Tottenham Hotspur head into another crucial weekend in their survival fight, with a trip to Villa Park offering both opportunity and pressure in equal measure. Here’s how to watch the clash between Tottenham and Aston Villa.
Tottenham Hotspur must now build on their victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers this weekend when they take on Aston Villa at Villa Park.
Spurs do have a strong record away in the West Midlands, having won eight of their last ten matches when visiting Villa’s stadium.
The odds could also tilt slightly in favour of Tottenham given Villa’s European commitments, but Roberto De Zerbi’s men must show that they are up to the task.
A much better showing than what was displayed against Wolves could well be enough for the Lilywhites, who continue to fight for Premier League survival with four games to go.

Spurs must seize opportunity in survival battle
This is a crucial weekend for Tottenham in their fight to stay in the Premier League, as two of their relegation rivals also face significant fixtures.
Nottingham Forest are up against Chelsea, who are chasing European places, while West Ham United face Brentford.
Both sides come into their respective clashes in better form than their opponents, with Chelsea without a win in their last five league outings and Brentford having suffered a defeat against Manchester United last time out.
Their games could go either way, and Spurs must be ready to capitalise should results go in their favour, while ensuring they secure a result themselves, making victory vital for the Lilywhites.
Score prediction: Aston Villa 1-2 Tottenham.
