How to watch Tottenham Hotspur go in search of their first Premier League win – and their first league goal – when they take on Aston Villa this weekend.
Tottenham Hotspur’s woes continued this season when they took on Liverpool in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday at Anfield.
The Lilywhites were well beaten after the Reds won 3-1 to knock Roberto De Zerbi’s side out of the competition.
Following their elimination from the League Cup, Spurs’ attention is now set to return to the Premier League, where they take on Aston Villa.
Tottenham remain without a win or a goal after six hours of football in the English top flight, a record De Zerbi will be hoping to set straight this weekend.

Coming into the clash, De Zerbi still has several injuries to contend with.
Mykhailo Mudryk remains sidelined, with a return date pencilled in for after the international break.
Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert are also out, while Dejan Kulusevski is set to miss out as he continues his rehabilitation.
Sandro Tonali is also a doubt for this one after picking up a knock earlier this week, while Pedro Porro should be back involved in some capacity.

It is a big game for Tottenham, who are desperate to kickstart their season with a win on Saturday afternoon.
However, their situation is not too different from that of Villa, who are also without a win in the Premier League this season after four games.

Spurs are 17th, Villa are 19th, with Unai Emery’s men holding a worse goal difference, although they have scored just one goal – unlike Spurs, who are goalless this season.
They are two sides in not-too-dissimilar form, making this anyone’s game.
