Tottenham fans will be hoping that their long wait for a Premier League goal and win will end when they host Aston Villa on Saturday.
Ahead of the international break, Spurs face a home clash against a Villa side who have had an even poorer start to the season than they have.

Roberto De Zerbi is confident that it is only a matter of time before things start clicking for Tottenham in front of goal, and he will be desperate for that to happen on Saturday.
De Zerbi is already coming under huge criticism from the media, and another defeat will pile serious pressure on the Italian and his team.
Tottenham deemed massive favourites to beat Aston Villa
The good news for Spurs is that they are facing one of the three sides currently below them in the Premier League table.
Villa have drawn one and lost three out of their opening four matches, having scored just one goal while conceding seven.
That is perhaps why Opta’s Supercomputer gives Tottenham a 48.6 per cent chance of coming away with their first win of the league campaign.
The data analysis platform only gives Unai Emery’s side a 26.5 per cent chance of picking up their first win, while a draw is close behind at 24.9 per cent.
Roberto De Zerbi will be hoping his forwards have their finishing boots on
Tottenham showed signs of improvement in attack against Liverpool on Tuesday, with Spurs having a much higher xG than the home side.
It was their inability to finish those chances that cost them, with Omar Marmoush, Lucas Bergvall, Mohammed Kudus and Savio all missing big opportunities.
De Zerbi has hinted that he may go with a front four of Marmoush, Kudus, Savio and Solanke for the Villa clash, and the Spurs boss will be hoping his strikers have their shooting boots on.
