Tottenham Hotspur head to Villa Park looking to build on a crucial win, with past visits offering a hint of encouragement ahead of another high-stakes clash.

Tottenham Hotspur will be glad to have secured their first win of 2026 in their last Premier League outing against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

It was a 1-0 victory that came from a late Joao Palhinha strike – one that ensured Tottenham remain two points away from 17th-place West Ham United.

However, with four games still to play and Spurs still in the bottom three, Roberto De Zerbi’s men need to secure more victories if they are to keep their Premier League survival hopes alive.

Tottenham vs Aston Villa head-to-head record at Villa Park

Up next for Tottenham is another away trip, this time to Villa Park, where they will take on Unai Emery’s Aston Villa.

The last time these two met in the league, back on matchday eight, Aston Villa claimed all three points despite Spurs taking the lead inside five minutes, with goals from Emi Buendía and Morgan Rogers turning the game around.

Now, with Spurs at risk of relegation, they cannot afford any more slip-ups, making it vital for them to get a result against Unai Emery’s side this weekend.

Nonetheless, a look at the head-to-head record when Tottenham have visited Villa Park suggests that victory is possible, with Spurs winning eight of the last ten meetings, while Villa have managed just two wins in that period.

It is worth noting, however, that Villa’s victories have come in more recent meetings.

Spurs must capitalise as Forest and West Ham face tough fixtures

While the head-to-head record offers some encouragement for Tottenham, Spurs will still need to keep an eye on results involving their relegation rivals.

West Ham United are set to take on Brentford away from home, while Nottingham Forest face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

These are significant fixtures for both sides, who are up against teams chasing European spots. Should either slip up, Tottenham must be ready to capitalise, making a victory on Sunday even more important.
