Tottenham Hotspur’s next fixture is arguably one of the biggest games they will play all season, as they take on Aston Villa this weekend. Here’s how to watch the game, when it takes place, and what injury issues Spurs face.
As we approach the final stretch of this thrilling Premier League campaign, it looks like Tottenham and Aston Villa will be the two teams fighting it out for a spot in the top four come the end of the season.
Spurs are currently fifth in the league, five points behind Villa but with a game in hand. The result of the upcoming game could well spell the end of that hunt for Champions League football for the Lilywhites, or it could flip the battle on its head entirely.

Team news for the Spurs vs Villa game
The main talking points for Spurs going into this weekend will be the situation surrounding Pedro Porro and Richarlison and whether these key players will be passed fit to play.
Richarlison had been expected to be out for up to three weeks, but the man himself told ESPN Brazil last weekend that he expects to be back in training this week and ready for the Villa game. Porro, meanwhile, has missed the last two Spurs games and is in a race against time to feature this weekend.
Spurs will definitely be without Fraser Forster, Manor Solomon, and Ryan Sessegnon, who have long-term injuries and may struggle to play again this season.
Villa have a number of key players out for the rest of the campaign: Boubacar Kamara, Tyrone Mings, and Emi Buendia are not going to face Spurs. Meanwhile, Jhon Duran, Diego Carlos, and Jacob Ramsey could be in contention, but they are unlikely to start the game.
The Spurs Web prediction
This is such a hard one to call. Villa are in great form, and they’ll relish taking us on at home, but we are so dangerous, too. I’m going to be positive and put Spurs down for a 2-1 win, and I really hope I’m right.
