Aston Villa enters the match with one point from their opening four fixtures. Tottenham Hotspur has struggled offensively, failing to score in their last four consecutive league matches. Historically, this fixture has produced decisive results, with none of the past 22 Premier League meetings between the two clubs ending in a draw.
