Aston Villa vs Tottenham Prediction
- Aston Villa claimed a huge three points at Bournemouth last weekend as they look to wrap up a top-five finish.
- The Villans have now won seven of their last eight league outings, and haven't lost a Premier League game at Villa Park since August.
- They should feel confident about maintaining their home dominance when they take on a Tottenham side whose focus is fully on next week's Europa League final.
- Spurs have won only one of their last 10 league matches, and even that came at home against a dire Southampton side.
- Villa have already beaten Spurs at home this season, and anything but a routine Villans victory would be a surprise.
Score Prediction: Aston Villa 2-0 Tottenham

Aston Villa vs Tottenham Bet Builder Tips
Our Bet Builder tips for Aston Villa vs Tottenham features Aston Villa to win, Watkins 2+ Shots on Target & Rogers to Assist a Goal.
At the time of publishing it is a best price of 7/1 with bet365.
- Aston Villa are in strong form, chasing a Champions League spot, and have won seven consecutive home games. Tottenham, sitting 16th in the league, have struggled, taking just five points from their last nine matches and focusing on their Europa League final.
- I expect Villa's forwards to have a lot of chances this game. Tottenham conceded 23 shots against Crystal Palace, who were away from home. They face a Villa side who have everything to play for. Watkins has had a shot on target in four of his last five games and has hit 2+ in 11 games this seasons.
- Rogers scored in the reverse tie and has adopted the role of playmaker in recent games, picking up five assists in his last seven games. I expect Villa to dominate this Spurs defence - giving Rogers plenty of opportunity to set up a chance.
