Two winless sides meet at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Tottenham host Aston Villa in an early Saturday kick-off, both desperate for their first Premier League points on the board.
Spurs are still chasing their first league win and their first goal of the campaign, having failed to score in their last four Premier League outings despite two recent clean sheets.
Villa arrive in even deeper trouble, sitting 19th in the table after taking just one point and scoring only one goal across their opening four fixtures of the season.
There is history in this one for the visitors, who have won four of their last five trips to Spurs across both league and cup meetings.
Tottenham vs Aston Villa Form
Tottenham sit 17th for both standing and form, and the numbers tell the story: they have failed to score in their last four Premier League matches. Two clean sheets on the bounce against Nottingham Forest and Everton show the back line is stubborn, but with under 2.5 goals in their last three league games, the finishing is the glaring problem. James Maddison is pushing to return from a 16-month absence from competitive football.
Villa are 19th on both the standings and form rankings, having managed just one point and one goal in four league games. Their strength is defending set pieces and protecting a lead, but finishing has deserted them. Emiliano Buendia and John McGinn carry the creative load, while the engine room leans on Boubacar Kamara and Ross Barkley to keep them ticking over.
Tottenham vs Aston Villa Lineups & Team News
Injuries & Suspensions
Tottenham: Wilson Odobert (Injured/out), Xavi Simons (Injured/out), Dejan Kulusevski (Injured/out), Sandro Tonali (Injured/doubtful), Pedro Porro (Injured/doubtful), Richarlison (Ineligible)
Aston Villa: Ian Maatsen (Injured/out), Pau Torres (Injured/out), Amadou Onana (Injured/out), Leon Goretzka (Injured/out)
Tottenham
Pedro Porro is expected to return from the minor injury that kept him out against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup, though he remains a doubt, as does Sandro Tonali after a knock. Maddison has been out of competitive action for 16 months and is now in contention to start here, which would be a major boost for Spurs' creativity. Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert are long-term absentees, with Dejan Kulusevski and Mykhailo Mudryk also unavailable and Richarlison ineligible.
Aston Villa
Joao Gomes is available after serving a three-game ban but is doubtful having missed the Coventry cup tie with a minor issue. Ian Maatsen faces up to two months out with an ankle injury, while Matteo Ruggeri is in line to make his Premier League debut. Pau Torres remains sidelined with a hamstring problem.

Tottenham vs Aston Villa Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Our Tottenham vs Aston Villa prediction is a narrow home win. Spurs are favourites at 21/20 with Unibet, and while they are yet to find the net in the league, home advantage and Villa's own struggles in front of goal point to a 2-1 result to the hosts.
Best Bets
Back Ben Davies to record over 0.5 shots on target in the Player Shots On Target market. This selection carries a strong expected-value edge, with an AI-assessed probability that comfortably clears the implied bookmaker figure, making the defender well worth a look to test the keeper.
Back Archie Gray to make over 1.5 tackles in the Player Tackles market. Another value angle, with a projected win probability approaching 60% and a healthy expected-value figure behind it. In a midfield battle likely to be scrappy, backing Gray to get stuck in and rack up the tackles reads sensibly.
Tottenham vs Aston Villa Bet Builder
Dominic Solanke has scored in three of his last four Premier League outings against Villa, so the anytime goalscorer market makes plenty of sense for the Spurs frontman.
Solanke also brings the shot count, having recorded 1+ shots on target in five of his last six Premier League appearances versus Villa, backing up the over 2.5 shots leg.

Tottenham vs Aston Villa Talking Points
This is a proper scrap between two teams desperate to end winless starts, and both need the points before the international break. Spurs have hinted at signs of life, with Conor Gallagher scoring their first goal against top-flight opposition of the season in the EFL Cup meeting with Liverpool, but the league drought goes on. Summer signing Jan Paul van Hecke has settled quickly into the back line, and with Maddison finally fit enough to be in the frame after more than a year on the sidelines, the hosts have creative reinforcements coming. Referee Sam Barrott takes charge, with John Brooks on VAR, and given Tottenham have received 2+ cards in five of their last five against Villa, discipline could well shape this one.
