We're back in action this weekend following the recent international break as we host Aston Villa in the Premier League at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday afternoon (kick-off 2pm UK).
There have been 50 top-flight meetings between us and the Villans dating back to 1997/98 and, remarkably, the last 20 such fixtures have not seen a draw since a 1-1 at Villa Park in May 2012, with us winning 14 of those.
However, we're out for revenge this time after we fell to a 2-0 away defeat in our previous league outing in May last term and this weekend provides a fresh opportunity for Thomas Frank to get the better of Villa boss Unai Emery for the first time.
Currently sitting third in the standings after seven matches, our Head Coach will be buoyed by the impressive start and looking to pick up where we left off with that battling win at Leeds United which extended our unbeaten run to seven games in all competitions.
Mohammed Kudus, who played a key role in Ghana securing a spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, opened his Spurs account in that 2-1 success at Elland Road and the dangerous winger has completed 30 dribbles in the league so far this season, with no other player completing 20 or more.
Meanwhile, an interesting battle ground to keep an eye on will be in the set-piece department. This area has been a key focus under Thomas, something that could prove essential against the West Midlands outfit. We have scored from two corners to Villa's one, yet 25 per cent of our opponent's shots in the Premier League this season have been from corner situations (19/76) - only West Ham have a higher ratio (26 per cent) - so we'll also have to be resolute defensively to limit their chances.
