The pre-match formalities are done. Referee Simon Hooper blows his whistle, and Aston Villa get today's match underway on a rainy day in North London. Can Spurs establish their early title credentials and put pressure on Arsenal with a win? Stay tuned!

Tottenham vs Aston Villa LIVE Score: 3' TOT 0-0 AVL

Not much of note has happened in the early stages, but it has been quite a physical start to this match. A cross from Cash is deep inside the Spurs box but evades all his teammates. Good start from the visitors, though.

Tottenham vs Aston Villa LIVE Score: Bentancur GOAL! | 5' TOT 1-0 AVL

Only four and a half minutes on the clock, and Spurs have taken the lead. A cross is only partially cleared by Villa, and it falls to Spence. The full-back plays it to Kudus on the left, who whips in a peach of a delivery with his left foot. Palhinha does very well to head it back towards the middle, where Bentancur fires it past Martinez to give his side the lead.

Tottenham vs Aston Villa LIVE Score: Kudus Goal Overruled! | 7' TOT 1-0 AVL

Oh, that was close! A superb delivery from van de Ven from near his own penalty box found the run of Kudus. The Ghanian took it in his stride, and holding off the pressure from his marker, finished past Martinez and found the back of the net.

However, his celebration is cut short as the flag goes up for offside, which he was, by a metre or so.

Tottenham vs Aston Villa LIVE Score: 14' TOT 1-0 AVL

A corner in Spurs' almost found the head of the tall Villa defenders, but other than that, it has been easy going for the home side. They have the slightest bit more of the ball (51%), and are more or less controlling the tempo of the match.

Tottenham vs Aston Villa LIVE Score: 20' TOT 1-0 AVL

A ball from Guessand found Cash - with Hooper playing advantage. However, full-back's shot is dragged wide, even if Vicario was at full stretch. The pair have combined well on the flanks for the visitors, with Aston Villa seeing more of the ball.

However, they need to be careful with their high backline, with Tel almost running timing his run perfectly but failed to do so.

Tottenham vs Aston Villa LIVE Score: 23' TOT 1-0 AVL

A couple of bad fouls sees van de Ven see the first yellow card of the match, even though Villa would have preferred to play on.

Spurs, meanwhile, push forward with Tel finding Odobert on the edge of the box. There was a tangling between him and Onana right on the edge of the box, wit the Spurs forward claiming a penalty. No dice.

Tottenham vs Aston Villa LIVE Score: 28' TOT 1-0 AVL

A shot from Odobert from the edge of the box should have been a routine stop for Martinez, but the Argentina goalkeeper spilled it. Luckily, he grabbed on to it again before any danger arrived. Spurs are on the ascendancy here.

Tottenham vs Aston Villa LIVE Score: 35' TOT 1-0 AVL

Tel has been lively down the left flanks, and the Frenchman tried to cut inside before being robbed of the ball by a Villa defender. Onana receives some treatment after going down in pain.

Meanwhile, a lobbed pass towards Guessand almost found the forward, but Vicario came rushing out to clear the danger. A few moments later, Villa manage to get behind the Spurs backline, and Onana almost got at the end of Digne's cross but Vicario cleared.

Tottenham vs Aston Villa LIVE Score: Rogers GOAL! | 37' TOT 1-1 AVL

What a hit!! That is something special from Morgan Rogers, and Aston Villa are level. Cash and Guessand combine down the right, with the latter trying to find Rogers. A ricochet off a defender's leg finds the Villa player, who takes it on to his right and fired off a superb shot that found the top corner.

Tottenham vs Aston Villa LIVE Score: 43' TOT 1-1 AVL

After going down in pain – having seemingly twisted his ankle – Rogers gets some attention from the physios. Spurs, meanwhile, have a free-kick, which Porro hits straight at the referee. Hooper let's play continue, and the ball still finds Kudus, whose cross into the box almost found Tel. Aston Villa, needless to say, are not happy with the referee.

Morgan Rogers, meanwhile, is back on the pitch.

Tottenham vs Aston Villa LIVE Score: 45' TOT 1-1 AVL

With the scores still level at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the fourth official holds up his board to indicate a minimum of five minutes to be added on. Is there a late goal in the cards in the first half?

Tottenham vs Aston Villa LIVE Score: Half Time! | TOT 1-1 AVL

A half-chance for van de Ven, whose header from inside the box was over the bar. Other than that, there was a half-hearted penalty appeal as Porro's cross was blocked in the box, but VAR found no handball in the process.

After five minutes of stoppage time, Simon Hooper brings the first half to an end. A crucial second half lies in wait.

Tottenham vs Aston Villa LIVE Score: Second Half Starts! | TOT 1-1 AVL

Both sets of players are out on the pitch, and Spurs gets the second half rolling. No half-time changes for either side, and Rogers looks fine to continue after his injury scare at the end stages of the first half.

Tottenham vs Aston Villa LIVE Score: 52' TOT 1-1 AVL

Digne goes down in considerable pain after a coming together with Danso. VAR ruled that there was no malice behind the collission, but the left-back receives lengthy treatment on the pitch. However, he is eventually alright to continue.

Tottenham vs Aston Villa LIVE Score: 54' TOT 1-1 AVL

A long throw in the Villa box from Danso was almost poked home by Odobert, but Konsa makes an important block. Spurs appeal for handball, but Hooper says that Konsa's hands were close to his chest.

Moments later, Spurs push ahead against, and Palhinha has a shot from outside the box that curled just wide of the post, helped by Martinez's fingertips.

Tottenham vs Aston Villa LIVE Score: 61' TOT 1-1 AVL

The first change of the match for Tottenham, with Tel – who has been ineffective today – coming off for Richarlison. Meanwhile, Villa bring on Ollie Watkins and Emiliano Buendia, replacing Mallen and Guessand. Can the fresh legs be the difference for either teams?

Tottenham vs Aston Villa LIVE Score: 67' TOT 1-1 AVL

Another terrific long throw from Danso almost catches Martinez by surprise. The goalkeeper, having rushed out to clear, slipped, but thankfully, the defence gets the danger away. Danso, meanwhile, earns a booking after a foul.

Tottenham vs Aston Villa LIVE Score: Buendia GOAL! | 77' TOT 1-2 AVL

A cross from Cash is cleared behind for a corner, which is taken by Digne. His ball into the box is cleared, but Villa take possession. A long ball from their own half is received by Digne in stunning fashion, and he lays it for Buendia.

The Argentine takes an extra touch and then has a shot with his left from the edge of the box. The curling effort gives Martinez no chance, finding the top corner.

Tottenham vs Aston Villa LIVE Score: 82' TOT 1-2 AVL

After Spurs bring on Bergvall and Kolo Muani, Villa make their own double change. Ross Barkley comes on in place of Onana, and Maatsen replaces Digne.

Tottenham vs Aston Villa LIVE Score: 86' TOT 1-2 AVL

With time running out for Spurs, Thomas Frank make another double change. Benatancur and Spence are off, and on come Pape Matar Sarr and Brennan Johnson. It's all out attack for the home side in the final four minutes plus stoppage time.

Tottenham vs Aston Villa LIVE Score: 90' TOT 1-2 AVL

The fourth official indicates a minimum of ... minutes to be added on at the end of regulation time. That's how long Spurs have to make a comeback and get at least a point from this contest. Villa, on the other hand, will look to take all three points back to West Midlands.

Despite sustained pressure from Spurs, Aston Villa did exceedingly well to hold on to their lead. The visitors even slightly threatened Spurs going forward, with Kamara almost being played through on the counter. Johnson, meanwhile, saw his shot from inside the box fly over the bar.

However, there's no late drama tonight, and the match ends 2-1 to Aston Villa's favour.

Under pressure, Ange Postecoglou will lead his team into their biggest game of the season against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League quarter-finals this Thursday night. After a disappointing loss to Liverpool in the EFL Cup semi-finals, Spurs are focused on making a strong Europa League run to salvage their season, with Postecoglou aiming for a trophy within two years.

Poor from Tottenham and Moises Caicedo, the man who was nearly out of this game in the first few minutes due to an injury, had got himself on the scoresheet. Or so he thought! The goal has been turned down amid Chelsea celebrations. Referee takes his time to watch and re-watch the action and he deems it offside.

Enzo Fernandes has opened the scoring and Chelsea lead. It is 1-0. It was coming, wasn't it? Chelsea were consistently threatening to score and finally they do thanks to Fernandes' header. He jumps right and slots the ball into the left side of the goal from close range.

Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur LIVE Score, Premier League: Welcome

Hello and welcome to tonight's big fixture in the Premier League featuring Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge.

The club's revenue fell from £549.6 million in the previous year to £528.2 million in their latest financial report, though they did reduce losses after tax from £26.2 million to £86.8 million in 2023.

In the past Levy has been the subject of criticism for not spending enough on the squad and, with the club on course for their lowest league finish in 21 years, there are calls for him to spend big again.

But when speaking on Monday, he reiterated that the club need to be financially sustainable.

"Since opening our new stadium in April 2019, we have invested over 700 million pounds net in player acquisitions," said Levy in a statement.

"Recruitment remains a key focus, and we must ensure that we make smart purchases within our financial means.

"I often read calls for us to spend more, given that we are ranked as the ninth-richest club in the world. However, a closer examination of today's financial figures reveals that such spending must be sustainable in the long term and within our operating revenues.

"Our capacity to generate recurring revenues determines our spending power. We cannot spend what we do not have, and we will not compromise the financial stability of this club."

Central to Spurs' drop in revenue was a lack of UEFA prize money, having earned just £1.3 million in 2024 compared to £56.2 million the previous year due to their lack of involvement in European competitions.

Spurs are currently 14th in the Premier League, having lost 15 of their 29 matches, and travel to Chelsea on Thursday after a near-three-week hiatus.

Having won just three of their last 13 matches in the Premier League, they are on course for their lowest league position for 21 years since finishing 14th in 2003-04.

“I guess the domino effect of certain things happening. You try and assess things as you go along but my inclination is we probably got the start of the year wrong," said Postecoglou.

“It’s becoming increasingly challenging for footballers these days they don’t get a traditional break, I just think we went into the start of the season really hard and probably underestimated the challenges of Europe this year with your two extra games and having a big cup run.

“Then you add into the mix that we lost some key players earlier on and it feels like we’ve been chasing our tail ever since and we haven’t been able to get some steady ground.

"A lot of that goes back to the start of the year, maybe we would have taken a different approach knowing the season we had ahead.”

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca, meanwhile, spoke about the gap between themselves and the teams at the top of the Premier League following his side's 1-0 defeat at Arsenal in their last league game.

“It is quite big,” said Maresca, when asked about the gap between Arsenal and Chelsea. “The reason why is because they are working with the same manager for five years.

“The difference is quite important. With the same players, they already played for some important games.

“But our target, our duty is to close that gap between us and them. In this moment, the table just says the difference between us and them it’s six points, if I am not wrong."

Cucrella has scored two goals in his last three league appearances for Chelsea, having scored in back-to-back Premier League games for the first time in his time at the club.

The Spaniard has also registered at least one shot in seven of his last nine league games, while he has had two in his last two matches.

Son has registered nine Premier League assists this season, making him one away from recording 10+ assists in four separate seasons in the competition (10 in each of 2019-20, 2020-21, and 2023-24), which would equal Christian Eriksen’s Premier League record for Tottenham.

Chelsea have lost just one of their last 12 Premier League games against Spurs (W9 D2), with their last defeat coming in November 2018.

Chelsea have also won their last three matches in a row against Spurs by an aggregate score of 10-4.

They have, in fact, won more Premier League games (36) and scored more Premier League goals (120) against Tottenham than they have vs any other opponent.

No side has earned fewer points in Premier League London derbies this season than Tottenham Hotspur (10, level with Brentford), who have lost five of nine such games this season (W3 D1).

Coming into this matchday, only Leicester (10) and Southampton (12) have lost more Premier League away games this season than Tottenham Hotspur (eight). Not since 2008-09 have Spurs suffered more away defeats in a single league campaign (11).

Vertonghen, who now plays for Anderlecht in his home nation, has been limited to just five appearances across all competitions after Achilles and ankle problems.

The 37-year-old retired from international football last July, ending his career with Belgium as the Red Devils' all-time appearance maker with 157 caps for his country.

Vertonghen started his career with Eredivisie side Ajax before completing a move to Spurs in 2012, and would spend eight years in north London.

The defender made 315 appearances for the club in all competitions, scoring 14 times and twice being named in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year.

He was also a key figure in Mauricio Pochettino's team that reached the Champions League final in 2019, a game they lost 2-0 to Liverpool in Madrid.

Following his spell with Spurs, Vertonghen joined Benfica on a three-year deal before signing on a free transfer with Anderlecht in 2022 after his previous contract was terminated.

Vertonghen cited an inability to properly prepare for games as key to his decision, and will hang up his boots after Anderlecht's final league game of the season against Genk.

"I have noticed that it is becoming more and more difficult to prepare myself physically for training sessions and matches and to show myself as the player I want to be," he said.

"Not only towards the fans and my fellow players, but also towards myself. That is why I will be stopping after this season."

Facing a 1-0 deficit after a dreadful first-leg performance, Tottenham hit back to go in front in the tie through goals from Wilson Odobert and Maddison in Thursday's second leg.

Peer Koopmeiners made it 2-2 on aggregate just past the hour mark, but Odobert – who had not scored for Spurs until Thursday – grabbed his brace to send them through.

Tottenham have struggled in the Premier League this season, sitting 13th in the table, eight points adrift of the top half.

The midfielder told TNT Sports: "There was a lot of talk after last week's performance, we were honest with ourselves – it wasn't good enough.

"I know what we're capable of here and we got the job done. We haven't achieved anything yet, we're in the quarter-finals and we kick on and we look forward to it."

Tottenham will face Eintracht Frankfurt in the last eight, with either Lazio or Bodo/Glimt facing the winner of that tie in the semi-finals.

Spurs have been beset by injuries this season but were back to something approaching full strength on Thursday, and Maddison felt having regular centre-back duo Cristian Romero and Micky van de Van reuniting together was key.

"Over the last few months when we've spoken about injuries and missing key players, then tonight, we're stood in the tunnel and you look at the team and it's a group of men," Maddison said.

"When you have the spine of players who are experienced and have played at this level for a long time it makes a difference.

"Micky and Cuti, they were good at the back, it was a solid performance and we're deservedly through.

"Wilson Odobert will grab the headlines tonight and rightly so, two goals and he was a threat, I thought he was absolutely fantastic. I'm going to go give him a big pat on the back."

AZ Alkmaar turned out to be the better side in their UEFA Europa League 2024-25 Round of 16 first leg clash against Tottenham on Thursday night at home. The Dutch side got the lead through on own goal from Tottenham's Lucas Bergvall in just the 18th minute of the game. Tottenham could not bounce back and dished out a lackluster performance as Alkmaar came close to doubling their lead quite a few times.

The Dutch side enter the Round of 16 phase after defeating Galatasaray in the playoffs whereas Spurs claimed fourth spot in the league phase to earn direct entry.

Alkmaar have already played Spurs early on in the season, and lost the match 1-0. The Eredivisie side have had average performances this season due to which they found themselves languishing in the 19th spot in the Europa League league phase.

As for Tottenham, Ange Postecoglou's team have had a better outing in Europe as compared to their Premier League games. With key players returning from injury, the Aussie coach has only UEL as a hope of silverware this season.

The AZ Alkmaar vs Tottenham Hotspur, UEFA Europa League 2024-25 Round Of 16 1st Leg match will take place on March 6, Thursday at AFSAS Stadium at 11:15 PM IST.

The AZ Alkmaar vs Tottenham Hotspur, UEFA Europa League 2024-25 Round Of 16 1st Leg match can be live streamed on the SonyLiv app and website in India. One can watch the live telecast of the same on the Sony Sports Network.

A clinical Spurs ran out 4-0 winners over City at the Etihad Stadium in November, having also knocked them out of the EFL Cup the month before.

That result in the top-flight was followed up by a tough spell for Spurs which saw them drop down the table, but having won their last three in the league, they are now up in 12th on 33 points.

"We've enjoyed our games against them, whether that was this year or last year. They're going to try and win; they're going to try and play expansively, and we are going to try and do the same. It's going to be a good test for us."

City endured a disappointing week after a 3-1 defeat to Real Madrid saw them exit the Champions League in the play-offs on Wednesday (6-3 on aggregate) before they were soundly beaten 2-0 by Liverpool on Sunday.

Guardiola says he has not been surprised by Spurs' recent winning run, which has coincided with a raft of players returning from injury, noting the individual talent Postecoglou has in his side.

"The rhythm they play and intensity they do, incredible runners in the transitions, but I think lately they have a few more extra passes.

Son Heung-min has provided nine assists for Tottenham in the Premier League this season, including two for Brennan Johnson in their 4-1 win against Ipswich last time out.

Only in 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2023-24 has he provided more in a single campaign in the competition (10 each time).

Guardiola "hopes" Erling Haaland will be fit to face Spurs, and his involvement would be vital. He has scored six goals in five Premier League games in London this season.

The Norwegian is also one away goal away from scoring 10+ home goals and 10+ away goals in three different Premier League campaigns (also 2022-23 and 2023-24). The only player to have ever done so in three consecutive seasons is Harry Kane (2015-16 to 2017-18).

While City are tipped to get back to winning ways on Wednesday, Spurs have already beaten them twice this season (4-0 in the Premier League and 2-1 in the EFL Cup). The last time Tottenham beat the reigning English champions three times in a single campaign was 1984-85 (v Liverpool).

Following their 4-0 win in the reverse fixture, Spurs are also looking to do the league double over City for the first time since 2021-22. They last did so without conceding in 2009-10.

City have failed to win any of their last three Premier League away games against London sides (D2 L1), having won six in a row beforehand. Their last trip to the capital saw them beaten 5-1 by Arsenal.
