Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston Villa Predictions
Tottenham and Villa may remain locked together
Tottenham have failed to win any of their opening four Premier League games, with their last two ending 0-0 against Nottingham Forest and Everton. Those draws followed successive league defeats, while Spurs have still not scored in the competition.
Aston Villa have made a similarly slow league start. Unai Emery’s side have collected one point from four matches and scored only once, with just six shots on target across that run.
Both clubs would normally expect to challenge for a top-six place, leaving Roberto De Zerbi and Unai Emery with work to do over the international break. Tottenham also lost 3-1 to Liverpool in the EFL Cup in midweek, with their heavy summer spending yet to improve their league results.
Villa also spent heavily during the summer, although several members of the first-team squad had asked to move on. Their EFL Cup and Champions League results have been more encouraging, but the Premier League numbers remain much harder to ignore.
The recent head-to-head record offers a contrast. Both teams have scored in eight of the last ten meetings and in each of the last three, while Tottenham have struck six times across two EFL Cup ties and Villa have scored seven goals in three outings outside their league struggles.
Even so, the domestic evidence is much tighter. With Tottenham still goalless after four league fixtures and Villa sitting on one league goal and one point, I’m backing the draw at 3.75.

Nicolas Jackson can make his minutes count
Nicolas Jackson remains the main player angle after starting four of Aston Villa’s possible five games since his summer move. He has scored once, despite being limited to 67 minutes across the club’s last two fixtures.
The former Chelsea striker has also registered three shots on target in three appearances. He has completed more than an hour only once during that spell, so those efforts have come despite restricted playing time.
Jackson is expected to remain the focal point of the Villa attack, with his height and power giving him a clear physical presence. Tammy Abraham was given his opportunity in the EFL Cup, but he has played only 71 minutes across three games.
Jackson’s starting record and three shots on target keep him at the front of Villa’s attacking options, and Nicolas Jackson To Score Anytime could be worth a look at 3.25.
