The Europa League final is within touching distance for Ange Postecoglou, but it’s all about the Premier League once again, this evening. The Australian has been under mounting pressure since Tottenham’s form began to wane last season, and currently, if it were not for three sides even more hellbent on relegation, then Spurs would be in even more trouble than they are.
**Our predicted line-up** for Aston Villa is Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne, Kamara, Onana, Rogers, Asensio, McGinn, Watkins.
17th in this division tells its own sorry story, and tonight’s clash at Villa Park is likely to only add to the woes at Hotspur Way. The kick-off time for tonight’s game is, 1930hrs.
For hosts Villa, it’s an important game because it could put them in a strong position from which to qualify for the Champions League. For Tottenham, it’s a menace of a fixture, as it could jeopardise our chances of fielding our very best XI for the final.

**Our predicted line-up** for Spurs is Vicario, Spence, Romero, Danso, Udogie, Bissouma, Gray, Sarr, Odobert, Son, and Richarlison.
Spurs face their worst-ever Premier League season so far, and this game could be our 21st loss of the season.
The match is being broadcast live tonight in the UK on Sky Sports. Coverage begins on Sky Sports Premier League at 7 pm BST, and of course, if you are a Sky Sports subscriber, you can watch the action unfold live via the Sky Go app.
The bookies really don’t see us getting much out of tonight, and it’s difficult to oppose them… with James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, and Lucas Bergvall all out, who would back us against a side in 67th hungry for more?! Villa are priced as keenly as 7/20 in places, and Spurs are out as 8/1.
So if you truly believe in the gaffer…
