Preamble
This should be good. With Tottenham beating Manchester City in midweek and Aston Villa on such a good run overall, they are two clubs with optimism flowing through them. Although optimism can be easily destroyed in the Spurs. And Aston Villa have won three of their five Premier League games in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, including each of the last two, the stattos say. Will Unai Emery be able to surpass Ange-ball? It's very possible, you know? Villa can go third in the table if they win, while Spurs can move up to seventh place.
