• Three of Tottenham's last five games have ended in draws

• Aston Villa have won their last four

• Recommended bet: Draw and both teams to score

Tottenham and Aston Villa both have designs on top-four finishes and each found form heading into the October break.

Spurs are unbeaten in seven in all competitions, although three of their last five have been draws.

Meanwhile, Villa have won their last four games, beating Fulham and Burnley in the league and Bologna and Feyenoord in Europe.

One of the sides has emerged as a winner in each of the last 20 meetings, but that run could come to an end on Sunday, with each appearing to be in decent form.

Team news

Randal Kolo Muani could feature for Tottenham after recovering from a dead leg.

However, Dominic Solanke (ankle), James Maddison (ACL), Dejan Kulusevski (knee) and Radu Dragusin (ACL) are all sidelined for the hosts and Ben Davies is a doubt with a suspected muscle problem.

Ollie Watkins is expected to be fit for the visitors despite withdrawing from the England squad, but Youri Tielemans is still absent due to a calf issue.

Tyrone Mings (ankle), Jadon Sancho (illness) and Emiliano Buendia (head) are all expected to be assessed.

The stats

None of the last 20 league meetings between these sides have finished as draws (14 Tottenham wins, six Villa wins).

Villa have won four of the last five head-to-heads and have won eight of their last 10 league games immediately after an international break.

Spurs have won just three of their last 17 at home in the league.

Morgan Rogers' nine assists in open play is more than any other Premier League player in 2025.

Both teams have scored in four of Spurs' last five and two of Villa's last three.

Prediction

Thomas Frank and Unai Emery are two of the most adaptable coaches in the Premier League and will relish this tactical battle at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

However, that means there may be facets of this fixture in which they cancel each other out.

Spurs are unbeaten in seven in all competitions, but three of their last five have ended in score draws, with both sides scoring in four of that recent quintet.

Villa have already drawn twice away from home in the league, recording a 0-0 at Everton and 1-1 at Sunderland, and something like the latter could strike again on Sunday.
