Recent respective form guides

Tottenham Hotspur's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Spurs have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Aston Villa's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The games have constituted a decent return of 16 goals for the Villans, and 6 goals against.

Tottenham H. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 3 games have yielded only 1 points. Aston Villa see themselves just below half way in the Barclays Premier League, showing a record of 4 points from their 3 games played so far,
