Aston Villa vs Tottenham Hotspur Prediction

Aston Villa have not shied away from spending big money in recent transfer windows. They are 11th in the league table, and have lost their last three league games. Brazilian midfielder Philippe Coutinho has been excellent since joining the club on loan from Barcelona in January. The 29-year old has scored four goals and provided three assists so far.

Strikers Danny Ings and Ollie Watkins have not been at their very best this season. The England internationals have combined to score 13 league goals.

Tottenham Hotspur, on the other hand, stand a good chance of playing Champions League football next season. With Harry Kane and Son Heung-min have picked up form and look good, it is the arrival of January transfers Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski from Juventus that has proved to be pivotal.
