The guests’ first advance. Watkins comes with the ball to the baseline on the left. Cash finds his half-high cross centrally in front of the five. But he doesn’t get any pressure behind his header and it ultimately remains harmless.

Game start
2:50 p.m
Unai Emery makes just one change to the star lineup after the 3-1 win against Fulham FC. Diego Carlos starts in central defense today. Tielemans has to make way for this and initially takes a seat on the bench.
2:38 p.m
After the 1-2 defeat against Wolverhampton, Postecoglou rotated to four positions. In defense, Dier will be replaced by Udogie. In midfield, Højbjerg, Bissouma and Sarr make way for Bentancur, Lo Celso and Bryan Gil.

The same applies to Aston Villa. The Birmingham club is right behind Spurs with 25 points. The current form speaks for today’s guests. Head coach Unai Emery’s team won three of the last five games in the league. The Villans played 1-1 against Wolverhampton and lost 2-0 to Nottingham Forest. With a win, Aston would move past Tottenham and be level on points with Liverpool FC.
2:14 p.m
The season has been perfect for Tottenham so far. After 13 games, the Londoners are in fourth place with 26 points. Overall, head coach Ange Postecoglou’s team celebrated eight wins and two games ended in a draw. The only two defeats they have suffered so far have been in their last two games. A 4-1 defeat against city rivals Chelsea was followed by a 2-1 defeat against Wolverhampton Wanderers. We need another win against Aston today so as not to lose touch with the top group of Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool.
2:00 p.m
Welcome to the 13th matchday of the English Premier League. Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa meet at 3 p.m. The game is led by Robert Jones.
