Tottenham can move to within one point of fourth-placed Chelsea with a win over Aston Villa this weekend.
In a mirror of the opening day fixtures, Spurs travel to Villa Park to face Dean Smith's struggling side.
Winning points despite putting in unconvincing displays as been the order of the day for Spurs of late and Villa are perfectly capable of punishing another sloppy showing.
Date: Sunday, February 16, 2020
Venue: Villa Park
Kick-off time: 2pm GMT
Prediction: Aston Villa 1-2 Tottenham
Aston Villa's form has improved of late with three wins from their last seven but haven't taken a point off the top six yet this season. This should continue on Sunday.

Team news
Aston Villa's injury list is not getting any shorter, with Jed Steer (calf), Keinan Davis (thigh) and John McGinn (ankle) still a few weeks away. Danny Drinkwater (calf) could return while Ezri Konsa (thigh) has been training.
Tottenham will welcome Ben Davies (ankle) back into the squad after a three-month absence, but there are concerns over Giovani Lo Celso (thigh) and Erik Lamela (groin) ahead of the weekend. Steven Bergwijn is available.
