Jose Mourinho’s Spurs side has found some good form over recent weeks. In its last league match, it defeated Manchester City 2-0. This is in conjunction with advancing to the next round of the FA Cup. With the Champions League on the horizon, this mini-break in England should have helped Tottenham catch its second wind for the rest of the season. If the team can continue on its recent path of successful results, a Top 4 finish looks promising with Chelsea not making any additions in January.
On the opposite end of the table, Aston Villa is in a tough fight for its Premier League life. After being promoted to the top flight just this season, the Villains are in danger of going back down. The team is just one point above the relegation zone with 14 matches remaining. While there is plenty of time left to guarantee safety for next season, some positive results are needed. The club brought in some help in January to ensure it keeps its place in the league. Striker Mbwana Samatta has been brought in from Belgium to pick up the goal-scoring slack left by the injured Wesley.
