Tottenham Hotspur are aiming to maintain their momentum in the top-four race when they travel to Aston Villa in the Premier League this afternoon.
Antonio Conte’s side surged to an emphatic 5-1 victory over Newcastle last weekend before Arsenal stumbled to a 3-0 defeat at Crystal Palace.
That left Spurs in fourth place, level on points with Arsenal and with a superior goal difference. Mikel Arteta’s side do still have one game in hand, though, meaning Tottenham cannot afford any slip-ups.
Villa come into the fixture on a disappointing run of form, having lost their last three league games in succession.
