Further changes from Villa as the final five minutes approach...

A first change this evening as Emery looks to shake things up...

Play resumes at Villa Park. Can the home side battle back, or is Spurs just 45 minutes away from a massive result?

Villa have it all to do in the second half...

HALF-TIME

At the 40-minute mark, Villa have failed to dispatch a single shot, on goal or otherwise, in front of home support.

The home crowd are hardly too pleased about what has been an abject opening half from Emery's men.

A sign of things to come under RDZ?

With that, Richarilson pulls level with Roberto Firmino for the most 10-goal seasns in the Premier League by a Brazilian.

GOAL!!!

Richarlison gets on the end of a looping ball into the box from Mathys Tel, with the Brazilian's glancing header flying into the roof of Martínez's net!

Aston Villa 0-2 Tottenham

Tottenham have been the brighter side across the opening ~20 minutes despite being away from home.

This sort of performance would surely guarantee safety.

CHANCE!

Spurs nearly make it 2-0 just minutes later through a long-range belter from João Palhinha, but it comes off the inside of Emi Martínez's far post!

GOAL!!!

And Spurs have a vital strike inside the opening 15 minutes!

Conor Gallagher bags his first for the club after his move from Atlético de Madrid, and it could not come at a better time!

Aston Villa 0-1 Tottenham

Spurs will need one of their best one-off performances of the season against a very good Villa side, who look to truly supplant them in the "Premier League big six."

And we're underway at Villa Park.

Can Unai Emery's outfit oust Tottenham and keep them in the bottom three for one more week, or will Roberto De Zerbi lead Spurs to another vital result to climb out of the drop zone?

Coming up in a shade under 30 minutes is the final fixture on a Sunday of Premier League action as Aston Villa host relegation-threatened Tottenham.

Here are the XIs for the Villa Park showdown, in case you missed them...
