Another chance for Spurs to climb out of the relegation zone

Tottenham this week face another challenging test in their fight to stay in the Premier League with a trip to Aston Villa.

Roberto De Zerbi’s side remain in the relegation zone, two points adrift of safety, but could clamber out of the bottom three with victory at Villa Park.

Last weekend’s narrow defeat of Wolves, which ended a 15-match winless run, was not enough to quell relegation fears but De Zerbi will hope to at least build some momentum ahead of the run-in.

Villa, meanwhile, are at the business end of the Europa League, with this match coming between the two legs of their semi-final against Nottingham Forest. They are also within touching distance of a top-five finish in the Premier League.

The Villans fell to a surprise defeat at Craven Cottage last time out - their first league loss since March - but still sit fifth in the table and could finish the weekend as high as third, pending results elsewhere.

Aston Villa vs Tottenham is scheduled for a 7pm BST kick-off on Sunday, May 3, 2026.

The match will take place at Villa Park in Birmingham.

Aston Villa vs Tottenham team news

Tottenham have not had a full complement at their disposal at any point of this campaign, and that fact will not change in Birmingham.

Xavi Simons is the latest man sidelined with an ACL rupture, and he joins Cristian Romero and Mohammed Kudus in being out until the end of the campaign.

Dominic Solanke is a doubt with a muscular injury, while Roberto De Zerbi is optimistic Destiny Udogie can feature.

Pape Matar Sarr is out indefinitely with a shoulder injury, while Guglielmo Vicario is yet to return to training after undergoing hernia surgery.

James Maddison has been named to a couple of matchday squads this season after recovering from an ACL surgery, but is not yet thought to be match fit. Dejan Kulusevski remains out with a long-term knee injury, with Wilson Odobert and Ben Davies completing the sidelined contingent.

Villa, meanwhile, may look to rest key players in this match ahead of Thursday’s Europa League semi-final second leg.

Three players will certainly play no part, though, with Alysson, Amadou Onana, and Boubacar Kamara all ruled out with injuries.

Aston Villa vs Tottenham prediction

Tottenham’s laborious win over Wolves at the weekend will have done little to inspire supporters.

De Zerbi’s men flattered to deceive against the already-relegated Midlanders, and will face much stiffer opposition here.

Villa, of course, will be tired from their first-leg against Forest and thinking primarily of the second, but should have no great issues dispatching the north London club.

Aston Villa to win, 2-0.
