🏴 Tottenham vs Aston Villa 🏴 — Prediction
Premier League · Matchday 5 · Sat, 19 Sept 2026, 13:30 CEST · Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London
Why we called it
Roberto De Zerbi's Tottenham are 17th and still without a Premier League goal after four games (two 0-0s, 0-2 v Newcastle, 0-3 at Brentford), and they lose Dominic Solanke (hamstring) and Xavi Simons (ACL) on top of Kulusevski, Mudryk and keeper Vicario, so Omar Marmoush leads the line with Sávio and Mateus Fernandes behind him. Unai Emery's Villa are 19th with one point (0-4 at Brighton, 0-1 v Arsenal, 0-0 v Hull, 1-2 v Forest), have sold Watkins and Rogers, and miss Onana, Goretzka, Madjo and Pau Torres, with Nicolas Jackson their main threat. Two winless, nervy sides with no clear favourite in the previews: a coin-flip, so a 1-1 draw. Goal is a marginal call because both defences have been porous while both attacks are blunt, but the pressure on both to attack should open it up.
