Tottenham Hotspur will look to continue their unbeaten run as they take on Aston Villa at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday.
Third-placed Spurs, under new manager Thomas Frank, have enjoyed an impressive start to the campaign, and have remained unbeaten in their last seven league outings. Their attacking transitions have seen them score freely, making them one of the most exciting teams to watch so far this season.
Meanwhile, Unai Emery's Aston Villa arrives in North London full of confidence. After a tough start, a four-game winning streak has propelled them into the top half of the table. Key to their resurgence has been the attacking threat of Ollie Watkins, who is expected to be fit despite an international knock.
