Relegation-threatened Tottenham will hope to repeat their win at Wolves last weekend when they go to Aston Villa tonight.

It wasn’t a hugely impressive performance at Molineux but Joao Palhinha’s second-half strike was enough to hand Spurs a massive three points.

They remain deep in the mire ahead of a trip to a Villa side still trying to balance domestic and European commitments.

Thursday’s 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final was a blow and boss Unai Emery may rotate his team for this fixture with the return game this week.

Villa are highly likely to qualify for next season’s Champions League but a win here would all but make sure.
