If other results go their way, Tottenham could move to the top of the Premier League table if they beat Aston Villa at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Indeed, they are currently in third position, just two points behind North London rivals Arsenal in first.
However, Villa will not make it easy for them having picked up form after a poor start to the season. Nonetheless, we are expecting an entertaining affair here.
