After a slow start to the season, Tottenham find themselves in 17th again.
They have at least avoided defeat in their last two league games after losing the first two, but both were 0-0 draws.
More significantly, Spurs are yet to score a goal, which will be even more worrying for Roberto De Zerbi.
Pedro Porro and Sandro Tonali are also fitness doubts at the time of writing, while key players like Dejan Kulusevski and Xavi Simons remain on the sidelines.
The situation is not much better for Villa, with Matty Cash and Joao Gomes among four injury doubts, while the likes of Leon Goretzka and Ian Maatsen remain on the treatment table.
They will not panic though having had a poor start last season, and eventually make the Champions League.
Unai Emery will be disappointed with just one league goal scored so far though, while they are not as defensively sound as they would have liked to be either having conceded seven times.
The Villans have won four of the previous five meetings between the sides, although Tottenham won this corresponding fixture 2-1 last season.

Whispers predicts: Tottenham 1-1 Aston Villa
Tottenham are 21/20 (2.05) favourites with bookies, but given they are yet to win a league game, we are happy to back against them.
With Villa yet to win either, a Draw at 27/10 (3.70) looks well-priced, while Under 2.5 goals at 1/1 (2.00) also stands out given they have scored just once between them.
Our last pick focuses on the corners market, as nine of Tottenham's last 10 league matches have produced 10 or more corners.
Over 9.5 corners at 4/6 (1.67) therefore looks a safe bet, while our prediction of a 1-1 draw can also be backed at 13/2 (7.50).
> Over 9.5 corners at 1.67 | Likelihood: High
> Under 2.5 goals at 2.00 | Likelihood: Medium
> Draw at 3.70 | Likelihood: Low
