Match Preview and Head-to-Head History

The two teams faced each other twice this season. Their last match was the FA Cup fourth round, which Villa won 2–1 in February. Villa’s midfielder, Jacob Ramsey, scored the first goal in the very first minute of the match. Morgan Rogers extended the lead in the 64th minute. Tottenham’s Mathys Tel responded with a stoppage-time goal in the 90th minute, but it wasn’t enough to prevent the Spurs’ exit from the FA Cup.

Before this, the two teams met in the first leg of their Premier League fixture in November. It was a home game for Tottenham, and they marked a decisive 4–1 win over Villa. Tottenham’s all four goals came in the second half – two by midfielder Dominic Solanke, and a goal each from Brennan Johnson and Morgan Rogers.

A win on Friday will be a big jump for both teams on the Premier League table. So, fans can expect plenty of action in this match!
