"Thomas Frank has not enjoyed much success against Unai Emery in the past, but Tottenham's clash against Aston Villa could prove whether the north London side are serious title contenders or just pretenders. Spurs are currently third in the Premier League table after seven games, but a win against Villa could see them go top if both Arsenal and Liverpool drop points against Fulham and Manchester United, respectively."
"What's expected? Despite Spurs' strong start to the league, most of their success has come away from home as they have won just four points from three games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Spurs have won just three of their last 17 Premier League home games (D4 L10). Indeed, since the first game of this run (November 2024 v Ipswich Town), no ever-present side has lost more home games (10) or picked up fewer home points (13) in the competition than them."
Thomas Frank remains without a Premier League victory against Unai Emery. Tottenham occupy third place after seven matches and could move top with a win combined with Arsenal and Liverpool dropping points. Aston Villa climbed to 13th after back-to-back league wins following a slow start to the season. Spurs and Villa both possess strong records in matches immediately after international breaks. Tottenham's success this season has been stronger away from home, while home form has been poor, with only three wins in their last 17 Premier League home fixtures and just four home points so far.
