Aston Villa will attempt to break the Premier League club record against Tottenham Hotspur.
Aston Villa will attempt to set a new Premier League club record when they face Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon.
Following a seventh-place finish last season, Villa has accumulated 25 points from 12 games this season to sit in fifth place in the standings.
Despite a 2-0 setback at Nottingham Forest on November 5, Unai Emery’s team has established a four-point lead over sixth place.
Villa are just three points off the top spot, and with Manchester City and Liverpool meeting this weekend, there is still time for Villa to climb the ladder.
If Villa win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, they will move one point ahead of Spurs.
Emery will be focused on that goal, despite Villa being underdogs heading into the game in North London, having lost three of their six away games in the Premier League this season.
Aston Villa will attempt to break the Premier League club record against Tottenham Hotspur.
However, if Villa defeat Ange Postecoglou‘s team, they will set a new club record for the number of Premier League wins in a calendar year.
That was equaled before the November international break, as Villa defeated Fulham 3-1 at home for their 21st Premier League victory of 2023.
While Villa have a flawless home record, they have only seven points from six games on the road, despite being unbeaten in five matches in London since Emery’s arrival a little more than a year ago.
Furthermore, Emery has not lost a single Premier League game against Spurs since taking over as Arsenal manager in May 2018 till November 2019.
Spurs have not lost consecutive home league matches against Villa since the beginning of the 1995-96 season.
When these two clubs met on New Year’s Day last season, Villa won 2-0, with Emiliano Buendia and Douglas Luiz scoring in the second half.
