Premier League 2022-23: Tottenham vs Aston Villa: Predicted ... (Khel Now)

Tottenham host Aston Villa on Sunday lunchtime in another challenge for both clubs in the Premier League 2022-23.

Aston Villa caused big issues, but if they hadn’t missed any chances, they would have comfortably won the game; on the other hand, Tottenham came late to draw 2-2 with Brentford. The 25-year-old proved a problem for Liverpool, but if he had been clinical, Aston Villa would have won. His impact on the game boosts team spirit, and his presence always results in favourable results for the Spurs. The former Villarreal coach appears to have completed his task; all that remains is for his ideas to be well adopted on the field. [Aston Villa ](https://khelnow.com/tag/aston-villa/)were defeated 3-1 by [Liverpool](https://khelnow.com/tag/liverpool/) at home. They have strived for narrow victories in recent matches, and if this pattern continues, Spurs will underperform.

There are lots of ways to get Aston Villa on side with your money. Villa could be that team under Unai Emery and have shown really positive signs with their performance levels against Manchester United, Brighton and Liverpool. That is a reliable set of data pointing to serious flaws in the way Tottenham approach matches. Eventually, a savvy and shrewd side with good defensive nous is going to make Spurs pay.

Tottenham make transfer decision on £22m flop Emerson Royal ... (Football365.com)

Tottenham are willing to sell £22million right-back Emerson after a training ground bust-up, according to a report from Football Insider.

His wage demands are expected to be hefty, especially if he leaves Juventus at the end of the season and not for a transfer fee next month. And this term has been no different. Rabiot was a Manchester United target last summer and the Red Devils appear to now be out of the race. The Juventus midfielder is out of contract at the end of the season and Tottenham will probably be active in the winter transfer window and have been linked with another Serie A player in Adrien Rabiot. This is good news for Doherty, who will likely be Conte’s first choice for the rest of the season, with the Italian obviously not a fan of Spence.

Tottenham vs Aston Villa predictions: Spurs to kick off 2023 in style (LiveScore)

With Harry Kane in form, Tottenham can get their top-four push off to a great start in 2023 by beating Aston Villa.

With Spurs' habit of conceding first, they will feel they have a chance but Kane's prowess suggests a home victory will be in the offing. Fortunately for Antonio Conte's side they have the irrepressible Harry Kane, who has scored in his last three league matches to take his tally to 13 for the season. However, Spurs have got into a habit of making life tough for themselves, conceding first in their last six games in the league.

Aston Villa: After starting Villa's match against Liverpool on the bench, Emi Martinez is expected to start following his World Cup win, improving the defense for Emery. The game will come too soon for Rodrigo Bentancur and Richarlison who are still nursing injuries picked up during the World Cup but Heung Min-Son, Harry Kane, and Dejan Kulusevski should be enough to secure a result in the match. In four matches in charge, Emery's only league loss has come at the hands of Liverpool with Villa defeating Manchester United in his debut. Pick: Tottenham 3, Aston Villa 1. Conceding the first goal in six consecutive matches, Antonio Conte needs Spurs' defense to focus more but Aston Villa's results have improved since appointing Unai Emery at the start of November.

“The fact that they’re sticking to this transfer policy is almost admitting that it’s a temporary thing with Conte. With the Italian’s future up in the air, a conflicting stance over recruitment is far from ideal. That said, not every signing they have made since he came to the club has been with his blessing. He will have his ideas for how they can strengthen the team in January. The Italian tactician is not accustomed to staying in one job for a long-term project.

Tottenham host Aston Villa in the Premier League on New Year's Day, so we simulated the clash to predict the score as Spurs look for three points.

Spurs were pegged back on two occasions, but some Harry Kane magic dragged the Lilywhites out of danger to earn a vital three points. Some tiki-taka football in and around the Villa box saw Spurs drag defenders in and create space on either wing, and once again, Perisic was found in acres of space out on the left. Dejan Kulusevski squared the ball to Kane, and his shot on goal took a wicked deflection off the heel of Boubacar Kamara to fizz past the 'keeper and into the bottom corner. It was frustrating for Spurs as the visitors scored twice in five shots, but a stroke of luck saw Spurs regain the lead with 15 minutes remaining. Heung-Min Son looked sharp as he stung the gloves of Emiliano Martinez with a long-range effort early on, and he managed to get on the scoresheet after nine minutes to make it 1-0. An overlapping run down the left saw Hojbjerg find Ivan Perisic in space, with the Croatian carrying the ball to the byline.

Tottenham head coach Conte has been chasing the Spain international right-back for a while now, and the former Chelsea and Inter Milan boss expects Levy to get a deal done for him by the end of this week. The report has claimed that Tottenham are close to completing a £35 million deal with Sporting for the transfer of right-back Porro in January.

If Porro does arrive, the chances of Conte penning fresh terms will also increase, per the report. In the current campaign he’s notched two goals and 10 assists from just 21 matches across all competitions. The Italian has called for financial backing in the market and a £35m outlay for a problem position is exactly what he craves. Porro developed into an ultra-threatening wing-back during that initial stint. However, the Star claim Spurs are close to completing a deal for the slightly reduced sum of £35m. Tottenham are ‘close to completing’ their first January signing to the tune of £35m, and the arrival could have a major say on the futures of Antonio Conte and two current stars, per reports.

Tottenham v Aston Villa: Premier League – live (The Guardian)

Minute-by-minute report: Will Tottenham start 2023 with victory over Aston Villa? Join Will Unwin to find out.

We have, in theory, a re-run of the World Cup final with Hugo Lloris in one goal and Emi Martinez down the other end trying to control his urge to sexualise his goalkeeper gloves. It is a nice idea but at some point he will regress, so he should just cut back on the sugar or something. It is a big game, we are going to stick to our game plan. I would argue Villa have the better pre-match jacket but I am open to persuasion. “Even before World Cup it became clear Arsenal will finish ahead and to be honest, it hurts but it is what it is. Watkins and Bissouma go for the same ball on the edge of the Villa box. 16 mins: Doherty chests down a crossfield pass but runs straight into Digne, causing the Spurs man to go down. A ball is played over for Perisic to latch onto; he forces Olsen out of his net and crosses to Kane at the back post to nod at the goalkeeper-less goal, only for Young to dive to his right to head clear. 20 mins: Son runs back and makes a tackle after losing the ball. Romero is back (and in the book). 49 mins: It is all Spurs in the opening few minutes. They seem quite happy to let Spurs have possession and pass the ball side to side.
