Prediction: 2-1
Tottenham
Buoyed by back-to-back wins over Fulham and Bournemouth, Aston Villa will look to climb to the Champions League berth when they welcome Tottenham to their Villa Park on Friday evening. The Villans are determined to secure a top-five finish and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Spurs on Matchday 37. Experienced midfielder John McGinn is pushing for a start, while both Youri Tielemans and Marcus Rashford are sidelined with injuries. Jacob Ramsey serves a one-game ban.
The capital club, on the other hand, suffered yet another disappointing defeat at the weekend, with the team losing to fellow London club Crystal Palace at home. With Ange Postecoglou’s men being with one eye on the Europa League final against Manchester United, there is a big value in betting on the in-form Villans. All Dane Scarlett, Lucas Bergvall, Radu Dragusin, and James Maddison are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Player (Youri Tielemans):
Youri Tielemans is a product of Anderlecht football academy. The prolific midfielder was born on May 7, 1997 in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw and he is regarded as one of the most talented Belgian players. Tielemans signed his first professional contract with Anderlecht at the age of 16 and in 2013 he made his first-team debut for the club.
The Belgian starlet came as a substitute in a 3-2 loss to Lokeren in the national championship. Youri Tielemans was making progress week by week and he quickly established himself as a first-team regular. The 176-cm-tall footballer scored 26 goals in 139 appearances in the league for Anderlecht and in 2017 he signed a five-year deal with Ligue 1 side Monaco.
Tielemans joined les Rouges et Blancs for a fee of around €25 million. Speaking of his international career, the Monaco midfielder made his senior debut for Belgium in a 1-1 draw with Netherlands (9.9.2016.). He came as a substitute ten minutes before the final whistle, replacing Steven Defour.
Highlighted Team (Tottenham):
Tottenham Hotspur are a professional football club based in North London. Spurs host their rivals at White Hart Lane and the capacity of the stadium is 36,284. Tottenham won the Premier League (First Division) trophy in 1950/1951 and 1960/1961 and despite producing terrific displays in the 2015/2016 campaign Mauro Pochettino’s team eventually finished the season in third place in the standings.
Tottenham’s bitter rivals are Arsenal, but Chelsea and West Ham United are regarded as the team’s fierce opponents as well. Spurs have won eight FA Cup trophies, with the team also lifting the 1962/1963 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title.
Tottenham Hotspur hammered Atletico Madrid in the final of the competition back then (5-1). The likes of David Ginola, Sol Campbell, Teddy Sheringham, Jurgen Klinsmann, Gary Lineker, Luka Modric, Robbie Keane and Gareth Bale are star players that used to play for the White Hart Lane outfit in the past. The colour of Tottenham Hotspur’s home kit is white.
