Aston Villa Recent Form: Last 5
Tottenham Recent Form: Last 5
Key Factors
Tottenham Injury Crisis: Spurs are decimated, missing key starters Vicario, Romero, Solanke, and Xavi Simons, severely weakening both their defensive spine and attacking outlet.
Villa Rotation Risk: Unai Emery is expected to rotate heavily (likely starting Bogarde, Sancho, and Barkley) as they prioritize the Europa League semi-final second leg against Nottingham Forest on Thursday.
Tactical Matchup: Roberto De Zerbi's high-pressing 3-2-5 attacking shape vs. Emery's vertical 4-2-2-2; on a slick, rain-soaked Villa Park pitch, Villa's ability to exploit the space behind Spurs' backup defenders will be decisive.
Injuries & Absentees
Aston Villa are missing Amadou Onana (calf) and Boubacar Kamara (long-term), which thins their midfield. However, Tottenham's list is catastrophic: Vicario (GK), Romero (Suspended), Solanke (Hamstring), Xavi Simons (ACL), Kudus, and Kulusevski are all out. Spurs will likely start backup keeper Kinsky and a makeshift backline including Kevin Danso and Micky van de Ven without their usual leadership.
