Preview: The 37th Round of the Premier League (3)

Aston Villa vs. Tottenham Hotspur

Aston Villa have won seven of their previous eight Premier League matches, with only Newcastle having accumulated more points than Villa during this period. Villa's 1-0 victory over Bournemouth last Saturday means they will participate in the European League for the third consecutive season. This is a truly remarkable achievement, and it also proves that head coach Unai Emery can withstand the pressure of participating in a large number of matches and maintain a sufficiently high level.

Villa are now full of confidence because in the match against Bournemouth, their excellent defense and determination to strive for a European competition qualification at the end of the season enabled them to win the game.

Villa have their best defensive record since the beginning of March and they are very likely to defeat Spur this Friday night. Spur still have the more crucial Europa League final to prepare for. They hope to have more time before the Europa League final next Wednesday, but they failed to change the game time as they wished.

Therefore, Spur is likely to give most of their key players a rest, and this is precisely a crucial moment that Villa need to firmly grasp.
