There were contrasting fortunes for the two teams in midweek as Spurs bypassed eight-time Carabao Cup winners Manchester City to advance into the quarter-finals of the competition.
A rotated Villa outfit, meanwhile, were beaten by Crystal Palace 2-1 on home soil.
Unai Emery, though, has bigger fish to fry and his team have made an excellent start to building on their fourth-place Premier League finish from last season.
They currently sit fourth and are five points better off than Sunday’s hosts in the table.
Tottenham’s laughable inconsistency and inability to claim points away from home means they enter this game in eighth.
They were dire last weekend at Crystal Palace, but their form at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has been impressive this season and a performance akin to what they produced on Wednesday should see them earn a much-needed Premier League triumph this weekend.
