Tottenham\u2019s march in the right direction sees them travel to Aston Villa on Sunday and surely any result other than a win will be a disappointment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chance\nto put pressure on the top four is there and according to the pairs head to\nhead stats, there is plenty of reason to expect Jose Mourinho to be wearing a\nsmile come the full-time whistle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head to\nhead<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Look away\nnow Villa fans as this will not make for pleasant reading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Villans\nhave only won one of the last eighteen meetings between the two. That victory\ncame in April 2015 on Tottenham\u2019s home soil with Christian Benteke nabbing the\nonly goal of the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then,\nSpurs have won all four encounters including winning 2-0 on their last trip to\nVilla Park in March 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, to\nplease Lilywhite fans even more, you have to go all the way back to January\n2008 for the last time Dean Smith\u2019s men registered a win against Tottenham on\nhome soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the pair\u2019s entire history, Villa has claimed 56 wins over Spurs whilst Tottenham has won 73 times with a total of 35 draws across all competitions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recent form<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aston Villa<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to\nVilla\u2019s defeat to Bournemouth, the club had won two and drawn. One of those wins\nwas against Leicester in the semi-final of the league Cup though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a\ntotal of 14 defeats to their name this season, the Villans sit just one-point\nabove the drop zone and in serious relegation trouble. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tottenham<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mourinho\nappears to have steadied the White Hart Lane ship since arriving last year. A six-game\nunbeaten run in all competitions is proof that including the superb win over\nManchester City. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However,\nthree of those six were FA Cup games with Spurs heading into this one with one\ndraw and two Premier League victories to their name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final thought<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According\nto the head to heads and recent form, Tottenham should get the job done on\nSunday and see no reason why you wouldn\u2019t back the Lilywhites for the three-points.\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
