📈 Tottenham v Aston Villa Form & Stats

Tottenham seem to enter into a new crisis every week, with Thomas Frank’s side losing again away at Bournemouth last time out. It was one of Tottenham’s better performances in recent weeks, but they still failed to come out on the right side of the result, which is becoming an unwanted pattern for Frank.

Following the game, Tottenham captain Cristian Romero took a swipe at the Tottenham ownership and hierarchy, perhaps indicating that the issues at Tottenham stretch far deeper than just the performances on the pitch. Thomas Frank was also in the headlines following that game for drinking from an Arsenal branded cup, sealing what was an embarrassing night for Spurs.

Aston Villa drew 0-0 with Crystal Palace last time out, but put in a strong performance with 15 shots and an xG of 1.74. Unai Emery’s side have been brilliant over the last few months, losing just one of their last 14 matches across all competitions - though they have been outperforming nearly all of their underlying metrics in this period, so it’ll be interesting to see how long they can sustain this momentum.

Villa’s away form will be particularly troubling to the hosts here, who have already lost to Villa at home this season. Unai Emery’s side have avoided defeat in eight of their 11 away matches in the Premier League this season - only losing at Anfield, the Gtech and the Emirates.

📔 Tottenham v Aston Villa Formation & Team News

Frank has tinkered with a variety of different shapes and structures to get the most out of this Tottenham side, but it still feels a little like square pegs in round holes. The role of Randal Kolo Muani is a good example of this, he led the line against Bournemouth last time out, but for much of the season has been deployed on the left wing, which has been awkward viewing.

Muani isn’t the only example of Frank trying to move players around to fit his system, Lucas Bergvall has been pushed forward into a more advanced role - while the likes of Simons and Tel are seen as wide players. It’s clear that Frank is currently missing a creative outlet, Simons could be this player, but his role on either wing means that he is less able to impact the game.

Aston Villa will continue to line up in their 4-2-3-1 shape, which becomes more of a 4-2-2-2 when Villa are in possession. Unai Emery likes his wingers to come in narrow, which allows the fullbacks to push up and hold the width. The aim of this structure is to overload central areas, and have multiple players that are central and within shooting range.

Villa are outperforming their xG by seven goals in the Premier League this season, the second biggest overperformance in the league, behind Tottenham (+10). These underlying numbers indicate that both sides are relying a little too much on individual quality to get their goals, instead of a system of chance creation which would be more sustainable.
