| Aston Villa vs Tottenham: Kickoff Time, Lineups, Score Prediction & Match Preview. |
Aston Villa are set to host Tottenham Hotspur in a crucial Premier League match on Friday night, May 17, 2025, at 1:30 AM WIB at Villa Park, Birmingham. This game is super important for Villa as they fight for a Champions League spot next season.
Aston Villa Update: Full Focus on the Top 4 Battle
Unai Emery’s squad has been in solid form. They're currently 6th in the table, tied on points with teams above and just 3 points behind 3rd-place Newcastle. A win over Spurs could really boost their chances of cracking the top five.
They’ve secured back-to-back 1-0 wins over Fulham and Bournemouth, showing better discipline defensively. Expect Ollie Watkins and Morgan Rogers to lead the charge again, especially against a shaky Tottenham backline.
Tottenham: Eyes on the Europa League Final
Tottenham’s priority seems pretty clear right now—they're gearing up for the Europa League final against Manchester United next week in Bilbao. Sitting 17th in the league with nothing much to fight for, they’ll likely rotate heavily for this match.
Several key players like Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, and Lucas Bergvall are sidelined with injuries. And with the final looming, Ange Postecoglou could rest even more starters.
