Aston Villa's pursuit of a European place has encountered setbacks recently, following two defeats on the road against Manchester United and Wolves. However, they now have the opportunity to bounce back as they return to their home ground, Villa Park, to face Tottenham. A victory for the hosts would bring them level with Tottenham on 57 points, and a significant swing in goal difference could see Aston Villa surpass Spurs in the standings.

While both teams are mathematically out of contention for a Champions League spot, Aston Villa seems to be more optimistic as they approach the final stages of the campaign. In fact, since November, Aston Villa has accumulated the fourth-highest number of points in the league, positioning them 11 points ahead of their opponents on Saturday. This impressive form gives them confidence and a belief that they can finish the season strongly.

Tottenham's season has been eventful, to say the least. The departure of manager Antonio Conte was followed by a brief spell under Cristian Stellini before Ryan Mason took over as caretaker manager. Under Mason's guidance, Tottenham has shown promise in their last three matches. They staged a remarkable comeback from a two-goal deficit against Manchester United to secure a valuable point. Additionally, they fought back from a 3-0 deficit at Anfield, seemingly salvaging a draw before conceding a late goal to leave empty-handed. However, they managed to clinch a win in their most recent game against Crystal Palace. As they hit the road once again, they face an Aston Villa side that, under the management of Emery, has displayed fantastic performances despite their recent away defeats.

The stage is set for an intriguing battle between two teams vying for a strong finish to the season. Aston Villa, driven by their home advantage and the desire to close the gap on Tottenham, will be determined to secure a crucial victory. Meanwhile, Tottenham, under the guidance of Mason, will look to build on their recent positive performances and secure another win on the road. The clash promises to be an exciting spectacle as both teams aim to end their season on a high note.

Unai Emery, the manager of Aston Villa, will have to do without Jed Steer due to an ongoing injury. However, there is a possibility of seeing Matty Cash return to the lineup following his recovery from an injury. After suffering two consecutive defeats on the road against Manchester United and Wolves, Emery is likely to make changes to his starting eleven in search of a positive result.

On the Tottenham side, they continue to be without Rodrigo Bentancur and Ryan Sessegnon due to their respective injuries. Additionally, Hugo Lloris will remain sidelined for the remainder of the season. There is also a concern regarding the fitness of Clement Lenglet, who picked up a shoulder injury in the recent match against Crystal Palace and may not be available for the upcoming fixture.

Considering all these factors and analyzing the situation, it appears that the away side, Tottenham, holds the greater value in this match. Despite Aston Villa's strong performances under Emery, their recent defeats on the road and the potential absence of key players create an opportunity for Tottenham to capitalize and secure a favorable outcome.

阿斯顿维拉对欧洲席位的追求最近遇到了挫折，在客场对阵曼联和狼队的两场失利之后。然而，他们现在有机会反弹，因为他们将回到他们的主场维拉公园，面对热刺。如果东道主获胜，他们将追平热刺的57分，如果净胜球大幅增加，阿斯顿维拉将在积分榜上超过热刺。

虽然这两支球队在数学上都没有争夺欧冠席位，但阿斯顿维拉似乎更乐观，因为他们接近比赛的最后阶段。事实上，自11月以来，阿斯顿维拉已经在联赛中积累了第四高的积分，使他们在周六领先对手11分。这种令人印象深刻的状态给了他们信心和信念，他们可以强势结束这个赛季。

至少可以这么说，热刺的这个赛季是多事的。主教练孔蒂离开后，克里斯蒂安·斯泰利尼在瑞安·梅森接任临时主教练之前短暂执教。在梅森的带领下，热刺在最近三场比赛中展现出了希望。他们在落后曼联两球的情况下上演了一场精彩的逆转，获得了宝贵的一分。此外，他们在安菲尔德0 - 3落后的情况下奋起反击，似乎挽救了一场平局，但在最后时刻失球，空手而归。然而，他们在最近一场对阵水晶宫的比赛中取得了胜利。当他们再次上路的时候，他们面对的是在埃梅里的带领下表现出色的阿斯顿维拉，尽管他们最近在客场失利。

两支球队为争夺赛季的强势结束展开了一场耐人寻味的较量。阿斯顿维拉在主场优势的驱使下，渴望缩小与热刺的差距，将决心确保一场关键的胜利。与此同时，托特纳姆热刺在梅森的带领下，将在他们最近的积极表现的基础上，争取在客场取得另一场胜利。这场比赛注定会是一场激动人心的场面，因为两支球队都希望以高水平结束他们的赛季。

阿斯顿维拉的主教练埃梅里，由于持续的伤病，将不得不失去杰德·斯蒂尔。然而，马蒂·卡什有可能在伤愈后重返首发阵容。在连续两场客场对阵曼联和狼队的比赛中失利后，埃梅里很可能会对他的首发11人进行调整，以寻求一个积极的结果。

在热刺方面，本坦库尔和塞塞尼翁因伤缺阵。此外，雨果·洛里斯将在本赛季剩下的比赛中继续缺阵。同样令人担忧的是克莱门特·朗格莱的健康状况，他在最近与水晶宫的比赛中肩膀受伤，可能无法参加即将到来的比赛。

考虑到所有这些因素并分析形势，看来客场热刺队在这场比赛中具有更大的价值。尽管阿斯顿维拉在埃梅里的带领下表现强劲，但他们最近在客场的失利和关键球员的潜在缺阵给热刺创造了一个机会，可以利用这一机会获得一个有利的结果。
