Aston Villa take on the visitors Tottenham in the round 36 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, May 13th at Villa Park (Birmingham).
Gerrard did a decent job at Aston Villa, but there was no noticeable progress over time. So, it didn't come as a surprise when they decided to part ways with Steven in the fall, even though it wasn't due to a sharp decline in the new Premier League cycle. Moreover, they managed to lure Unai Emery as a replacement for Stevie G. And it must be admitted that the Spaniard is living up to the saying of "one man's loss is another man's gain." Of course, his unsuccessful tenure at Arsenal is still remembered in Britain. However, where there was no such pressure of high expectations, the manager often surpasses them in the early season, starting from the victory against "Manchester United" in the opening match and a 10-match unbeaten streak in February-March (7 wins and 3 draws, including victories against "Chelsea," "Newcastle," and "Fulham"). But after rising to the European qualification zone, Aston Villa, it seems, got scared and suffered 0-1 defeats not only against Man United but also against a less motivated "Wolverhampton."

"Tottenham" showcased their brilliance a year ago. The "Spurs" squeezed the maximum out of the situation when "Arsenal" stumbled in the final stretch. As a result, they managed to secure the 4th place – Conte was on top back then! Overall, the new season started well too. They even made it out of the group stage in the Champions League upon their return. However, the results gradually deteriorated, along with the atmosphere in the dressing room. There were failures such as 0-1 and 0-0 against "AC Milan" (not a defeat but it resulted in an elimination in the round of 16), a home loss to "Sheffield United" in the cup, and after a draw with the underdog "Southampton," the scandalous separation with Antonio ensued. What's worse is that after sacking the Italian, they decided to finish the season under the guidance of his compatriot and assistant, Stellini. In the end, Stellini only won 1 out of 4 matches and was fired after a 1-6 defeat to "Newcastle." With Mason, there was some improvement, particularly in terms of fighting spirit. The London team managed to secure a draw from 0-2 down against "Manchester United" and staged a comeback against "Liverpool," but after scoring three goals, they immediately conceded the decisive goal due to their own mistake. On the other hand, they only managed a single goal against "Crystal Palace," courtesy of Kane. But most importantly, they finally won. These 1-0 victories strengthened their chances of finishing in the European qualification zone.
Last season, the "Spurs" were able to win both matches against "Aston Villa." And now, in January, Unai Emery's team secured a 2-0 victory away. The hosts are considered favorites in this confrontation. However, they have already suffered two 0-1 defeats, and the "Spurs" haven't particularly shined either. We recommend betting on "under 3.0 goals" in total.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
