Tottenham Hotspur will be hoping to snap a three-game losing streak in the Premier League as they host Aston Villa on Sunday.
After getting off to a promising start to the new campaign with three back-to-back wins, Spurs' campaign took a sharp U-turn. They've lost three in the league since their last win, which came against Watford in August.
They suffered successive 3-0 losses to Crystal Palace and Chelsea before falling 3-1 to arch-rivals Arsenal last weekend. A 5-1 win over NS Mura in the Champions League in midweek would have boosted their confidence slightly. Harry Kane scored a hat-trick and Tottenham fans will be hoping that he has hit his stride again.
But in Aston Villa, Spurs have an opposition that's shown a lot of promise in recent weeks. The last thing that Nuno Espirito Santo and his men will want is to go on the upcoming international break on the back of four consecutive defeats. They will be desperate for a win here.
Aston Villa fashioned a sensational win over Manchester United at Old Trafford last weekend. It could so easily have been a draw but Dean Smith's men did just about enough to beat the Red Devils at home thanks to a Kortney Hause strike in the 88th minute.
Villa are currently eighth in the Premier League table with 10 points after six matches. Tottenham Hotspur, on the other hand, are 11th with nine points and a goal difference of -5.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston Villa Prediction
Tottenham Hotspur have looked devoid of ideas in the final third in recent weeks. They were completely outplayed in the first half by Arsenal last weekend. While the 5-1 win against NS Mura in the Champions League would be a morale booster, Aston Villa are going to be an entirely different proposition.
Dean Smith's men are on the right track and took the game to Manchester United last weekend. They are playing well and will know that this is a great chance for them to register three back-to-back wins.
