Tottenham welcome fans back to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the first time since the Qatar World Cup as they host Aston Villa in the Premier League.
Antonio Conte’s men will be hoping to channel the momentum of their second-half Boxing Day comeback against Brentford in order to get back to winning ways. No team has won more points than Spurs after falling behind (14) but those slow starts are undoubtedly going to eat away at their manager.
The race for a Champions League spot has been enhanced with the scintillating form of Newcastle United and Manchester United are just a point behind Tottenham with a game in-hand. It means that the margin for error has reduced.

The Londoners welcome a Villa team in improved spirits under their new manager Unai Emery. The former Arsenal manager registered back-to-back wins before the World Cup but he did see his men come up short in their recent match against Liverpool at Villa Park.
Spurs will still be without Cristian Romero but they should be able to bring Hugo Lloris back into the picture. Emi Martinez is expected to still be missing for Villa while Jacob Ramsey has a thigh injury.
