In November, Unai Emery’s team triumphed 2-1 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. When the season was almost over, it looked like a pipe dream that Villa would be competing for Champions League spots. But, that is precisely how things have turned out, and Spurs might have some influence in it.
Paul Merson, the former player for Arsenal, believes that if Aston Villa defeats Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, the Lilywhites’ chances of making the playoffs will be almost eliminated.
With Manchester United experiencing two consecutive defeats before their recent win over Everton, thereby losing ground in the race for fourth place, the competition for the final guaranteed Champions League spot appears to be between Villa and Spurs – the two lock horns at Villa Park on Sunday afternoon.
“This will be an entertaining game of football,” Merson said in his Sportskeeda blog. “Both teams play such a high line and have a bunch of talented attacking players.” Villa has the potential to end the top-four battle if they triumph, which is very amazing.
The legendary Arsenal player went on to forecast a two-all draw for this game, among many other goals.
For the Villans, finishing in the Champions League spots at the end of the season would be a tremendous accomplishment. Recent incredible tales, like Leicester City winning the Premier League, serve as a reminder that the English top flight is extremely competitive, even though this tale isn’t similar to the Foxes’.
