Is Aston Villa vs Tottenham on TV today? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Premier League fixture

PA Wire

Tottenham Hotspur are aiming to maintain their momentum in the top-four race when they travel to Aston Villa in the Premier League this afternoon.

Antonio Conte’s side surged to an emphatic 5-1 victory over Newcastle last weekend before Arsenal stumbled to a 3-0 defeat at Crystal Palace.

That left Spurs in fourth place, level on points with Arsenal and with a superior goal difference. Mikel Arteta’s side do still have one game in hand, though, meaning Tottenham cannot afford any slip-ups.

Villa come into the fixture on a disappointing run of form, having lost their last three league games in succession.

Here is everything you need to know:

When is it and what time is kick-off?

The match will get underway at 5.30pm BST on Saturday 9 April.

How can I watch it online and on TV?

The match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League.
