Paul Merson and Chris Sutton disagree on Aston Villa vs Tottenham prediction amid top four chase

Tottenham are looking to keep their slim hopes of a top four finish this season alive as they make the trip to the Midlands to face Aston Villa. Spurs currently sit six points behind Manchester United in fourth, having played one game extra, making for an unlikely return to the Champions League.

The side would likely have to win all three of their remaining fixtures, hopeful that both Manchester United and Liverpool don't earn a few wins in their final matches. Given the inconsistency of all the sides chasing fourth though, it's not impossible and Ryan Mason will be hopeful his side can at least keep their rivals honest and leave the season on a high note.

Villa had top four ambitions of their own at one point, but now sit eighth, though they could drag Tottenham into an uncomfortable fight for Europe in general. The Villains are three points behind the Lilywhites and a win for them could put the cat amongst the pigeons.
