Paul Merson and Mark Lawrenson disagree on Aston Villa vs Tottenham Premier League prediction

Tottenham travel to Aston Villa on Saturday evening looking for their fourth Premier League win in a row as the race for Champions League football enters the home straight. Spurs thrashed Newcastle 5-1 last weekend to move above north London rivals Arsenal into fourth spot.

Antonio Conte’s side appear to be finding form at just the right time after a period of inconsistent results, however, they cannot afford to slip up with the Gunners only below them on goal-difference. And with West Ham and Manchester United still in hot pursuit, the margin for error is virtually non-existent if Spurs are to achieve their first top four finish since 2018/19 season.

Meanwhile, Villa are on a dreadful run having lost their last three games in a row. But despite Steven Gerrard’s side having little to play for with relegation not a concern and Europe unattainable, the pundits have disagreed on the outcome of the result.
