Tottenham Hotspur have jumped to the fourth spot in the Premier League and will get a chance to solidify the spot on Saturday against an Aston Villa team that has struggled to put points on the board in recent weeks.
The goals have been flowing in Spurs games and there’s a strong chance it continues at Villa Park. Bookmaker 10bet has the odds at 1.86 for over 2.5 goals and at 3.10 for over 3.5 goals.

Tottenham have scored 21 times in their last six league outings and they have won five of the matches. The Antonio Conte project in North London seemed to have been in a dark place on Feb. 23 when Tottenham lost 1-0 to Burnley but things have changed very quickly.
Harry Kane had a big month in March with four goals and two assists in the league, and everybody around him appears to be inspired by his performances. Conte seems to be very impressed by his No. 10 as well, noting ahead of the trip to Villa Park that he believes Kane can become one of the greatest strikers in history.
With one player grabbing almost all of the attention, Tottenham looks like a one-man team, but that’s far from the truth. Kane might be at the heart of things offensively, but Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski have also played a major part in the team’s recent scoring surge.
Kulusevski has had a huge impact on the team looking like a seasoned veteran in the league despite moving to England only in January. The 21-year-old has kicked off his Premier League career in style by getting two goals and five assists in his first eight starts.
Villa have lost three games on the trot and need to put in a rock-solid defensive performance to avoid another defeat. Steven Gerrard impressed during his first couple of months in charge, but things have been rough for the Villans in 2022 and they desperately need a positive result to get a boost in confidence.
If anyone can produce a match-winning moment for the hosts then it should be Philippe Coutinho. The former Liverpool man has quickly racked up four goals and three assists since returning to the Premier League and looks like he’s in a different class compared to his teammates every time he’s out there on the pitch.
Tottenham have scored goals for fun recently but their clean sheet record isn’t too great and it should give Gerrard’s men the belief that they can cool off a red-hot team here and kick into gear again themselves.
