(Photo by Catherine Ivill - AMA/Getty Images) | Getty Images Tottenham Hotspur finally have a win in 2026; and with West Ham’s loss to Brentford earlier in the weekend, Spurs’ chances of avoiding relegation are somehow once more within their own… boots? Their only obstacle (for this week at least): Aston Villa. Villa and Spurs are at opposite ends of the table, with the Birmingham club in fifth. On paper, it seems a tough ask for a Spurs side that has floundered all season; but there’s some additional context to this matchup.
