Tottenham and Aston Villa have yet to win a Premier League game between them this season and Saturday’s early kick off in North London carries huge importance for both teams.
Spurs arguably have the greater pressure given their summer of heavy investment that has yet to reap rewards. Their biggest issue has come in attack with no goals from their four games.
The picture is slightly different for Villa after enormous change in the off-season that resulted in many of their Europa League-winning squad depart.
It will take time for boss Unai Emery to mould his new squad into a potent XI.
Here, 101 Great Goals brings you all the team news ahead of the 12.30pm kickoff.
