Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 175
Spurs wins: 79
Draws: 36
Aston Villa wins: 60
An intriguing battle that has now taken place on 175 occasions in all competitions, Tottenham Hotspur hold a slight edge over Aston Villa in the victories column, beating the Lions 79 times while being trumped on 60 occasions themselves.
Spurs' most recent success over the West Midlands side was an incredibly emphatic one, as they conceded first in November 2024 before hitting back four times in a 4-1 romping at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Several months before that come-from-behind crushing, Spurs rocked up to Villa Park in March 2024 and ran out 4-0 victors, a dominant win that also avenged a streak of losses to the Lions.
Prior to that home humbling, Emery masterminded three successive victories over Tottenham from January to November 2023, starting with a 2-0 win over an Antonio Conte-led team on New Year's Day.
The Lions also conquered Ryan Mason's Spurs 2-1 at home at the end of the 2022-23 season, before travelling to North London in November 2023 and running out winners by an identical scoreline.
That 2-1 loss means that Tottenham have been beaten in three of their last five Premier League home games against Aston Villa, who also earned a 2-1 triumph in the latter stages of the 2020-21 season, when Mason was at the helm again.
Remarkably, there has not been a single draw between Tottenham and Villa in 21 games, as the two sides last shared the spoils all the way back in May 2012, when Ciaran Clark and Emmanuel Adebayor were on target for their respective teams.
Outside of top-flight meetings, Tottenham and Villa also locked horns in the final of the 1970-71 EFL Cup, where a second-half brace from Martin Chivers propelled Spurs to a 2-0 victory.
The North London giants also lead the way in terms of individual scorers in this head-to-head - no player has managed more than Bobby Smith's 12 for Spurs against Villa, while current Tottenham captain Son Heung-min is not too far behind with seven.
