Sutton’s predictions: Tottenham v Aston Villa

Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches this season, against a variety of guests.

For week 10, he takes on The Piano TV series winner Brad Kella.

Sutton’s prediction: 2-2

The away team won on both occasions when these two sides met last season, and you could make a case for Tottenham or Aston Villa coming out on top here.

I do like the way Spurs play, but they could do with having Son Heung-min fit. He has missed three of their past four league games – and they have a few other injuries too.

Whoever is missing, though, Ange Postecoglou will not change his bullish approach. I admire that and I find it amazing the way people view Spurs at the moment.

They have won eight of their past 10 games in all competitions, which is pretty good I think, but there is always this underlying ‘Spursy’ or ‘typical Spurs’ label they get given whenever they slip up.

That could happen here, of course. Spurs will dominate the ball this time but I have no doubt that Villa will score, because they carry such a threat and their front players will definitely have their moments in this game.

So there will definitely be plenty of goals… but maybe there won’t be a winner this time.

Tottenham have not had a draw since the first game of the season and I think they will get one here.

Brad’s prediction: 2-0

Aston Villa have started the season really well and Tottenham are very up and down… but I’m giving this one to Spurs.
