  1. Tottenham 0-0 Aston Villa

    Another huge clearance by Zion Suzuki and this time it finds Nicolas Jackson who looks to skip past Micky van de Ven and go through on goal.

    However, he fouls the Spurs skipper and it's a free-kick to the home side.

  2. Tottenham 0-0 Aston Villa

    I think it's dangerous at Premier League level to overplay, which is one of Spurs' problems.

    It looks great for De Zerbi if it works, but if it doesn't...

  3. Tottenham 0-0 Aston Villa

    Now ironic cheers from the home fans as Villa keeper Zion Suzuki leathers the ball out of play while under pressure.

  4. Tottenham 0-0 Aston Villa

    Lively start by Spurs and it's no coincidence that the returning Pedro Porro is at the heart of their best moves.

  5. Tottenham 0-0 Aston Villa

    Decent ball by Pedro Porro who spots the run of Dominic Solanke and Victor Lindelof has to take swift action inside his own box.

    Corner to the home side. Encouraging by Spurs.

    I see a lot of people making digs at Spurs spending, ironically they are the same people who have been taking digs for years about them not spending! What is it about this little club that drives everyone so mad with what they do?

    There’s a Villa squad “gelling” and then there’s being realistic and accepting Jackson isn’t as good as Watkins, Harwood-Bellis as Konsa, Gomes as Tielemans, Manzambi and Suzuki for all their potential aren’t as good as Rogers and Martinez now.

    Alex, Northern Ireland

    Spurs fans can see the slight progress week on week and back De Zerbi long term . As ever it is a media narrative suggesting he will be sacked or leave as can be seen by the pundits on here.

  7. Tottenham 0-0 Villa

    One Spurs attack so far which ended with Zion Suzuki making a confident claim under his bar.

  8. Tottenham 0-0 Aston Villa

    Steven Gerrard
    Former Aston Villa manager on TNT Sports

    This Tottenham team are at home, I expect them to perform. Villa have come here with slightly less pressure. Villa will want a quiet 20 minutes.

  9. Tottenham 0-0 Aston Villa

    Great noise from the travelling Villa fans.

    Many of those in north London will be at the Nou Camp on 3 November when Villa face Barcelona in the Champions League.

    Despite their poor start to the league season, these are exciting times for Villa.

  10. KICK-OFF

    Tottenham 0-0 Aston Villa

    It's the 2025 Europa League winners against the 2026 Europa League winners.

    Under way.

  11. Tottenham v Aston Villa (12:30 BST)

    Ally McCoist
    Former Scotland striker on TNT Sports

    Goals will be at the top of their minds. Both teams have had a disappointing start and something has to give.

  12. 'Excuses are running out for Spurs'

    Phil Jagielka
    Former England defender on Premier League Kick-Off

    If Spurs lose then it's going to be a long three weeks with the international break coming up.

    You would have expected them to be at least mid-table and to have scored a goal.

    On paper the squad does look better but there is obviously something that's not working.

    The excuses are running out.

  13. Tottenham v Aston Villa (12:30 BST)

    Out come the teams...

  14. Tottenham v Aston Villa (12:30 BST)

    'Glory, Glory, Tottenham Hotspur' booms from the speakers as the players line up in the tunnel.

    Stu Smith: Quite frankly I’m not surprised both these clubs have had poor starts. Villa sold all their best players and what they have bought in are going to take time to gel. For Spurs, they just overspent and not really improved their squad much.

  16. Tottenham v Aston Villa (12:30 BST)

    Tottenham Hotspur

    Right, we're minutes from kick-off and the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is filling.

    A wonderful ground, go-kart track, concert venue, rugby and boxing facility.

    Just not great at football right now.

  17. 'Something needs to happen'

    Tottenham v Aston Villa (12:30 BST)

    Former Newcastle midfielder on Premier League Kick-Off

    This is the weekend when something needs to gel and click for Tottenham.

  18. Tottenham v Aston Villa (12:30 BST)

    Aston Villa

    Aston Villa's £50m summer signing Johan Manzambi (20 years and 340 days) is the youngest Swiss player to make their first Premier League start since Southampton's Alexandre Jankewitz (19 years and 39 days) in February 2021, who was sent off within two minutes against Manchester United.

    The Joneses: Both clubs are coming at this from different angles. Villa lost half their team including the majority of their most influential players so have had to reinvest and try to gel players together, several of whom have been suffering from injuries. Spurs were able to just throw over £300m loose change at their problems. Spurs are favourites for me today as Emery needs more time for everyone to settle.

  20. 'No one loses at Tottenham - apart from Tottenham!'

    If Aston Villa lose at Tottenham then they will look at that as a massive loss because no one loses at Tottenham - apart from Tottenham!
