Is Aston Villa vs Tottenham on TV today? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Premier League fixture

Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa have lost their last three league games

Tottenham Hotspur are aiming to maintain their momentum in the top-four race when they travel to Aston Villa in the Premier League this afternoon.

Antonio Conte’s side surged to an emphatic 5-1 victory over Newcastle last weekend before Arsenal stumbled to a 3-0 defeat at Crystal Palace.

That left Spurs in fourth place, level on points with Arsenal and with a superior goal difference. Mikel Arteta’s side do still have one game in hand, though, meaning Tottenham cannot afford any slip-ups.

Villa come into the fixture on a disappointing run of form, having lost their last three league games in succession.
