Following their Champions League heartbreak, Tottenham prepare for another season which they begin with a home clash against the returning Aston Villa.
For the first time in nine years, Tottenham will kick start their campaign with a home game.
If that wasn’t enough good news for Spurs fans, they must also remember that their side has a terrific record against the Villains.
Dean Smith’s side have won just one of their last 17 competitive meetings with the London outfit. This came all the way back in 2015 when Cristian Benteke’s goal sealed a 1-0 win.
Another striker worthy of a mention is Harry Kane. The forward has scored four goals in five Premier League games against Villa.
Tottenham looked sensational for majority of last season however, they did suffer a dip in form towards the end and ended the season in fourth place. Aston Villa, on the other hand, had to book their spot in the top tier via the dreaded play-offs.
Looking at this game from a betting perspective, there is one profitable bet. A Harry Kane goal and a home win is a double that has landed on numerous occasions last term – who says it cannot land again?
