Andre Villas-Boas wary of Aston Villa threat

Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas has warned his players to be wary of Aston Villa when the sides meet in the Premier League today Sunday.

Spurs travel to Villa Park on the back of a surprise 3-0 defeat at home to West Ham United last time out.

Despite wanting his players to bounce back this weekend, Villas-Boas is aware that Villa can cause an another upset.

"We have been successful recently over there but it doesn't mean that you will be again, football changes very quickly," he told the club's official website.

"It's always difficult to play against Villa, a great, great stadium with lots of pressure.

"We are aware of their strengths and hopefully the team can respond in the right manner."

Tottenham can climb up to fifth place in the Premier League table with a win against Villa.
