Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 181

Spurs wins: 80

Draws: 36

Tottenham Hotspur have locked horns with Aston Villa 181 times over the years, and it is the Lilywhites that lead the way in this fixture having won 80 of their clashes, while the Lions have come out on top on 65 different occasions.

Since the turn of the century, Villa have won 17 of their 53 meetings with the Londoners - succumbing to defeat on 26 occasions - though the Lions have triumphed in nine of their last 12 across all competitions against Spurs, suffering losses in the other three fixtures in that time.

Tottenham have won three of their past six Premier League matches against the West Midlands side, with boss Ange Postecoglou overseeing a dominant 4-1 victory at home in November 2024.

Villa boss Unai Emery managed to exact revenge in the FA Cup four months later, winning 2-1 thanks to strikes from Morgan Rogers and Jacob Ramsey, the latter of whom netted in the first minute.

Emery would also lead his team to a 2-0 victory at Villa Park in May 2025, before coming from behind to down Thomas Frank's Tottenham 2-1 in October, overturning Rodrigo Bentancur's early opener courtesy of two excellent strikes from outside the box from Rogers and Emiliano Buendia.

Most recently, Roberto De Zerbi's difficult start to life at Tottenham continued as Spurs suffered a 3-2 defeat to Aston Villa at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in late September 2026, leaving them without a win heading into the three-week international break.

Villa finally secured their first victory of the 2026-27 campaign, with goals from Johan Manzambi, Nicolas Jackson and Emiliano Buendia proving enough to withstand a late Spurs fightback and claim all three points.

At least three goals have been scored in eight of the clubs' last nine matchups, with Spurs scoring four goals in two of those outings.

In terms of winning runs, Tottenham managed to beat the Lions 4-0 at Villa Park in their Premier League visit to the stadium in March 2024, having triumphed in eight of their prior nine trips to the ground.

Remarkably, there has not been a single draw between Tottenham and Villa in 23 Premier League meetings - the joint-second longest streak of any top-flight fixture - as the two sides last shared the spoils all the way back in May 2012, when Ciaran Clark and Emmanuel Adebayor were on target for their respective teams.

The North London giants also lead the way in terms of individual scorers in this head-to-head - no player has managed more than Bobby Smith's 12 for Spurs against Villa, while former Tottenham captain Son Heung-min is not too far behind with seven.
