Aston Villa vs Tottenham live stream: How to watch Premier League game online and on TV, team news

The Aston Villa vs Tottenham live stream is a huge match in the battle for Champions League qualification — and you can watch it live from anywhere with a VPN.   

Aston Villa are just 11 games away from qualifying for the Champions League. The 1982 European Cup winners last played on the continent in 2010, but are less than a dozen matches from securing a spot in Europe’s elite club football competition. Under Unai Emery, Aston Villa have been an ever-present in the Premier League top four this season, and are currently five points clear of the team in fifth place. That team happens to be Tottenham.

This game represents a huge opportunity for Spurs to close the gap on Aston Villa and take a massive step towards achieving their own dreams of Champions League football next season. Tottenham have struggled with inconsistent form this season, thanks in large part to a slew of injuries to key players, but last weekend’s win over Crystal Palace, which saw Spurs score three goals in the final 15 minutes, displayed the team’s dogged determination to win. 

Here's how they line up: 

Aston Villa: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Lenglet, Torres, Digne, McGinn, Luiz, Tielemans, Watkins, Bailey.

Tottenham: Vicario, Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Udogie, Bissouma, Sarr, Kulusevski, Maddison, Johnson, Son.

This match will have huge implications on which of these sides finishes in the Premier League top four this season, it’s a must-win for both teams. Make sure you don’t miss the Aston Villa vs Tottenham live stream, and we’ve got all the details you need below. 

Plus, make sure you don’t miss any of the EPL action by checking out how to watch Premier League live streams.
