TEAM FORM (All competitions)
Villa – WWLLL ---------- Spurs - WLWWW
We will be bidding to make it four Premier League victories in a row when we head to Villa Park on Saturday evening to take on Villa. We are currently fourth in the table, level on points with fifth-placed Arsenal in the race for a top-four spot, while Villa occupy 11th position, one point behind 10th-placed Leicester City.
Villa have won 11, drawn three and lost 16 of their 30 Premier League matches this season to collect 36 points, which has left them in 11th spot in the table heading into the next set of fixtures. Villa are only one point behind ninth-placed Crystal Palace, meaning that a top-half finish is certainly achievable, but they are currently on a three-game losing run in the Premier League, with West Ham United, Arsenal and Wolverhampton Wanderers beating them over the last few weeks.
Villa's last victory came at Leeds United on March 10, and they have struggled for consistency in front of their own supporters this season, picking up just 18 points from their 14 league games at Villa Park. Gerrard's team still have to face Liverpool and Manchester City before the end of the campaign, while they will also have a say in the relegation battle, taking on Norwich City and Burnley (twice).
Villa suffered a 2-1 defeat to us in the reverse match between the two sides in North London back in October, while they have not overcome us at Villa Park in the Premier League since January 2008, with their last three league victories over the capital outfit coming on their travels.
We have had our fair share of problems this season, but we have, somewhat quietly, won six of our last eight Premier League matches to move into fourth spot in the table. We have actually been victorious in five of our last six in the league, including our last three against Brighton & Hove Albion, West Ham United and Newcastle United, scoring 10 times in the process.
A total of 54 points from 30 matches has left us in fourth position in the table, level on points with fifth-placed Arsenal, who have a game in hand, while Manchester United in seventh are just three points behind, and it is set to be a fascinating battle for a top-four finish.
Even Chelsea will now be looking over their shoulders in third, and there is still a lot of football to be played before the end of the campaign; we have some tough matches as well, taking on Leicester, Liverpool and Arsenal in three straight games between April 30 and May 12.
Kane has found his best form in recent weeks after a slow start to the season, and he could yet fire us to a top-four finish.

Team News
Gerrard said during his press conference that Nakamba will come back into the squad this weekend after playing 60 minutes for the Under-23s, while Hause (abdominal) and Digne (illness) are also both available.
Ings is also likely to return for the home side, having missed out against Wolves last time out due to the birth of his child, and the forward could feature alongside Watkins in attack.
Luiz is also expected to return in the middle of the park, potentially replacing Sanson, while Coutinho will feature as the number 10 for the home side on Saturday.
As for us, Tanganga is out for the season following knee surgery, while Sessegnon (thigh) and Skipp (groin) remain unavailable for selection.
Sessegnon is now back in training but unlikely to be a part of the squad for this contest, with Conte remaining cautious over the youngster's return.
We will be boosted by the return of Reguilon from a knee injury, although the Spaniard could find himself on the bench due to the performance of Doherty against Newcastle.
There are not expected to be any surprises in the away side's XI this weekend, with Kane, Son and Kulusevski continuing as the front three in a 3-4-3 formation.
