Tottenham Hotspur return to Premier League action this weekend as they host Aston Villa in North London on Sunday afternoon.

And Ben Foster has given his result prediction on the match involving Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs and Unai Emery’s Villans.

The Premier League cult hero, speaking on That’s Football, believes the game has got “a draw written all over it”.

Foster feels a combination of Villa’s struggles on the road, Tottenham’s “massive” injury list and the Spurs home crowd will likely result in a share of the spoils.

“It’s got a draw written all over it,” said Foster.

“Villa not as good as what they are at home, Spurs obviously those injuries are massive. I think the Spurs home crowd will (help)… a draw, yeah.”

Foster’s co-host, Mark Goldbridge, believes Tottenham will fall to a third consecutive Premier League defeat.

“I’m going to go Villa win,” he said. “yeah, I never would do that, it’s like Newcastle v Chelsea because of the injuries.”

Tottenham v Aston Villa preview

Tottenham enjoyed an amazing start to the season, but injuries and suspensions have contributed to Spurs losing their last two matches and slipping to fourth in the table.

The Lilywhites are still without James Maddison and Micky van de Ven, while Cristian Romero and Yves Bissouma are suspended.

Full-back Destiny Udogie has served his one-game suspension, but he’s also an injury doubt ahead of the Villa clash.

Meanwhile, Villa are in great form, currently sitting fifth in the standings and just one point behind Spurs.

They have no fresh injury concerns and could welcome both Jacob Murphy and Diego Carlos back for the game, though it seems unlikely they will play.
