The previous result for this game was 2-2. Tottenham stand 9th in the table, with Aston Villa 11th. Both forms for these teams have been weak, and the last 5 encounters with these teams have been closely contested.

Tottenham goalkeeper Eleanor Heeps has signed a new contract with the club until 2028, which will help out the team considering Becky Spencer’s emergency loan to Chelsea. Other than this there hasn’t been much recent news considering the season is coming to an end. Key players to look out for include: Bethany England, with 7 goals and Eveliina Summanen with 2 goals and 2 assists throughout 14 games.

Now onto Aston Villa, Ebony Salmon is a key player to watch out for with her great skill and relentless drive, along with also scoring a goal this season. Another player to keep your eye on is central defender Anna Patten, her abilities with the ball are brilliant and is a great player overall. As the season is almost finished, there's not a lot of major news for Aston Villa, but we do know they will be trying their hardest to claim a win to avoid relegation.

In conclusion, this game and what tactics are used will be interesting to watch along with what impact both sides will make considering the end of the 24/25 season is near.
