The most recent Aston Villa news as Unai Emery’s team prepares to face Tottenham Hotspur in their Premier League return on Sunday afternoon.
Ben Davies, a defender for Tottenham, made a suggestion that his team might not play as high a line against Aston Villa as they did against Chelsea.
Spurs were reduced to nine men in the second half of their 4-1 loss to Chelsea at the beginning of the month, in a thrilling match. Even with fewer players, Ange Postecoglou’s team persisted in using a high backline.
Since joining Villa just over a year ago, Unai Emery has employed this strategy. There have been predictions for a goal fest at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium following the meeting of the two teams.
Postecoglou responded to his tactics with defiance after the Chelsea match. “It is just who we are, mate, it is who we are and who we will be for as long as I am here,” he said to Sky Sports.
However, it appears as though Davies has tempered expectations that the high defensive line will be utilized to the same extent as it did at Stamford Bridge. The left-back clarified that the approach was influenced by the game’s circumstances.
“We weren’t aiming to accomplish that,” he stated to the Daily Mail. However, you’ll try anything when you have nine men, and for a while, that was effective.
All you do is look for a method to prevail. The higher up you are, the more opportunities you have.
Wolves lost 2-1 before the international break despite a late comeback after their defeat to Chelsea. Villa is aware that a victory will allow them to overtake their rivals in the standings, but the defender has issued a warning before the match.
“People get excited when you wobble when you’re doing well because they want to see how you respond,” he continued. There are still a ton of games available, and it is our responsibility to fix them.
“We’re sure we can pull that off. We should be there or thereabouts if we concentrate on the next game.
