Hopefully villa get the job done on Sunday and we can relax a bit on monday
The other side is they’ve lost 2 in a row without scoring and Sunderland could have been a draw or loss I think he’ll want to play them into form and what would be easier then dismantling poor old spurs
Hopefully... It could depend on how Brighton perform against Newcastle. Emery has made it clear the league comes first but they also have an 8 points cushion over 6th place. If Newcastle beat Brighton I think villa can be certain of champions league football and might want his team fresh for next Thursday. Ideally Brighton beat Newcastle and Emery will play a strong line up against spurs a) to ensure they win and b) they get a bit of confidence. At which point a drab 0-0 plays out
