ASTON VILLA v TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR
THE POWER PREVIEW
Paddy Power, 28 Nov 2009
Aston Villa v Tottenham
The Villa fans won't be getting their money back after this game.
Their
team
has conceded only five league goals at home this season as Dunne has
formed
solid partnerships with both Collins and Cuellar and there's unlikely to
be too
many goals in this for Tottenham.

The good news for Spurs fans is that
Defoe's goal
glut could set him off on one of his hot-streaks and he's a very likely
11/2 to
open the scoring.
If Aston Villa do concede, they won't capitulate like
Wigan
and with Spurs' midfield still not being quite as good without Modric,
the home
side can take control of the middle of the park and prevent Defoe and
whoever
Redknapp partners with him from seeing too much of the ball.
Lennon will
need
to be contained but he could also leave space in behind for Young and
Agbonlahor to expose with their pace.
7/5 is a tasty price for a side
which has
won four from six at home and 2-1 to Aston Villa at 15/2 has a nice ring
to it.
Win 9-1 and then lose the next game? It wouldn't be like Spurs to be
inconsistent would it?
