Aston Villa vs. Tottenham Hotspur: Unai Emery's Champions League-chasing side bidding to break club record

Aston Villa will be bidding to break a club record when they square off against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Friday night.

Aston Villa will be bidding to set a new club record when they face Tottenham Hotspur on Friday night.

The West Midlands outfit head into the Premier League contest at Villa Park aware that the game could make or break their Champions League qualification ambitions.

Sitting level on points with fifth-placed Chelsea in the table, Villa kick off 45 minutes earlier than the Blues do against Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.

Having won five of their last six fixtures in the top flight, the West Midlands outfit are the form team in the division ahead of their closing double-header versus Spurs and Man United.

Should Villa extend their outstanding form against the North Londoners, it would see them achieve a new club feat.

What record is at stake?

Emery has overseen a total of 31 victories in all competitions this season, and one more win would see Villa break their all-time record for triumphs in a top-flight season.

Furthermore, Villa head into this contest having put together a 20-match unbeaten streak at their home ground, stretching back to an EFL Cup defeat to Crystal Palace in September.

There have also been seven successive wins in all competitions, emphasising how strong Villa have become at their West Midlands home.

Ollie Watkins is bidding to move further clear at the top of the all-time Villa goalscoring charts in the Premier League having broke the record with his 75th such effort in the win over Bournemouth last weekend.

All is not lost for Spurs

Although Spurs have already lost on away territory to Villa in the FA Cup this season, they have incredibly won eight of the last nine Premier League games to be held at Villa Park.

That said, Ange Postecoglou's side are on the brink of posting an unwanted 15-year streak having gone 11 games without a clean sheet in the top flight. Not since 2010 have they gone 12 matches without doing so.

In sharp contrast to Villa bidding to achieve a club record with regards to wins, Spurs must avoid defeat to not equal their club record for losses in a single top-flight season, that being 25.
