Follow all the action from Villa Park
Follow live coverage as Aston Villa face Tottenham Hotspur today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.

Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

Last time out, Ange Postecoglou’s ailing side lost 2-0 at home to Villa’s FA Cup conquerors Crystal Palace, while they have taken just one point from their last five league road trips.

In fact, Unai Emery’s men are unbeaten in 20 games at Villa Park, where they also knocked Spurs out of this season’s FA Cup.
