The Tottenham Hotspur will head to Villa Park to face off against Aston Villa in one of many Premier League matches taking place on Boxing Day.

Before being beaten at Stamford Bridge, Paul Lambert's Spurs managed to remain undefeated in its first five games.

With a record of 9-6-3, the Tottenham club current sits toward the top of the EPL standings while Aston Villa finds themselves more toward the bottom with a 4-8-6 mark.

In its last eight contests against Aston Villa, Tottenham hasn't lost a single matchup. The Villa squad has only been victorious in one of its last seven fixtures at home versus the Spurs. To top it off, the struggling Villa club is currently ranked as the lowest scoring team in the EPL.

Unfortunately for the Villa side, the team will be without the likes of Darren Bent due to a hamstring injury. Gabriel Agbonlahor (thigh), Charles Nzogbia (knee) and captain Ron Vlaar (calf) are all ailing and likely to have each of their fitness levels seriously tested.

For Tottenham, Clint Dempsey is questionable for the matchup after missing the game against Stoke with a groin injury. Younes Kaboul isn't expected to return to the field until January.

On the bright side for the Spurs, Benoit Assou-Ekotto could be back from a knee injury and Scott Parker could potentially come off the bench to make his first start of the season.
