  • Villa’s summer acquisitions include striker Zépiqueno Redmond and keeper Marco Bizot; they retain a solid core featuring Ollie Watkins, who recently became their all‑time Premier League goalscorer (75 goals)

  • Tottenham Hotspur, despite winning the 2025 Europa League, ended the previous league season in 17th place—their lowest top-flight finish ever (38 points).
