Defeat at West Ham and a disappointing home draw against Arsenal were followed by a Europa League hammering at the hands of Borussia Dortmund.
Back in the Premier League now, Spurs need to win.
Fortunately for them, their opposition is the weakest that the division can provide, Aston Villa.
The Villans are rock-bottom, eight points from the next club on the ladder and seemingly all but relegated already.
Tottenham have the opportunity to get back to their best against a vastly inferior opponent.
Team News
In more good news for Spurs, they have a virtually full-strength squad for this fixture.
