Victor Lindelof relishing 'tough' Tottenham test as Aston Villa look to reignite Premier League campaign

Aston Villa defender Victor Lindelof is relishing Saturday's trip to face Tottenham Hotspur, insisting the squad remain confident despite a modest points return in the opening weeks of the season. The Sweden international believes the rising expectations around the club can spur them on to claim a vital victory in north London.

Lindelof insists he is ready for a tough game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium , even though Villa sit 19th in the table with just one point from four matches. The Swedish defender is determined to ignite a turnaround against a Spurs side that is also struggling, currently sitting in 17th place with only two points. His confidence is backed up by fond memories from last season, when Villa won both of their away trips to Spurs in the Premier League and the FA Cup.
