Emery previews Tottenham trip ahead of Saturday lunchtime kick-off

Unai Emery has addressed the media through Aston Villa's official channels ahead of Saturday's Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur. The club published the manager's pre-match thoughts on Thursday as preparations continue for the weekend fixture.

Villa travel to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a 12:30 UK time kick-off. The match follows Wednesday evening's League Cup victory over Coventry City, where Emery's side secured a 3-1 win at the Coventry Building Society Arena.

No further detail from the manager's briefing was available beyond the club's announcement of the session. Emery will take his squad to north London looking to build on their recent cup success when the Premier League action resumes this weekend.
