Who will win? RadioTimes.com says…

Villa have spent a staggering £130m on new players this summer in a focused attempt to stay well clear of the relegation zone.

Yet there is a worry the players may take time to settle between themselves.

That's not to say they will end up like Fulham, who spent big last summer and never got the team to gel as they slid towards an inevitable relegation. But Villa fans will be hoping their new-look side get into gear fast.

Saturday's game is not the easiest starts for Villa. After all, Spurs have a new man in Tanguy Ndombele sitting in midfield at the cost of £54m.

What is almost more crucial for Spurs than transfers is the fact most of their players did not compete in energy-sapping summer tournaments such as the World Cup or Euros.

They should be fresher than they were last season, where Pochettino's men reached the Champions League final and held their own in the Premier League.

Tottenham should win this Premier League opener but expect Villa to score.

Prediction: Tottenham 3-1 Aston Villa
