Last season’s Europa League winners welcome La Liga opposition to north London, fresh off the back of a confidence-boosting 3-0 win over ten-man West Ham, courtesy of goals from Pape Matar Sarr, Micky van de Ven, and Lucas Bergvall.
It left Spurs third in the Premier League, behind only Liverpool and Arsenal – a far departure from last season’s dismal domestic form.
Villarreal, meanwhile, journey up from Spain with just two wins in their first four La Liga outings of the year.
Clean sheet victories over Real Oviedo and Girona opened the campaign, before a pair of away defeats to Celta Vigo and Atletico Madrid brought them crashing unceremoniously back down to Earth.
Tajon Buchanan will be one to watch for the visitors. The Canadian has already notched three La Liga goals this campaign, fewer only than Kylian Mbappe, who has scored four.
