Tottenham share important travel information ahead of Aston Villa clash

Tottenham are back in action on home soil this weekend when they take on Aston Villa in the Premier League.

Spurs were held 1-1 by Wolves in their most recent match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 27 September.

Aston Villa will provide tough opposition for Tottenham, who are seven games without defeat in all competitions.

Another sell-out is expected in North London, but Spurs have shared an announcement that all those attending the fixture will have to pay attention to.

A number of services cancelled or disrupted on Sunday

There are various ways of getting to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but that is assuming there is no disruption.

Unfortunately for those attending this weekend’s match, a number of services have either been cancelled or disrupted.

As per the announcement on Tottenham’s official website on Wednesday, Northumberland Park station will be closed on Sunday.

Greater Anglia service users will have to use Tottenham Hale, with those services substantially reduced as only two train per hour will run between Liverpool Street and Waltham Cross.

No Greater Anglia services will operate north of Waltham Cross, meanwhile, with rail replacement bus services in operation towards Hertford East and Stanstead Airport.

There will also be rail replacement bus services between Edmonton Green and Cheshunt.

Where do Tottenham rank among highest average attendances?

Fresh on the back of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium being packed out for the NFL, it will be a similar story when Villa visit this weekend.

Spurs have averaged 60,955 fans for home league matches this season, which is the third-highest in the Premier League.

West Ham, by virtue of having a slightly bigger stadium, sit second on that list with 62,459.

Manchester United top the list with an average of 73,965 home fans for their league matches this season.

That means Spurs attract more home fans than Liverpool (60,371), Arsenal (60,155) and Manchester City (52,249).

Let’s hope the disruption does not prove too troublesome for those Spurs fans attending this latest league fixture.
