Tottenham Hotspur Goal Drought: Could Spurs Fire Blanks in Their Next Two Premier League Games?
Tottenham Hotspur have already started their Premier League campaign under mounting pressure, with Roberto De Zerbi still searching for his first league goal as Spurs boss. After a historically poor attacking start, William Hill now offer two markets that reflect the growing concern around Spurs’ lack of cutting edge:

Tottenham’s Goal Drought: The Numbers Behind the Market
Take Part in Final One Standing with William Hill
Tottenham’s attacking struggles have become the early-season story. Despite heavy summer investment and a new tactical identity under De Zerbi, Spurs have yet to score a Premier League goal this season — the first time in their 144‑year history they’ve opened a league campaign with four straight blanks.
Their underlying numbers paint the same picture:
- Spurs have created chances but lack composure in the final third
- Their xG has consistently underperformed
- Confidence in front of goal is visibly low
With pressure building and frustration growing among supporters, Spurs now face two opponents who can punish any hesitation.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston Villa
Unai Emery’s side haven’t been watertight defensively this season, Villa have conceded goals, but they’re still extremely well‑drilled, aggressive in duels, and tactically sharp — exactly the type of opponent Spurs have struggled against.
Historically, Spurs have scored in nine of their last ten home games against Aston Villa but that’s all in the past, given how toothless they look in attack, they could easily fire another blank in this one.
Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur
Manchester United have conceded goals this season, yet Spurs have only scored in four of their last four visits to Old Trafford in the Premier League and as the pressure mounts on this Tottenham side, it’s likely that’ll really start to show in these big games.
