Team News

Tottenham
Aston Villa
  • Tottenham have lost Yves Bissouma to suspension, while Pape Matar Sarr is a doubt, so Rodrigo Bentancur may partner Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg at the base of the midfield.
  • Destiny Udogie has served his suspension and while he did withdraw from the Italy squad, the left-back is fit to feature here.
  • Ange Postecoglou is without no fewer than eight players due to injury with Micky van de Ven and James Maddison among those sidelined for the home side.
  • Giovani Lo Celso may come into the starting XI.
  • Tyrone Mings, Emiliano Buendia and Jacob Ramsey are confirmed absentees for Villa.
  • Diego Carlos will be assessed though was unlikely to have started regardless.
  • Unai Emery may go with the same XI that started the home win over Fulham last time out.

Prediction

  • Back-to-back defeats has seen Tottenham fall away at the top of the Premier League table, though they remain just two points off top spot and will look to capitalise on Manchester City's welcome of Liverpool on Saturday. Spurs have won only one of their last three home league meetings with Aston Villa.
  • The Villans sit one point and one place behind Spurs heading into the weekend's action. However, while Unai Emery's side do have the joint-best home record in the division, their away form is sub-par.
  • Spurs' absences will impact them on home turf but given Villa's underwhelming performances on the road this season, a draw is likely.

  • LLL such form

  • @eastend1 Rent Free In Your Head

  • man of the match: Cash

  • @Jaffe148 Whose cash? Daniel Levy's or? :D

  • Great savings Dibu as usual!! but I don't get it, to me it was a wrong call the goal disallowed to Son, as it was just a rebound on post, then he kicked but had not took part in the previous play.

  • Refs must have bet the under in this one.

  • A bad tackle from Matty Cash.... surprise surprise.

  • After 5 minutes it could be 2-2.

  • Tottenham are playing with 4 fullbacks, 4 wingers, a number 8 and a number 10.

  • Oh Terry Terry, Terry Terry Terry Terry Venables!

  • Playing Bantancur, Lo Celso, and Bryan from the start is a bold move. None have started a league game this season let alone together. High risk, high reward? I doubt even Emery (who has a reputation) as a master planner anticipated this possibility. If Tottenham score first it could unsettle Villa however Tottenham are still likely to be vulnerable late on no matter how far ahead they are. Although Villa have an outstanding record at home, away from home they are more erratic. Tottenham 3-3 Villa

  • Wow! Starting 11: Vicario, Porro, Royal, Davies Udogie, Bentancur, Lo Celso, Kulusevski, Bryan, Son, Johnson. Subs: Forster, Austin, Dorrington, Dier, Skipp, Hojbjerg, Donley, Veliz. I don't many people were expecting that.

  • Every team has to see some fall in a season, I can sense it could be Spurs now. Furthermore, missing and injured players especially the notable defenders are basically adding insult to the injury to the squad now. If the Villas cannot win here they can share the points at least. Also, given Spurs have scored in all the matches this season and Villas have close to 85% success rate scoring a goal at least seems like a goals from both the ends. BTTS + Villa double chance = 2.43

  • @123Football "sense it" ?! Tottenham had already lost two and are missing many key players due to injuries.

  • Villa please

  • @eastend1 love it

  • @eastend1 Proving my point. Sad man.

  • @MEHJones LLL Loser Man City West Ham Newcastle next - see you here. SpudUlike.

  • @eastend1 Tottenham lives in your head rent free.

  • @MEHJones I don't know him, but I highly doubt it. Tottenham don't live in anyone's head rent free. Not even Arsenal fans.

  • @Sputnik The evidence is undeniable to anyone except a moron.

  • Tottenham to win by 1 goal

  • Both teams have scored in 8 of Spurs last 10 matches.

  • 2-2
