Aston Villa vs Tottenham Hotspur – Match preview and team news

Tottenham Hotspur

Roberto De Zerbi faces a significant selection crisis with several key players ruled out. Dominic Solanke is unavailable after sustaining a hamstring injury at Molineux. Xavi Simons joins him on the sidelines following a devastating ACL tear. Guglielmo Vicario, Cristian Romero, and Mohammed Kudus remain major absentees for the visitors. However, Destiny Udogie is expected to return to the matchday squad.

Form

Aston Villa

Villa have won 11 of their 17 home league matches this campaign. They are looking to win three consecutive home games for the first time since January. However, Emery’s men have won only two of their last seven Premier League fixtures. They suffered as many defeats in that span as in their previous twenty-four matches.

Tottenham Hotspur

Spurs ended a painful fifteen-match winless run with a 1–0 victory over Wolves last weekend. They could record successive league wins for the first time since the opening two games. Roberto De Zerbi has improved the side’s pressing metrics since his recent arrival. Furthermore, they have collected twenty-three of their thirty-four points on rival territory this season.

Predicted lineups

Aston Villa Predicted XI: Martínez; Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne; Tielemans, Bogarde, McGinn; Rogers, Buendía, Watkins.

Tottenham Predicted XI: Kinsky; Porro, Danso, van de Ven, Spence; Bissouma, Bentancur, Gallagher; Muani, Tel, Richarlison.
