Tottenham Hotspur host Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon. The North Londoners are aiming to claw back precious points in the top-four race, after an inconsistent start to the season.
Progress to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals increased confidence in midweek, as goals from Timo Werner and Pape Matar Sarr eliminated Manchester City.
Spurs have won eight of their last 10 games across all competitions, though defeats to Brighton and Crystal Palace in their last three Premier League games leaves them 10th.
Aston Villa exceeded expectations to secure a top-four finish last season and can climb to third with a win in the capital. Unai Emery’s men have won on their last two visits to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Tottenham vs Aston Villa – Predicted lineup and team news
Tottenham team news
Spurs will be without Micky van de Ven until after November’s international break after he sustained a hamstring injury in midweek. Ange Postecoglou has played down the severity of the Dutch defender’s issue but Van de Ven will play no part of the club’s next three fixtures. Van de Ven’s absence will hand an opportunity to Radu Dragusin, who has struggled for regular first-team football since his arrival from Genoa.
“Every time he’s out there I can see improvement. He’s really embracing the way we play.”
Ange 🔛 Radu…
