Tottenham and Aston Villa will go head-to-head in the Premier League at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday afternoon as both teams look to continue their good form.
Thomas Frank’s side earned an impressive 2-1 win over Leeds United last time out, while Unai Emery’s side have won their last four in a row in all competitions, including a 2-1 win over Burnley in the top-flight in their last game.
Both sides have some injury concerns to deal with, and this is how GIVEMESPORT expects the teams to line up.
Tottenham Team News
Spurs are likely to be without striker Dominic Solanke for this game once again after he underwent minor ankle surgery before the international break, while James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski remain long-term absentees with knee injuries.
Radu Dragusin is closing in on a return after his ACL issue suffered last year, but Yves Bissouma is unlikely to be fit after being stretchered off on international duty. Randal Kolo Muani and Kota Takai are back in training and could feature, but Ben Davies is likely to miss out.

Frank Drops Team News Update
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Frank shared an update on his squad ahead of the game.
“Kolo Muani has trained for two weeks with the team – he looks better and better – and he’s in contention for the weekend.
“Dom [Solanke]’s progressed well post-surgery, he’s moving forwards.
“He looks better and better. When he first came, he still needed a bit to get to a higher level. That’s not to say he can’t play a part tomorrow, but he needs time to get back up there.”
“Bissouma unfortunately had a situation with the national team and has a ligament issue in his ankle so he’ll be out for a few weeks.
“We all have an idea in our heads what the strongest team is with everyone available but I have to create the strongest team with what players are available now.”

Aston Villa Team News
Villa will be hoping to have striker Ollie Watkins available after his goal for England in the break, after he injured himself crashing into the post and was forced to miss the game against Latvia as a result.
Youri Tielemans, Andres Garcia and Tyrone Mings all missed the win over Burnley but could return for this clash, while Emi Buendia was forced off in that game.

Emery Drops Team News Update
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Emery shared an update on his squad ahead of the game.
“Tomorrow we will train again, and normally he [Watkins] will be ready for Sunday.
“Both of them [Buendia and Sancho] are training normally the whole week, and they will be available for Sunday if they are training well tomorrow.
“He’s [Mings] getting better, progressively. He’s training this week individually to add to us. Tomorrow we will see how he is.
“The idea tomorrow is for him to train with the team and, after the training session, to decide if he will travel with us or not to London.”
