Tottenham Hotspur face Aston Villa in the first of two Premier League matches to take place this Sunday.

Kick-off in north London is at 14:00 BST.

TEAM NEWS

Thomas Frank makes just one change to his Spurs side, with Djed Spence coming in for Destiny Udogie at left-back.

The Italian is absent from the matchday squad.

Further forward, Mathys Tel impressed in the Gameweek 7 win over Leeds United and keeps his place, so Richarlison is once again on the bench.

Randal Kolo Muani is also named among the substitutes.

Aston Villa bring in the fit-again Amadou Onana and Evann Guessand for the benched Lamare Bogarde and Ollie Watkins, who picked up an injury while on international duty with England.

Tyrone Mings is not fit enough to be part of the squad.

*There has been a late change to the Spurs starting XI, with Cristian Romero injured in the warm-up. He is replaced by Kevin Danso.

LINE-UPS

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Vicario, Porro, Danso, van de Ven, Spence, Bentancur, Palhinha, Kudus, Simons, Odobert, Tel

Subs: Kinsky, Richarlison, Gray, Bergvall, Johnson, Sarr, Kolo Muani, Byfield

Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Pau, Digne, Onana, Kamara, Guessand, McGinn, Rogers, Malen

Subs: Bizot, Maatsen, Lindelof, Barkley, Watkins, Sancho, Buendia, Elliott, Bogarde

    I will consider 4 points from Xavi a haul.
    Was all set on moving him out for enzo before the injury rumors, and rolled the FT.

    Their defenders are still cheap, all priced 0.5m lower at the start of the game than what they should have been. No clean sheets are annoying but still some attacking threat and DC points too.

    Funny! They thought Postecoglou could lead them to glory so they sacked the one they had who developed the team.

    So is the Aussie, Ange Postecoglou now the fastest manager to be sacked in PL or is it Tony Pulis? 😆

      Sam Allardyce holds the unwanted record of the shortest reign as manager at a Premier League club on his own, spending 30 days at Leeds United in May and June 2023.

        He didn’t get sacked though iirc, he was just on a short-term deal. Ange’s record is much more embarrassing.

    Postecoglou's sacking yesterday was the quickest ever after the end of a game .
    Sadly that record won't last for long as Man Utd will break the record today by sacking Amorim after today's battering .by Liverpool.
