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

        The Scout: After review, no assist is awarded for Kroupi Junior's first goal against Crystal Palace. The contact from Antoine Semenyo was recorded as an inadvertent touch that does not directly lead to the goal

            Seems to me like that's in relation to the 1st goal. I think Semenyo's assist points were awarded for the 2nd.

            Subjective?

            Fantasy assists are awarded to the player from the goal scoring team who last touches the ball before their teammate who scores the goal.The final touch can be a pass, an inadvertent touch, or a shot.

              for an inadvertent touch though it must lead directly to the goal, after the ball hit semenyo it took a nick off a palace player before reaching Kroupi. but to the point i am just confused abit about what constitutes and inadvertent touch and just a normal touch
