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

    Unless Bruno does something truly remarkable, I really should have taken my 8 point hit for Bruno + Gyok > Saka + Mateta.... Damn it, played too cautious

      Would just stick now as Bruno + Gyok could be the ones in the points next week.

      There was no way you were close to doing it considering Mateta has Arsenal next and Bournemouth at home was a middling fixture for a misfiring Mateta.

        That(ish) and the minus points is why I didn't do it. Had it all lined up on the FPL website and everything lol. But it'll all be worth it if Bruno hauls. Come on lad!

      James has to survive a CL game. Neither are close to changing in price, so what's the upside in doing it now?

        Never mind, just do it right now. The upside is that the fine folks in here won't have to read this question 5 more times today.

    Bench boost really is the worst chip, never fails to disappoint. Even more annoying this season, when I would have played it GW1 for 25 pts if not for Palmer being a doubt. At least it’s out of the way

      It's the only chip that has serious downside, which is that it affects your decisions because you are trying to keep not just one or two decent subs, but at least 3. This year we have Dubrav, which makes it slightly easier, but usually, it's even worse. Get rid ASAP is my opinion.
