Tottenham Hotspur XI vs Aston Villa: Confirmed team news and line-ups – Kolo Muani returns

The Tottenham Hotspur team that will face Aston Villa in the Premier League this afternoon has been announced.

The North Londoners headed into the international break on a high following Tottenham’s 2-1 win against Leeds United, which was their first win before an international fixture in almost two years.

Tottenham have only lost five of their 19 post-international break fixtures which is an encouraging sign for Thomas Frank’s side.

After failing to win any of their opening five league games this season, Villa are a side in form, having won their last four fixtures in all competitions.

What is the Tottenham team vs Aston Villa?

Dominic Solanke has not yet returned to full first-team training after ankle surgery and remains unavailable.

This is the Tottenham team which takes to the field in N17 this afternoon:

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Vicario; Pedro Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence; Palhinha, Bentancur; Kudus, Xavi Simons, Tel; Odobert.

Subs: Kinsky, Danso, Byfeld, Sarr, Gray, Bergvall, Richarlison, Johnson, Kolo Muani

Aston Villa XI: Martínez; Cash, Konsa, Pau Torres, Digne; Kamara, Onana; Malen, McGinn, Rogers; Guessand.

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

Tottenham head into today’s match currently fifth in the Premier League table, where victory over Villa would take them back up to second place ahead of Liverpool’s clash against Manchester United.

For those wondering how to watch Tottenham vs Aston Villa, in the UK, the match will be televised live on Sky Sports.

Tottenham’s next five fixtures

Tottenham have a difficult run of fixtures ahead of them with matches set to come thick and fast.

A trip to Monaco awaits on Wednesday evening as Spurs look to return to winning ways in the Champions League following the disappointing 2-2 draw at Bodo/Glimt on match day two.

First of all, however, full focus must be on Villa, who have won on two of the last three visits to Tottenham in the league, but have not beaten a top-half team since the start of the campaign
