Tottenham, having a strong start to the season, won nine out of ten Premier League games and scored an average of two goals per game. However, two consecutive defeats before the international break have dropped them to fourth place. Injuries and suspensions have contributed to this decline, but Ange Postecoglou may have used the international break to get some players fit.

Aston Villa have started their 2023/24 English top-flight campaign with 25 points from 12 games, aiming for Champions League football. However, they have struggled on the road, failing to win four of six away games, which will give coach Unai Emery a lot of work ahead of their upcoming match against Manchester City.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou will be without Micky van de Ven and James Maddison due to injury, along with long-term absentees Ivan Perisic, Manor Solomon, and Ryan Sessegnon due to cruciate ligament, meniscus, and knee injuries. Cristian Romero will serve his second three-match ban for a red card against Chelsea, and Yves Bissouma will miss the game against Aston Villa due to five yellow cards.

Tyrone Mings is out with a knee injury since the season’s opening game against Newcastle United. Emiliano Buendia is also in Villa’s treatment room due to a cruciate ligament rupture. Diego Carlos, Kortney Hause, and Jacob Ramsey are doubtful. Ollie Watkins, who has scored six goals and five assists, is expected to lead the line, while Leon Bailey is aiming for a starting position.

Goalkeeper: Guglielmo Vicario
