Aston Villa vs Tottenham Hotspur – Predicted lineup and team news

Aston Villa vs Tottenham Hotspur – Predicted lineup and team news Aston Villa aim to finalise their Champions League qualification when they host Tottenham at Villa Park on Sunday. Unai Emery has been superb at juggling European and domestic duties throughout this season. Villa have won 9 of 12 league matches immediately after a Europa League fixture.

They currently hold a seven-point lead over sixth-placed Brentford in the table. A victory today would guarantee their place in Europe’s elite competition next term. Aston Villa team news Amadou Onana is definitely ruled out for Sunday’s visit of the North London side.

The Belgian midfielder underwent a scan after his early withdrawal against Nottingham Forest. Emery confirmed his absence during Friday’s press briefing at Bodymoor Heath. The manager described the situation as difficult for the squad’s midfield depth.

Boubacar Kamara joins Onana on the sidelines with a long-term injury. That said, Ross Barkley and Alysson are back in contention for the starting lineup. Both players were ineligible for the Europa League squad on Thursday night.
