Tottenham Hotspur XI vs Aston Villa – Predicted lineup and team news
Tottenham Hotspur XI vs Aston Villa – Predicted lineup and team news Tottenham Hotspur travel to Villa Park on Sunday, knowing anything less than three points threatens their top-flight status. Roberto De Zerbi’s men sit 18th in the Premier League and trail safety by two points. Spurs finally ended a fifteen-match winless run with a gritty 1–0 victory over Wolves last weekend.
They now seek successive league wins for the first time since the opening two matches. They have got a real opportunity to leapfrog their closest relegation rivals, 17th-placed West Ham, who were well beaten by Brentford on Saturday. However, a daunting injury list continues to hamper the Italian manager’s tactical plans.
Tottenham Hotspur team news Dominic Solanke is a confirmed absentee after suffering a hamstring injury at Molineux. The striker was forced off in the first half against Wolves last weekend. De Zerbi remains unsure if the forward will feature again this season.
His absence leaves a significant hole in the visitors’ attacking line. Xavi Simons faces a long road back following a devastating ACL tear. He joins major absentees like Romero, Kudus, and Kulusevski on the sidelines.
Guglielmo Vicario also remains unavailable following recent surgery on a hernia. The Italian manager must rely on his fringe players during this critical period. Destiny Udogie provides a rare piece of positive news for the travelling fans.
