Spurs v Aston Villa Team News – Heung-min Son makes starting XI
The team news for Tottenham Hotspur’s match against Aston Villa this afternoon has just been announced. Let’s take a look at the Lilywhites starting XI for this afternoon’s clash.
Tottenham play Aston Villa in the Premier League
Tottenham come into the match on the back of their 2-1 victory over Manchester City in the Carabao Cup, while Villa saw their hopes of winning the same competition ended by Crystal Palace.
Ange Postecoglou’s side will be desperate to bounce back in the league having suffered a disappointing 1-0 loss at Palace which saw them unable to close the gap on those above them in the Premier League table.
Villa pipped Tottenham to fourth place and Champions League football last season and come into today’s fixture five points ahead of their opponents.
What is the Tottenham team vs Aston Villa?
Postecoglou is without the services of Micky van de Ven after the defender suffered a hamstring injury in the midweek win against Man City.
Aston Villa midfielder Ross Barkley is out for a couple of weeks because of a minor injury and is their only absence.
This is who takes to the field at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this afternoon:
Tottenham XI: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Dragusin, Udogie; Sarr, Bentancur, Kulusevski; Johnson, Solanke, Son.
