Team News:
Tottenham have a much stronger squad after their late transfer activity but how they will line up is not clear. Kyle Walker-Peters looks most likely to fill Kieran Trippier’s vacated right-back spot, though a retooled Moussa Sissoko in the role is not out of the question. Dele Alli is out with a hamstring injury. For big spenders Aston Villa the team could be anything, but a spine of Tom Heaton, Tyrone Mings, John McGinn and Wesley looks likely.
