Tottenham Hotspur will lock horns with Aston Villa at Villa Park this Sunday as they hope to secure a win on the road in the Premier League. Spurs managed to earn a narrow 1-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers recently, so they would go into this game with a lot of confidence.
Roberto De Zerbi will opt for the 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make some tweaks to his first team for this game. Richarlison and Mathys Tel would both play from the start of this clash.
4-2-3-1 Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Lineup To Face Aston Villa
Defence
Antonin Kinsky will operate in goal for the North London club after keeping a clean sheet in his last outing. Kevin Danso will function alongside Micky van de Ven at the centre of the Tottenham backline as they look to keep a good shape when defending inside his half.
Pedro Porro will try to impress as the right-back, while Djed Spence looks to prove his value on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will hope to go forward and express themselves inside the Aston Villa half.
Radu Dragusin will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.
Midfield
Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur will operate as the holding midfielders as they focus on establishing their superiority over the opposition at the centre of the park.
The talented trio of Mathys Tel, Conor Gallagher and Randal Kolo Muani will play just ahead of them as part of De Zerbi’s attack. All three of them need to link up play well with each other in the final third if Spurs are to secure maximum points this weekend.
Joao Palhinha will have to be content with a spot on the bench as he will wait for his chance to impress in the second 45 minutes if required.
Attack
Richarlison will spearhead Tottenham’s attack up top. He has to find a way to be a constant menace in the final third.
Dominic Solanke is definitely ruled out for this game. However, James Maddison will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the latter stages if Spurs are in need of a goal.
