How Tottenham Hotspur could line up against Aston Villa

How Tottenham could line up against Aston Villa

Tottenham Hotspur manager Nuno Espirito Santo has no new injury concerns to work around for Sunday's Premier League visit of Aston Villa.

The Lilywhites are expected to remain without Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring) and Steven Bergwijn (ankle) until after the international break but came through their 5-1 thrashing of NS Mura in midweek unscathed.

Sergio Reguilon may be the only man to hold his place in defence from Thursday's win, with Emerson Royal, Eric Dier, Davinson Sanchez and Hugo Lloris all returning to the fold.

Giovani Lo Celso caught the eye with his midweek display and will hope to be granted a start in midfield alongside Dele Alli and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, with Oliver Skipp and Tanguy Ndombele making do with spots on the bench.

Bryan Gil played 60 minutes of Spurs' Conference League win before being hooked for Lucas Moura, with the Brazilian surely in line to start on the right as Son Heung-min occupies the left flank.

Harry Kane took all of 29 minutes to score a hat-trick from his introduction in midweek, and the England skipper will now aim to end his alarming goal drought in the Premier League, which currently stands at five matches.

Tottenham possible starting lineup: Lloris; Emerson, Sanchez, Dier, Reguilon; Hojbjerg, Lo Celso, Alli; Lucas, Kane, Son
