THE LOWDOWN
TOTTENHAM
Former Premier League-leaders Tottenham went into the international break on a huge downer as, after losing their first league game of the season to Chelsea, they followed that up with an agonising late defeat at the hands of Wolves.
An early Brennan Johnson goal looked to have secured the points against Wolves, but Gary O'Neil's men had other ideas as first Pablo Sarabia and then Mario Lemina found the net in injury-time to leave the travelling Spurs fans distraught.
ASTON VILLA
Unai Emery will be delighted with his side's standing in the table and overall they have lost just once in their last nine games in all competitions, with their eight wins in the Premier League bettered only by reigning champions Man City.
The only slight concern will be their away form as they have won just one of their last four Premier League away games, with their last two league trips seeing them draw with Wolves and lose to Nottingham Forest.
THE TEAM NEWS
TOTTENHAM
Ange Postecoglou's absentee list is still incredibly lengthy but he does at least have Destiny Udogie back from suspension, and the Spurs boss has confirmed the left-back is also free of injury after coming through training.
Yves Bissouma joins Cristian Romero on the suspension list, while Pape Matar Sarr is a doubt after returning from international duty with a small issue.
PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Vicario; Porro, Dier, Davies, Udogie; Hojbjerg, Lo Celso, Bentancur; Kulusevski, Son, Johnson
UNAVAILABLE: Whiteman (Injured), Romero (Suspended), Van de Ven (Injured), Phillips (Injured), Sessegnon (Injured), Perisic (Injured), Bissouma (Suspended), Maddison (Injured), Solomon (Injured), Richarlison (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Sarr (Injured)
ASTON VILLA
There are minor concerns over Emiliano Martinez, Diego Carlos, John McGinn, Nicolo Zaniolo and Leon Bailey, but judging by Unai Emery's comments in the press conference, all are likely to be available.
Tyrone Mings, Jacob Ramsey and Emi Buendia have been definitively ruled out, while Matty Cash - who was withdrawn from international duty with a shoulder problem - has trained and is thought to be fine, although details on the full-back were not forthcoming.
PREDICTED XI (4-4-2): Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne; McGinn, Kamara, Luiz, Zaniolo; Diaby, Watkins
UNAVAILABLE: Mings (Injured), Ramsey (Injured), Buendia (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Martinez (Injured), Carlos (Injured), Cash (Injured), McGinn (Injured), Zaniolo (Injured), Bailey (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
This could be a fascinating contest between two sides who play with a high defensive line, and that could lead to an entertaining contest featuring goals at both ends. Tottenham will be determined to bounce back after successive defeats before the break, while Aston Villa are aiming to entrench themselves in the European places, which sets this up to potentially be the game of the weekend.
