Predicted Tottenham starting XI v Aston Villa | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to bounce back to winning ways when they face Aston Villa in the fourth round of the FA Cup at Villa Park.

Spurs lost 4-0 against Liverpool in the previous game at Anfield in the Carabao Cup.

Tottenham have no extra bodies coming back from injury. Richarlison picked up a calf problem in the previous game making it 11 Tottenham players unavailable on Sunday.

Dane Scarlett is cup-tied and he is unavailable for the match. At least, 11 players are unavailable for Spurs for this game, so Ange Postecoglou cannot make a raft of changes.

Mathys Tel made his debut in the previous game against Liverpool, and the young striker should make his first start against Aston Villa.

Pedro Porro and Lucas Bergvall should also start for Spurs.

In goal, Antonin Kinsky should continue. Guglielmo Vicario is close to returning to the side but the game may have come too soon for him.

In defence, Pedro Porro is expected to start. The Spaniard came on after the break against Liverpool in the previous game, and Postecoglou needs him in the starting line-up.

In the absence of both Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero, Postecoglou has limited options with him. Archie Gray could be given a rest, which means Kevin Danso and Ben Davies should partner at centre-back.

Djed Spence is arguably one of the most in-form players in the side, and Postecoglou needs him to continue his impressive form.

Rodrigo Bentancur needs to do better after his poor performance against the Reds. Yves Bissouma is likely to retain his place, but Pape Matar Sarr could be dropped. Lucas Bergvall is likely to replace the 22-year-old midfielder.

Tel is likely to make his first start for his new club. Dejan Kulusevski and Son Heung-min should also retain their spots in the side.
