Aston Villa v Tottenham Hotspur match preview
Aston Villa’s Totterham team with one-eyed eyes in Wednesday’s Europa League final could lose in the Champions League match.
Friday’s encounter with Chelsea’s clash with Manchester United has sparked controversy in order to prepare Tottenham and Manchester United for the Europa League exhibition in Bilbao next week.
Villa protested the decision, but the decrease in rest after last Saturday’s 1-0 victory at Bournemouth is not expected to have a big impact on the outcome.
Tottenham Hotspur beat the season in its 20th Premier League this Sunday as they were beaten 2-0 by Crystal Palace, while manager Ange Postecoglou focused more on players to avoid reaching the Europa League final with any kind of momentum before a desire to reach the Europa League final, Villa will be widely expected to win hard to win.
For the men at Unai Emery, this must be done.
Villa is at the level of the game with Chelsea, ranking in the top five, which will ensure another season of the Champions League qualifying. They were two points behind Manchester City in fourth place, Newcastle United fell behind in three innings, five-fifths and second in the second game.
The defeat and Chelsea beat Manchester United, coupled with the City win over Bournemouth on Tuesday, will end their qualifying match given their significantly poorer goals with Chelsea, City and Newcastle.
But Emory’s men have been doing well at home all season. They have not lost at Villa Park in the Premier League since their first home game, beating Arsenal 2-0 on August 24.
Tottenham Hotspurs lost four of its last five games to arrest the slide with a 1-1 draw this month, and Postecoglou’s concentration determines what he calls “balanced behavior”, i.e., “balanced behavior”, which means avoiding injuries before the final, but possibly avoiding injuries before the final, which could be the pressure Villa will at least surpass the city and Newcastle.
Aston Villa v Tottenham Hotspur team news
Villa’s creativity around Emery is not fully capable of seeing throughout the season.
Jacob Ramsey was suspended in Bournemouth and was sent away while Marcus Rashford was nursing a hamstring injury.
Youri Tielemans may be able to get him out of Bournemouth due to a muscle injury, so it is likely to miss the rest of the season.
As James Maddison has ruled out this season and Dejan Kulusevski joined him after knee surgery, postecoglou will be in danger of jeopardizing his big hitter ahead of Manchester United’s game.
Sons Heung-Min, Richarlison and Brennan Johnson may all start on the front line, but it is unrealistic to expect the three to play a full 90 minutes.
Lucas Bergvall is still dealing with an ankle injury at Tottenham Midfield, while Postecoglou decides whether to risk Christian Romero and Micky van de Ven Ven in the back.
Aston Villa v Tottenham Hotspur’s lineup is expected
Aston Villa: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne, Kamara, Onana; Rogers, Asensio, McGinn, Watkins
Tottenham: Vicario, Porro, Danso, Davies, Spence, Gray, Bissouma, Sarr, Johnson, Richarlison, Son
