Tottenham team news

Ange Postecoglou may not be relishing the visit of Aston Villa given that his squad has been decimated by injuries and suspensions. The Tottenham boss could have as many as eight players sidelined for the visit of Emery's side.

Two players missing through suspension are Cristian Romero following his red card against Chelsea and Yves Bissouma after the midfielder accumulated five yellow cards against Wolves. Destiny Udogie will return from his one-match ban against Villa, but remains a fitness doubt after withdrawing from the Italy squad.

Two of Spurs' most influential absentees are James Maddison and Micky van de Ven, both of whom were substituted against Chelsea and are expected to be missing until the new year.

Ivan Perisic, Ryan Sessegnon, Richarlison and Manor Solomon will also be missing with long-term injuries.

Tottenham predicted lineup vs Aston Villa

Tottenham predicted lineup (4-3-3): Vicario; Porro, Dier, Davies, Udogie; Sarr, Hojbjerg, Bentancur; Kulusevski, Son, Johnson.

Emiliano Buendia and Tyrone Mings remain sidelined for Emery with long-term knee injuries that will keep them out for the majority of the season, while Jacob Ramsey is unlikely to feature against Spurs after sustaining a foot injury before the international break.

Matty Cash should start at right-back despite withdrawing from the Poland squad with a minor knock, while Diego Carlos is also expected to overcome the injury he suffered in the Europa Conference League prior to the international break.

Aston Villa captain John McGinn should be fit for the visit to north London despite an injury scare against Norway on international duty with Scotland.

Aston Villa predicted lineup vs Tottenham

Aston Villa predicted lineup (4-4-2): Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne; McGinn, Luiz, Kamara, Zaniolo; Diaby, Watkins.

Tottenham vs Aston Villa score prediction

Both teams have shown their quality throughout the opening third of the season, especially in attacking areas. However, they have also shown some inconsistencies and defensive frailties, meaning this game should have plenty of goals.

Tottenham's long list of absentees makes it difficult to know what you're going to get from the Lilywhites, as was demonstrated against Wolves before the international break. Villa could take advantage, but it's likely to be a tight and high-octane affair.

Prediction: Tottenham 2-2 Aston Villa

The best Premier League players who have not qualified for Euro 2024

Image
There were plenty of players celebrating their international successes as Euro 2024 qualification drew to a close, but for some there was nothing to smile about. 21 nations have already secured their spot at next summer's continental tournament, with all the European big-hitters having booked their plane tickets to Germany. Three more nations will seal their places through the play-offs that commence next March. However, for some it is well and truly the end of the line, including several of the Premier League's top stars. Here are the best Premier League players who definitely won't be at Euro 2024. Alexander Isak Sweden fluffed their lines in qualifying / Michael Campanella/GettyImages It truly was a dismal qualification campaign for Sweden. The 1992 bronze medallists barely put up a fight in Group F, unable to match the quality and consistency of top two Belgium and Austria, and even stumbled to a 3-0 defeat away from home against ten-man Azerbaijan.

Russia claims 'neo-Nazis' were at wake for Ukrainian soldier

Russia’s U.N. ambassador is alleging that “neo-Nazis” and military-age men were at the wake for a Ukrainian soldier in a village café where a missile last week killed 52 people UNITED NATIONS -- Russia’s U.N. ambassador alleged Monday that “neo-Nazis” and military-age men were at the wake for a Ukrainian soldier in a village café where a missile last week killed 52 people, even as Security Council members retorted that Russia was responsible for starting the war and committing crimes. Vassily Nebenzia told a U.N. Security Council meeting called by Ukraine that the soldier was “a high-ranking Ukrainian nationalist,” with “a lot of neo-Nazi accomplices attending.” In Thursday’s strike by a Russian Iskander ballistic missile, the village of Hroza in the northeastern Kharkiv region, lost over 15% of its 300 population. The café, which had reopened for the wake, was obliterated, and whole families perished. Albania’s U.N. Ambassador Ferit Hoxha, this month’s council president who presided a...

Newcastle 2-3 Man City: Player ratings as De Bruyne saves the day from the bench

Image
Manchester City had Kevin De Bruyne to thank as the Belgian made an immediate impact off the bench to salvage a 3-2 win over Newcastle United on Saturday. City lost goalkeeper Ederson to injury inside the opening minutes but bounced back and took the lead through Bernardo Silva, but Newcastle roared ahead with two goals in quick succession from Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon towards the end of the first half. With City struggling in their quest for an equaliser, Pep Guardiola turned to De Bruyne, who needed just five touches of the ball to score, and in the dying embers of the game, it was the Belgian's stunning pass which sent Oscar Bobb through on goal to tap home a late winner. How the game unfolded Newcastle had the ball in the back of the net inside two minutes. Alexander Isak squared for Sean Longstaff to tap home but the offside flag quickly halted celebrations and a VAR check confirmed the Swede had gone too soon. Kyle Walker's attempts to block the shot, which would...
