Tottenham team confirmed vs Aston Villa – Son Heung-min returns with James Maddison on bench

Ange Postecoglou has named his Tottenham Hotspur side to face Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday.

Spurs will be looking to follow up their 2-1 victory against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup in midweek in another tough game against Unai Emery’s side at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Going into the game, Postecoglou had some injury concerns with Micky van de Ven out due to a hamstring strain along with Wilson Odobert, with Timo Werner and Cristian Romero also coming off during the match against City.

The Tottenham boss does have captain Son Heung-min back in action though and the South Korean star lines up alongside Dominic Solanke and Brennan Johnson in the attack.

In the midfield, Postecoglou has gone for a trio of Pape Matar Sarr, following his goal against City, as well as Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski with the midfield that started against Pep Guardiola’s men getting another chance to impress. That means a place on the bench again for James Maddison.

Radu Dragusin retains his place with Van de Ven out alongside Cristian Romero.

Here is the Tottenham team Postecoglou has selected: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Dragusin, Udogie; Sarr, Bentancur, Kulusevski; Johnson, Solanke, Son. Subs: Forster, Davies, Gray, Bissouma, Bergvall, Maddison, Werner, Moore, Richarlison.
