Team news, key stats and ways to follow ahead of Aston Villa vs Tottenham on Sunday (kick-off 2pm).
New signing Borja Baston comes into contention for Aston Villa.
Striker Baston, signed late on transfer deadline day from Swansea, is set to replace Keinan Davis on the bench due to the 22-year-old collecting another hamstring injury in a recent Under-23s match.
Manager Dean Smith remains without striker Wesley (knee), midfielder John McGinn (fractured ankle) and goalkeepers Tom Heaton (knee) and Jed Steer (calf).
Tottenham welcome back Steven Bergwijn, Ben Davies and Giovani Lo Celso.
Bergwijn was ineligible for Spurs' FA Cup game with Southampton while Lo Celso (thigh) and Davies (ankle) were unfit.
Erik Lamela (groin) will be assessed, but Harry Kane, Moussa Sissoko and Juan Foyth miss out.

It is needs must in the Premier League for Aston Villa, despite reaching the Carabao Cup final.
If you were to say to Dean Smith this could be the game to keep you in the Premier League, while you would lose the Carabao Cup final, despite being underdogs anyway, I think he would take it. And I think the majority of Villa fans would too.
A trophy is important to breed winners and confidence, and gain the credibility that Villa are back, but we have seen before that teams have won it and have gone down. The global interest is in the Premier League, so they have to go after it.
Meanwhile, Tottenham have not been convincing but are getting the results. They have to go after the top four, especially after the recent signings, chasing the likes of Sheffield United and Chelsea. It will be another cracking game of football here.
CHARLIE PREDICTS: 2-3 (25/1 with Sky Bet)
