Aston Villa travel to Tottenham on Saturday aiming to build on their first league win of the season. Unai Emery's side moved off the bottom of the Premier League with a 3-1 victory at Coventry last weekend but remain 19th with just one point from four games.
Tammy Abraham scored twice in that win at the Coventry Building Society Arena, with Ross Barkley also on target. The result ended a run of three league games without a win and provided a timely boost ahead of the trip to north London. Villa's last meeting with Tottenham ended in a 2-1 victory at Villa Park back in January.
Tottenham have struggled for consistency themselves, sitting just two places above Villa in 17th. Their last outing was a 3-1 defeat at Liverpool. Villa's recent form shows two wins, a draw and two losses from their last five matches across all competitions.
Emery is expected to stick with a similar side to the one that started at Coventry. That lineup featured Mark Bizot in goal behind a back four of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Tyrone Mings and Matteo Ruggeri. The midfield trio of Lamare Bogarde, Barkley and John McGinn provided the platform for attackers Ibrahim Mbaye, George Hemmings and Abraham.

The match kicks off at 11:30 UTC on Saturday 19 September at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
