Tottenham HotspurWe can confirm the starting line-ups and substitutes for our Premier League fixture against Aston Vila on Sunday (2pm UK).
Back at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the first time this month, Thomas Frank makes one change to the team that started the 2-1 win at Leeds United prior to the recent international break.
That single swap sees Djed Spence restored to the starting side in place of Destiny Udogie who misses out this afternoon.
