Tottenham want to catch Man City: they face Aston Villa with this starting lineup

Saturday's draw between Manchester City and Liverpool completely changed things in the Premier League. The Citizens and The Reds had the chance to win and become leaders of the standings, but the draw hurt both. Those who benefited were Arsenal, who beat Brentford with a goal near the end and reached the top.

Now Tottenham have the opportunity to recover and get back to the top of the table. If they can get a win in London this Sunday against Aston Villa, they will be in second place with 29 points, the same as Manchester City, just one behind the Gunners.

But it won't be an easy task, as their opponents have proven to be one of the best teams in the tournament. In fact, The Villans are in fifth place in the standings, with only one point less than Spurs. That means that, if they win, they will overtake them and reach the Champions League qualification places.

Coach Ange Postecoglou decided that Tottenham's starting lineup will be: Guglielmo Vicario; Pedro Porro, Emerson, Ben Davies, Iyenoma Destiny Udogie; Rodrigo Bentancur, Giovani Lo Celso, Bryan Gil Salvatierra, Dejan Kulusevski, Brennan Johnson, Heung-Min Son. On the bench will be Brandon Austin, Fraser Forster, Alfie Dorrington, Eric Dier, Pierre Emile Hojbjerg, Oliver Skipp, Jamie Donely and Alejo Veliz.

Can they do it?

Aston Villa have an unbeatable opportunity to prove that they are ready to compete with the best teams in England. Their performance in the tournament so far is excellent and could be even better if they take the 3 points from London. Coach Unai Emery chose this starting lineup for Sunday's game: Emiliano ‘Dibu’ Martinez; Ezri Konsa, Diego Carlos, Pau Torres, Lucas Digne; Matthew Cash, Boubacar Kamara, Douglas Luiz, John McGinn, Moussa Diaby, Ollie Watkins.
