Here's the Tottenham Hotspur team that Roberto De Zerbi has selected to face Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday evening
Roberto De Zerbi has made four changes his Tottenham team to take on Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday night.
Spurs currently have their Premier League destiny back in their own hands after West Ham's 3-0 loss at Brentford on Saturday afternoon, but face a difficult test at fifth-placed Villa. Unai Emery's side are between Europa League semi-final legs against Nottingham Forest and have made seven changes to their side.
De Zerbi had already made it clear that whatever team their hosts put out would be a strong one and the Italian has no Xavi Simons or Dominic Solanke to call upon after their injuries in the win at Wolves, making it eight unavailable players.
The head coach suggested Mathys Tel was going to start and the young Frenchman comes in on on the left wing with Randal Kolo Muani out on the right and Richarlison up front for Solanke.

De Zerbi told football.london that left-back Destiny Udogie could be back in contention and the Italian returns to the starting line-up, with Djed Spence on the bench. Joao Palhinha netted an important goal on Saturday at Molineux and has earned a spot alongside Rodrigo Bentancur with Yves Bissouma dropping to the bench.
Guglielmo Vicario remains out which means another game between the sticks for Antonin Kinsky. Pape Matar Sarr is back on the bench following his shoulder injury, but there are no forward options on there for De Zerbi to call upon.
