Here's the Tottenham Hotspur team that we reckon Roberto De Zerbi will select to face Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday

Roberto De Zerbi will have his hand forced by Tottenham's latest batch of injuries but still has decisions to make as he picks his team to take on Aston Villa.

Spurs now have their Premier League destiny back in their own hands after West Ham's 3-0 defeat at Brentford on Saturday afternoon, but face a tough test at Villa, who sit fifth in the table. Tottenham will be hoping that their hosts will have to rotate for the game which is sandwiched between their Europa League semi-final legs against Nottingham Forest.

Villa's top five spot - bringing with it Champions League football next season - is almost assured with Brighton's defeat at Newcastle leaving Brentford now in sixth and seven points behind Unai Emery's side with three games to play. In that scenario, Villa might be forgiven for having one eye on their European second leg.

De Zerbi has already made it clear that whatever team their hosts put out it will be a strong one and he will have no Xavi Simons or Dominic Solanke to call upon after their injuries in the win at Wolves, making it eight unavailable players.

Having no Xavi means De Zerbi will have to go for width as the main creator for his team rather than any playmaker. The head coach suggested Mathys Tel was going to start and the young Frenchman could come into the side on the left wing with Randal Kolo Muani out on the right and Richarlison is likely to come in for Solanke.

Lucas Bergvall will be hoping for a go in the number 10 role, but Conor Gallagher's work rate and experience has impressed the new Spurs boss.

De Zerbi told football.london that left-back Destiny Udogie could be back in contention but there's a chance he might stick with Djed Spence to start rather than throw the Italian straight back into the fray after his injury woes. Joao Palhinha netted an important goal on Saturday but De Zerbi could again stick with the pairing of Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma for a third straight game in order to build a partnership there.

Guglielmo Vicario remains out which means another game between the sticks for Antonin Kinsky after his top drawer late save at Molineux last weekend.

Here's the Tottenham team we reckon De Zerbi could select to face Villa:

The Tottenham Hotspur head coach has been speaking about his attacking players and why he believes they can save the club this season

Roberto De Zerbi loves Richarlison's "pure" face and believes the Brazilian, Mathys Tel and Randal Kolo Muani can seize the moment for relegation-threatened Tottenham.

The new Spurs boss has just four games left to save the north London outfit from the drop, starting with Sunday's trip to Aston Villa. He must do so with eight players out injured and many of them his attacking stars. With no Dominic Solanke, Xavi Simons, Mohammed Kudus, Dejan Kulusevski or Wilson Odobert to call upon, and James Maddison not yet ready to start matches, the attacking trio of Richarlison, Tel and Kolo Muani will need to score the goals to keep Tottenham up.

Richarlison has seen off relegation before with Everton, scoring crucial goals to keep the Toffees in the top flight before his £60million move to Spurs in 2022. Now Tottenham's top scorer must evoke those memories to save his current club.

"Richarlison is a great guy because he is a sensitive guy, I like him as a player and as a man. What he thinks you can understand immediately from his face, or his eyes. It’s pure," said De Zerbi. "We have to put him in the right condition to score. I want to put all the attackers in the right condition to attack the space, to shoot, to go one to one, to play between the lines, to make the assists. In the second half at Wolves, we didn't."

Richarlison has more than 50 caps for Brazil and De Zerbi believes people have forgotten how good his players actually are, including themselves.

"This is my problem. I would like to remember every day what they are and what they have done," he said. "But not three, four, five years ago, because Tottenham finished the Champions League [league phase] in fourth position this season."

With Xavi's ACL injury, Tel will likely get the chance to show what he can do down his favoured left flank and De Zerbi has high hopes for the 21-year-old, who he tried to sign for Marseille.

"He is a potential big player, a potential big talent at the moment and we have to help him become a top player because he has the right qualities to do that," he said. "I’m sorry because I used him in not his favourite position. He played two games as a right winger, against Wolves and Brighton.

"His favourite position is left winger but at Wolves he was important to win the corner for the goal. Now maybe without Xavi, Maddison and Odobert and all the other players he can feel more comfortable because he can prepare his game for one week without the thoughts of whether he plays or not. The responsibilities can be better for us and for him."

So can the France U21 international fulfil the talent that saw Bayern Munich sign him at just 17-years-old from Rennes?

"I don’t know but it can be the right moment for him. The players become great when they understand the right moment to become better," said De Zerbi.

"Xavi in my time, spent the time [well] and was becoming great, and I could feel something different from him in personality and confidence, in performances as well. I don’t know if the credit is mine but maybe he understood the right position, had the right confidence and the ideas of the coach so he made the most of the opportunity."

The final member of the attacking trio is Kolo Muani and De Zerbi is keen for him remind everyone why PSG splashed out almost £75million on him from Eintracht Frankfurt less than three years ago.

"Muani? He’s another of my problems. I have too many problems!" said the Italian. "But it’s not problems, I love working in this part of my job because when I was a player, I wanted to work with the coach to help to transfer more confidence, to believe, to show what his idea was about me.

“Sometimes coaches forget about this part of our work, but in this part, I want to be the first level. I can lose on the pitch, I can lose something in the tactics, but in terms of relationship, I want to give my best with all the players and not forget anyone."

With the game against Villa sandwiched between two Europa League semi-final legs against Nottingham Forest, Unai Emery could potentially rotate his team to face Spurs but De Zerbi is not expecting that to change much for the Premier League's fifth-placed team.

"Aston Villa have 20-22 players of first level. Douglas Luiz, Bogarde, Bailey, Sancho, Abraham, Mings are not the second level," said the head coach.

"It will be a tough game with the same players of Thursday or if he goes to change, I don’t know, but nothing changes from the level of the opponent."

Tottenham Hotspur can climb out of the Premier League relegation zone if they beat Aston Villa on Sunday night.

Tottenham Hotspur have been given a huge boost to their hopes of avoiding relegation from the Premier League. The Lilywhites have the chance to climb out of the bottom three when they face Aston Villa following West Ham's defeat to Brentford.

The Bees stung Nuno Espirito Santo's side at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday afternoon, banking three crucial points that turned the tide at either end of the table. Brentford climbed into sixth place, taking the lead in the race for qualification to the Europa League, while West Ham squandered the opportunity to extend their advantage over Spurs.

Keith Andrews' side took the lead after a quarter of an hour when Konstantinos Mavropanos turned the ball into his own net. The Hammers struck the post a few moments later before having a goal chalked off by the Video Assistant Referee for offside.

Despite their best efforts, West Ham couldn't level proceedings, with Valentín Castellanos hitting the woodwork again. Brentford doubled their lead shortly into the second half when Igor Thiago sent Mads Hermansen the wrong way from the spot.

The Bees put the third and final nail in the coffin eight minutes from the end, with Mikkel Damsgaard wrapping a superb win for the hosts and a what could prove to be costly defeat for the Hammers. Nuno's side could have gone five points clear of Tottenham, but they're still just a stone's throw away.

The Lilywhites can capitalise on West Ham's misfortune when they take centre stage at Villa Park on Sunday night. Without getting carried away, De Zerbi always expected the Hammers to fluff their lines.

Speaking to reporters at Hotspur Way on Friday afternoon, the Italian deflected and pointed out that West Ham have some tough fixtures coming up. Deflecting some pressure off his players, De Zerbi said: "We have two points less than West Ham and West Ham have to play a difficult game as well, like us.

"Okay, it's not the best moment for us, it's a tough moment, it's a difficult moment, but the losers cry, the losers think negatively. I don't want people close to me crying or to think in a different way than me. That was clear?"

He added: "We have to die on the pitch and to die on the pitch, we have to lose the game, and before losing the game, we have to play, we have to fight."

On how he plans to approach Sunday night's clash, De Zerbi said: "Keeping the ball, showing our qualities, because if we have a chance to win the game, it's because we have great players, for me, and fight, run, defend everyone together with order, with the right organisation.

"Without the ball, for sure, because we have to defend, but we have to attack and to keep the ball and to enjoy with the ball. To try the one-to-one on the wingers' side. To play when we have the right time and the right space between the lines. That's my idea."

On the fans, De Zerbi said: "They showed their passion with Brighton at home. It was an incredible atmosphere, and we have our responsibilities also for them.

"They showed their passion in Wolverhampton, because they were fantastic with us. It's not so easy to see another stadium in this position of the table to give the same support, the same love they gave against Brighton or in Wolverhampton."

Tottenham Hotspur loanee Luka Vuskovic has seen his market value increase despite not yet making a competitive appearance for the club

Luka Vuskovic’s transfer value has seemingly increased despite not yet making an appearance for Tottenham Hotspur. Vuskovic, 19, is currently on loan at German club Hamburger SV, moving to the Bundesliga outfit last summer after officially becoming a Spurs player.

Spurs agreed a deal to sign Vuskovic back in 2023 when he was 16 years old at Hajduk Split, with the defender moving to north London last summer.

Upon his official switch to Tottenham, Vuskovic moved to Hamburger SV last summer to gain valuable first-team experience, and has seen his transfer value increase as a result.

The CIES Football Observatory have crunched the numbers and stated that Vuskovic’s market value currently stands between €42million (£36.3million) and €49million (£42.3million).

The same website stated in August last year that Vuskovic’s value was around €37.8million (£32.7million), which marks potentially a £9.6million increase in eight months despite not making a single appearance for Tottenham.

Vuskovic will be expected to return to Tottenham this summer but faces an uncertain future due to the club’s position in the Premier League table.

Spurs are currently in 18th place in the Premier League standings and just two points above the relegation zone with four matches left to play, and will face Aston Villa on Sunday as they look to move out of the drop zone.

Vuskovic has been battling injury during his loan spell at Hamburg, having spent three weeks on the sidelines with a knee issue.

The young centre-back has reportedly been suffering from ‘knee contusion’, but Hamburger SV boss Merlin Polzin recently offered an optimistic update about Vuskovic’s fitness, with the defender taking part in a light recovery session.

“First of all, this is really good: sunshine, Luka is here. Wonderful,” Polzin said.

“It gives me a good feeling that the pain has subsided."

Vuskovic made his return from injury as a late substitute during Hamburg’s 2-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga, which was the defender’s 28th appearance across all competitions during his loan spell this season.

Vuskovic will also have an eye on featuring for Croatia at this summer’s World Cup, with the 19-year-old already featuring four times for his country before the tournament across the Atlantic, which begins next month.

Roberto De Zerbi has four games to keep Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

Antonin Kinsky has backed Tottenham Hotspur to avoid relegation from the English top-flight. Last weekend, the 23-year-old goalkeeper helped the Lilywhites seal their first Premier League win of the year, making a crucial save in the dying embers of stoppage time to deny Joao Gomes.

Although Nottingham Forest and West Ham also tasted victory, keeping Spurs in the bottom three, the result at Molineux injected newfound belief and confidence into Roberto De Zerbi's side. Now, Tottenham have four games to climb out of the relegation zone.

Speaking to Sky Sports ahead of Sunday night's clash against Aston Villa, Kinsky revealed he believes the Lilywhites have what it takes to escape the drop. On how he sees the fight for survival, he said: "It's just positive.

"I think if anyone from us would feel different, then there is no point of being within the squad. Where it all starts, it's here. And if you don't believe it, then you can't achieve it.

"So this is the most important thing. OK, do your best to be prepared, but first of all, you need to have the goal and believe it. Otherwise, everything is pointless. So I believe everyone is like this, and I believe this is what's going to help us a lot."

On the impact of De Zerbi, who replaced Igor Tudor in the dugout at the end of March, Kinsky said: "By the way he speaks, what you read and what you hear from him is that he believes in us and that is a big message that he gives us overall: that the quality is there in the squad.

"It's just not to speak about it but to show it. With the combination, with the style that he wants to play, I think our squad fits to that so I believe this is going to work. Now we have four points from three games, there is four left and I hope and I believe that this is the right way."

Earlier this year, Kinsky marked his Champions League debut with a catalogue of mistakes. The Czech international made a few high-profile errors in the first leg of the last-16 and was taken off shortly before the half-hour mark.

On the defeat to Atletico Madrid, Kinsky said: "It was a moment, debut in the Champions League, that I was dreaming of as a young boy. For me, this was the thing that I was going for.

"I was looking forward to it so much. Of course, after the game, I was sad that this happened, but on the other hand, I was calm. I have good people around me who always give me good feedback, what they really think about it and they are honest with me.

"So, I spoke to them a lot, I listened to them, then I compared it to my feelings and they were similar. So, upon me, it was just to keep going and make sure that when the next opportunity comes, I will be ready again."

The Tottenham goalkeeper added: "I would say I'm stronger by that one experience. It's not like before I would feel weak, now I feel stronger because I made [that experience].

"You make it because you are strong already and it makes you just stronger and it helps you just to grow. There is always so much things to improve, so it just shows you the things that you can get better at or mentally to adjust a little bit the approach towards the game."

football.londonreporters select their Tottenham starting XIs for Sunday's huge Premier League trip to Aston Villa

Roberto De Zerbi has claimed it will not be a miracle if Tottenham win at Villa Park this weekend.

It feels like the world is against his Spurs side at the moment in their quest to avoid the Premier League drop.

Last weekend, the Europa League winners lost Xavi Simons and Dominic Solanke to injury and now the squad will have to rally themselves again as they bid to build on last week's important triumph at Wolves.

football.london reporters Alasdair Gold (chief Tottenham correspondent) and Ryan Taylor select the Tottenham XIs they would like to see against Villa, who will have one eye on next week's Europa League semi-final second leg against Nottingham Forest following defeat at the City Ground.

Alasdair Gold - Chief Tottenham Correspondent

Having no Xavi is of course a huge blow and it means De Zerbi will have to go for width as the main creator for his team rather than any playmaker. That means Mathys Tel should come into the side on the left wing with Randal Kolo Muani out on the right and Richarlison will likely come in for Solanke and be prepared to get his head on as many crosses as possible from the wingers and Pedro Porro.

I would like to see Lucas Bergvall given a go in the number 10 role, but I think De Zerbi will probably stick with Conor Gallagher as he trusts the 26-year-old's work rate and experience.

Behind the attack, the rest of the team will probably remain unchanged. The Spurs boss told football.london that Destiny Udogie could be back in contention but he might stick with Djed Spence to start rather than throw the Italian straight back into the fray after his injury woes.

Joao Palhinha netted an important goal on Saturday but I think De Zerbi will stick with the pairing of Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma for a third straight game in order to build a partnership there.

Gold's Tottenham XI vs Aston Villa: Kinsky; Porro, Danso, Van de Ven, Spence; Bentancur, Bissouma; Kolo Muani, Gallagher, Tel; Richarlison.

Ryan Taylor

Roberto De Zerbi's hand will be forced following Xavi Simons' ACL injury but luckily, Tottenham have a natural replacement in Mathys Tel ready to make his mark.

Antonin Kinsky has been superb in recent weeks, while there should be just one change in the back four if Destiny Udogie is fit to play as the Italian should replace Djed Spence.

Pedro Porro, Kevin Danso and Micky van de Ven complete the backline.

In midfield, Rodrigo Bentancur and Joao Palhinha will take care of business and lock the centre of the pitch down.

That will provide the forwards with a platform to express themselves and grab the goals Spurs require.

Tel can play from the left, Randal Kolo Muani should feature on the right with Conor Gallagher supporting Richarlison as the No.10, pressing from the front.

It's a big game for Richarlison in particular as he needs to step up in the absence of Dominic Solanke, who suffered a hamstring problem at Molineux last weekend.

The Tottenham Hotspur head coach has been speaking about trying to save the north London club from the prospect of Premier League relegation

Roberto De Zerbi admits he has had to compromise his style at Tottenham for now and has given an update on midfielder Pape Matar Sarr.

The former Marseille boss has been parachuted in to try to save Spurs from the drop in the Premier League and results have begun to turn under the 46-year-old. The north London side drew with in-form Brighton before grabbing their first league win of 2026 with the 1-0 victory at relegated Wolves last Saturday.

Tottenham are yet to play in the high-octane, attacking De Zerbi way seen in his days at Brighton and as well as injuries not helping that process, the new head coach admitted he has had to shelve too much change at this point.

"Of course. The compromise is we can’t work too much, we can't give them too much information, too many instructions, because at the beginning when you have too many instructions you lose the speed," he explained. "But I think they are smart and they can understand quickly and they need instructions, they need a fixed plan, a clear plan.

"In the first-half at Wolves, I think we played well. Not shooting too many times, not creating too many chances to score, not with the right speed, but in terms of order, occupation of the spaces, the line pass … maybe some mistakes in the decisions because too many times we went outside and we have to change the habits – sometimes we go outside, sometimes we keep the ball inside.

"Because keeping the ball inside, we can attack in the right side, in the left side, straight, and if we go outside you have just two parts – the right side and the centre, it’s difficult to go on the other side. Keeping the ball inside permits you to reach the winger and to go one-to-one and there is a lot of work to do, but now we have no time."

De Zerbi will be without the injured Xavi Simons and Dominic Solanke among eight unavailable players for the trip to Aston Villa on Sunday but he has Destiny Udogie back in contention and he gave a positive update on Pape Matar Sarr, who has missed recent weeks with a shoulder problem.

"Today was the first day with the group but he worked very well. He’s available, yes. I have not decided yet the starting XI," said the Italian.

Spurs now start a run of playing after their main relegation rivals West Ham, who sit two points above them in 17th. De Zerbi is not concerned about kick-off times though as the Hammers make the short trip to face Brentford on Saturday afternoon.

"We think about Villa and then we go to speak about the other three games. I don’t know, if we win, yes, not now, we can’t think if we play before or after. It can be negative or it can be positive to give some more energy," he said before explaining how he has been lifting the players' spirits.

"With my eyes I can reach the head of the players. Nothing different. I can't change my face or myself depending on who is in front of me. Clear, honest and what I feel I say."

De Zerbi was asked whether Tottenham can still win five matches in a row under him with all of their injuries.

"Yes, it’s possible because we have good players. You are not convinced?" he asked of the reporter.

When the answer came back that the journalist had seen a lot of Spurs matches this season, the Italian slumped forward over the desk.

"And so we stay like this, ‘urrrrgh,’ no? What do we have to do?" he asked. "Explain to me, help me. You have friends in my dressing room? I hope not!"

Tottenham Hotspur face Aston Villa in the Premier League without several players due to injury, but Spurs could have some returnees in their squad at Villa Park

Tottenham Hotspur still have several players out injured ahead of their Premier League match against Aston Villa.

Xavi Simons is the latest one to be ruled out for the rest of this season and beyond after rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during the 1-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers. He joins Ben Davies, Cristian Romero, Dejan Kulusevski, Mohammed Kudus and Wilson Odobert on that list.

Destiny Udogie, Guglielmo Vicario, James Maddison and Pape Matar Sarr could all return for some of the final four matches, though. football.london have rounded-up the latest injury news and return dates below.

The Tottenham Hotspur head coach has been able to bring in one of his long-time colleagues to help him at the Premier League club

Roberto De Zerbi has been able to bring one of his trusted staff members to Tottenham after Enrico Venturelli was handed a work permit, football.london understands.

The new Spurs boss normally brings in a large number of staff with him when he joins clubs but had so far only brought two to north London with him in Marcattilio Marcattilii and Marcello Quinto, who joined the Premier League side as fitness coach and senior professional development phase coach respectively.

Now football.london understands that a work permit has finally been granted for Venturelli, who has worked with De Zerbi at his three previous clubs, Marseille, Brighton and Shakhtar Donetsk, as one of his assistant first team coaches. However, the 45-year-old is understood to have joined Spurs in a role that at this point is purely as a translator with no coaching responsibilities, which he will start immediately.

Venturelli speaks Italian, English, Russian and Spanish and has a broad experience base beyond football coaching as he was previously involved with FIFA and UEFA and was a project manager at three different Olympic Games.

The newcomer will ensure De Zerbi can get everything he wants across to his players and the other club staff while also providing support when the Spurs head coach speaks to the media. In press conferences De Zerbi has been using different translators most weeks. The 46-year-old speaks good English but occasionally leans on a translator to fully grasp longer questions.

De Zerbi kept on previous Tottenham assistant coaches Bruno Saltor and Andreas Georgson when he arrived in N17 as well as individual development coach Cameron Campbell and goalkeeping coach Fabian Otte on his staff, supported by first team academy transition coaches Stuart Lewis and Dean Brill.

Marcattilii has been a constant at De Zerbi's side throughout his coaching career all the way back to his time at Foggia. The 52-year-old fitness coach then followed him to Palermo, Benevento, Sassuolo, Shakhtar, Brighton and Marseille.

Quinto is a more recent addition to De Zerbi's staff, having worked with him at Brighton and Marseille as a technical coach. That's because the 40-year-old only retired in 2020 and coached within Fiorentina's academy after hanging up his boots. The link comes because Quinto played under the new Spurs boss while at Foggia as a defensive midfielder.

The Tottenham Hotspur boss has provided the latest team news ahead of the trip to Aston Villa

Roberto De Zerbi has not ruled James Maddison out of Tottenham's crucial Premier League clash against Aston Villa.

The attacking midfielder has not featured this season due to an ACL injury but has been named on the bench in recent weeks in a bid to improve morale across the squad. Speaking on Friday ahead of Sunday's trip to the Midlands, De Zerbi said Maddison was training "very well".

"I don't know," the Italian said when asked if Maddison could feature at Villa Park. "I would like to play with him, because he's a special player, he's a different player, but we have to consider the physical condition, a lot of things. But I think he can be important in the next three games."

Elsewhere, De Zerbi confirmed Dominic Solanke and Guglielmo Vicario will miss the clash due to injury, with the former Bournemouth striker sustaining a hamstring injury. "I don't know yet. For Villa, no, for sure. And then we will see," De Zerbi said on Solanke.

Destiny Udogie, though, is expected to be involved. De Zerbi added: "Udogie can be available, yes. I don't know if at the beginning of the game or in the second half, but he's available, yes."

Asked on his approach to the Villa game, De Zerbi said: "Keeping the ball, showing our qualities, because if we have a chance to win the game, it's because we have great players for me, and fight, run, defend everyone together, with order, with the right organisation, without the ball for sure, because we have to defend, but we have to attack and to keep the ball, and to enjoy with the ball, to try the one-to-one on the wingers' side, to play when we have the right time and the right space between the lines, that's my idea."
