Great news for Tottenham Hotspur, as they’ll be getting their Talisman, Heung-Min Song, back in action tomorrow against Aston Villa. That leaves Ange Postecoglu with four injury concerns for the Sunday matinee: Richarlison, Timo Werner, Micky van de Ven and Wilson Odobert.
The speedy Van de Ven and the surprise summer signing Odobert are unfortunately both ruled out of this one.

Team News for Both Sidesย
However, Werner and Richarlison could both be passed fit to feature here, meaning that Spurs should have a ton of options in attack. Shifting gears to the visitors, they are a fully fit side, more or less. How fortunate for Aston Villa manager Unai Emery, his squad and their supporters.
They have no real injury worries for this match here, and it will provide a chance to get some more fresh legs out there. Which they need, given all the fixture congestion going on.
