Dean Smith named an unchanged starting line-up for Aston Villa’s Premier League encounter at Tottenham Hotspur (ko 2pm).

The Villa head coach kept faith with the same XI who secured a deserved 1-0 triumph against Manchester United at Old Trafford last weekend.

Spurs: Lloris, Romero, Emerson, Reguilón, Dier, Højbjerg, Skipp, Ndombele, Son Heung-Min, Moura, Kane.

Subs: Gollini, Sánchez, Rodon, Winks, Scarlett, Gil, Alli, Doherty, Lo Celso.

Aston Villa: Martinez, Mings, Hause, Konsa, J Ramsey, McGinn, Cash, Luiz, Targett, Ings, Watkins.

Subs: Steer, Young, Traoré, Archer, Nakamba, Buendía, Tuanzebe, Philogene-Bidace, El Ghazi.
