Leon Bailey returned to Aston Villa’s starting line-up for their clash against Tottenham Hotspur.

The fit-again Jamaica international was named in Unai Emery’s XI for the first time since hobbling out of April’s 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest.

Bailey replaced Bertrand Traoré, who was included among the substitutes, as Villa showed one change from last weekend’s defeat at Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Matty Cash was also named in the matchday 20 for the encounter against Spurs as Villa looked to extend their five-match winning run at Villa Park.



Aston Villa: Martínez, A Young, Konsa, Mings, Moreno, Bailey, McGinn, Luiz, Ramsey, Buendía, Watkins.

Subs: Olsen, Cash, Carlos, Traoré, Chambers, Durán, Digne, Dendoncker, Kamara.

Spurs: Forster, Royal, Romero, Lenglet, Porro, Skipp, Højbjerg, Davies, Son, Richarlison, Kane.

Subs: Austin, Sánchez, Perisic, Danjuma, Kulusevski, Moura, Sarr, Bissouma, Craig.
