Tottenham Hotspur will face Aston Villa tonight as they look to bounce back from a tough defeat and revive their season through the FA Cup.
Manager Thomas Frank is under significant pressure after a 3-2 loss to Bournemouth. The defeat led to intense discussions between players and fans afterward. Tensions escalated when Frank was seen with an Arsenal coffee cup, for which he has apologized. A solid performance is crucial to ease the situation in North London.
Tottenham Hotspur Team News
Tottenham is dealing with a considerable injury crisis, with several key players unavailable. Mohammed Kudus is out and won’t return until April, while Rodrigo Bentancur is sidelined with a hamstring injury from the Bournemouth match. James Maddison, Dominic Solanke, and Dejan Kulusevski are also long-term absentees.
As a result, Frank will likely depend on the squad depth. Antonin Kinsky is expected to start in goal, with Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven solidifying the defense. Joao Palhinha, who recently scored a bicycle kick, is set to join young Archie Gray in midfield. Up front, Mathys Tel and Richarlison will support Randal Kolo Muani as Spurs aim to improve their record of just two wins in their last 12 matches.

Tottenham Hotspur predicted XI: Kinsky; Spence, Romero, Van de Ven, Porro; Gray, Palhinha; Simons, Tel, Richarlison; Kolo Muani
