Aston Villa have the opportunity to move above their opponents in the Premier League table as they travel away to face Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
The Villans are currently one point behind their upcoming hosts and could end the weekend in the top four of the division with a victory over Spurs.
Unai Emery's side head into the match off the back of a 3-1 win over Fulham, thanks to an own goal from Antonee Robinson and goals from John McGinn and Ollie Watkins, and will be looking for another three points.
However, that victory does not have to mean that the Spanish head coach will name an unchanged XI for this match. Here is our predicted Villa XI to take on Spurs in London on Sunday…
1 Emiliano Martinez
Starting off between the sticks, the Argentina number one – Emiliano Martinez – should start as he has already started 11 of the club's 12 Premier League games so far.
The 31-year-old titan will be hoping to add to his return of two top-flight clean sheets as the World Cup winner has found it difficult to keep shutouts despite the side's impressive form.
2 Matty Cash
matty-cash-aston-villa-injury-poland
At right-back, Matty Cash could continue in defence as he is the only senior natural right-back at the club since the departure of Ashley Young to Everton over the summer.
The Poland international made two interceptions and two clearances whilst recording the highest Sofascore rating (7.0) across the Villa back four against Fulham.
3 Ezri Konsa
ezri-konsa-aston-villa
At the heart of the defence, Ezri Konsa could line up at centre-back as the English colossus has started 12 top-flight matches during the 2023/24 campaign.
The former Brentford star has won an outstanding 74% of his duels, including 80% of them on the deck, across those matches as he has displayed his physical dominance against the opposition.
4 Pau Torres
Aston Villa central defender Pau Torres.
Signed from Villarreal over the summer, Pau Torres could retain his position in the team and partner Konsa in the central defensive positions for the Villans.
The Spain international currently ranks within the top 13% of Premier League centre-backs for progressive carries (1.54) and progressive passes (5.74) per 90 this season, which highlights how impressive he has been at playing out from the back to start attacks for the team.
5 Alex Moreno
Aston Villa'sAlexMoreno.
The first change could come at left-back as Alex Moreno could come in to make his first appearance of the season, having missed the start of the campaign due to injury.
He managed three assists and 1.6 tackles and interceptions per game across 19 Premier League outings last term, whilst Lucas Digne has assisted two goals in 12 top-flight clashes this season.
It would not be a surprise to see the Frenchman keep his place at left-back but Emery brought Moreno in as one of his first signings in January and relied on him with 14 starts during the second half of the 2022/23 campaign.
This suggests that the Spaniard trusts him to perform and that could be why he is selected from the start to deal with the likes of Pedro Porro and Dejan Kulusevski on the left side.
6 Boubacar Kamara
In midfield, Boubacar Kamara could keep his place as the French talent has been a solid performer in the middle of the park with his defensive presence.
The former Marseille star has produced 3.1 tackles and interceptions and made 4.8 ball recoveries per match across 12 league starts for the Villans.
7 Douglas Luiz

Next to Kamara, it would be no surprise to see the club's brilliant Brazilian maestro Douglas Luiz continue to shine in midfield after his fantastic start to the season.
The former Manchester City man has provided five goals and one assist in 12 league starts for Emery's side, to go along with 2.7 tackles and interceptions per game.
8 John McGinn
John McGinn
The Villa skipper should retain his position in midfield as the team's leader and a player who has the ability to chip in with contributions at the top end of the pitch.
He has scored three goals and provided two assists in 12 Premier League starts so far and could add to his tally against Spurs on Sunday.
9 Nicolo Zaniolo
Aston Villa midfielder Nicolo Zaniolo.
The second change to the XI could be Nicolo Zaniolo starting ahead of Youri Tielemans in one of the attacking midfield positions to add some extra athleticism to the side against an energetic and high-intensity Tottenham team.
Galatasaray's loanee has made 0.2 more ball recoveries (2.2) and won 1.6 more duels (3.2) than the Belgian midfielder in the Premier League this season, and could, therefore, provide more to Villa out of possession to contain Ange Postecoglou's team.
This could then allow the other attacking players to thrive at the top end of the pitch by having Zaniolo in the XI to force turnovers and win physical battles.
10 Leon Bailey
The third and final change to the XI could be Leon Bailey coming in for Moussa Diaby to play alongside Ollie Watkins at the top end of the pitch.
Villa's French starlet did not enjoy his best afternoon against Fulham last time out as he struggled in front of goal with two 'big chances' missed in 62 minutes on the pitch.
He also only created one chance for his teammates and lost 75% of his duels during the game before being replaced by Bailey, who provided two key passes, created one 'big chance', and registered an assist in 28 minutes of action.
The former Bayer Leverkusen star, who was once dubbed "electric" by journalist Matt Maher, has plundered three goals and three assists in the Premier League so far this season and could be unleashed from the start ahead of Diaby after his impressive cameo against the Cottagers.
Charlie Austin26-Oct-2018Finals can often become turgid one-sided affairs. The final of the Coca Cola Champions Trophy at the CBFS Stadium in Sharjah could not have been more one-sided. However, what it lacked in competitiveness it made up for in sheer, undulated drama. Seldom can Sharjah have seen such scenes.Sri Lanka defeated India by 245 in one of their most intimidating performances in the history of Sri Lankan cricket. The architect was, Sanath Jayasuriya, who rescued an innings that was dipping into the doldrums, with a breathtaking 189 from just 161 balls, the second equal highest score in the history of one-day international cricket.Then, with India needing to score a mammoth 300 runs to win, the Sri Lanka bowlers ripped through the top order. Within 24 balls, both Tendulkar (5) and Ganguly (3) were left brooding in the dressing room. India’s chances of winning had been squashed and any self-belief that had previously lingered had now vanished.The Indian middle order capitulated. The only batsman to reach double figures was Robin Singh (11) and India were bowled out for just 54 runs. This was the lowest total ever in the history of one-day cricket in Sharjah and the third lowest in the world.Chaminda Vaas finished with a career best 5 for 14 from his 9.3 overs. Both he and Zoysa bowled aggressively, perhaps fuelled by the inspirational batting of their captain. Everything they did appeared to bring dividends.Ganguly, Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh (3) all played too early and were caught in front of the wicket. Vinod Kambli (3) was brilliantly caught at slip by Jayasuriya, and Zoysa picked up his first wicket when Badani (9) top edged a pull shot straight to Russel Arnold. India were 5 wickets down for 30 and Mutiah Muralitharan had not even marked out his run.When he did, it brought instantaneous success. His third ball, a fizzing, dipping off spinner clean bowled Dahiya (4). Then, in his next over, an arm ball deceived Robin Singh and he too was bowled. To add insult to injury Sunil Joshi was run out in school boyish fashion before Muralitharan and Vaas wrapped up the innings.The batting was piteous, of that there can be no doubt. However, it was the innings of Sanath Jayasuriya that sapped the self-belief of the Indians, and, ultimately was responsible for Sri Lanka winning their fifth match in succession and securing their second triangular tournament title in five months.Sri Lanka were on the ropes. After a brisk start the Indian fast bowlers had fought back and the run-rate had slowed. When Kumar Sangkkara flayed nonchalantly at Tendulkar and dragged the ball onto to his stumps, Sri Lanka were 116 for 4 in the 28th over. The batting became subdued and the running nervy.However, crucially, Sanath Jayasuriya, was still at he crease and he was joined by Russel Arnold, who exerted a calming influence upon his leader. The pair rescued the innings. Arnold was content to nurdle the ball into the gaps to give Jayasuriya the strike.From the very first delivery he faced, which was dispatched to the cover fence, he missed no opportunity offered. His iron wrists and bulging forearms created immense power in his shots and he hit four sixes and 21 boundaries in total.When he reached his century he ran amok, scoring 89 runs from 43 balls and took the game away from India. Ganguly admitted as much afterwards: “We are really disappointed. We had reduced them to 116 for 4 but, then, Sanath batted brilliantly and batted us out of the game. All credit should go to him.”During the carnage, somewhere in the outfield lurked a distraught Sunil Joshi. He had committed the cardinal sin of dropping Jayasuriya when he had made just 93. The left arm spinner had just been recalled into the attack after a miserly first spell of seven overs for 21 runs. Jayasuriya shimmied up the wicket and offered the bowler a relatively simple catch. So confident was Joshi off catching it that his arms flew, prematurely, into the air in celebration. Alas, the ball remained on the turf and with it disappeared India’s chance of winning the match.Unsurprisingly, Jayasuriya dominated the awards ceremony and made a small fortune for his troubles. He won the best batsman, best fielder, fastest fifty, most sixes, the man of the man match and, finally, the man of the series.When interviewed afterwards, he was his normal modest self, albeit with a brighter twinkle in the eye: “We have played as a team throughout the tournament and that is why we have won all fours games. It has been fantastic and I would like to thank all the players for being so supportive.”Murali too, paid tribute to the team ethic: “I am of course happy to have broken the world record, but I have to thank the team because without them it not have been done. I feel that I am bowling the best that I ever have and am really enjoying it.”They are right of course. The key to this Sri Lankan team has been the togetherness. The team play together, live together and enjoy each others company. They consider themselves, not individuals, but part of a whole. It is a state that Ganguly would dearly love to re-create.

Emprestado ao Fla até meados de 2021, Thiago Maia rompeu os ligamentos do joelhono jogo diante do Atlético-GO, dia 14 de novembro. A cirurgia não foi realizada antes de o Lille,detentor dos direitos econômicos do atleta,pedir uma avaliação de um médico ligado ao clube francês, o que adiou um pouco o procedimento.
A compra definitiva de Thiago Maia está nos planos da diretoria do Flamengo. A previsão de oito meses, conservadora, faz com que o retorno do atleta aos jogos antes do término de seu empréstimo, no meio de 2021, seja improvável. Contudo, de acordo com a evolução do jogador e das avaliações do DM do Fla, o período de inatividade pode ser diminuído. O volante tem 23 anos de idade.
ESPNcricinfo staff16-Nov-2018Ajinkya Rahane walks back after being dismissed•Associated Press
Four batsmen struck half-centuries for India A on the first day of the four-dayer against New Zealand A in Mount Maunganui, but M Vijay and Ajinkya Rahane missed out, scoring 28 and 12 respectively, as the visitors went to stumps at 340 for 5.Of those part of the Test touring party to Australia, middle-order batsman Hanuma Vihari top-scored with 85, before being dismissed off the fourth ball of the 90th over, which proved to be the last ball of the day. Vihari and wicketkeeper Parthiv Patel shared the most lucrative stand of the day for India, adding 138 in 199 balls for the fifth wicket before Vihari fell to the medium-pace of Kyle Jamieson.India began well after choosing to bat, with openers Vijay and Prithvi Shaw adding 61 before Vijay was bowled by Blair Tickner, who was the pick of the New Zealand A bowlers on the day. Shaw, the more dominant opening partner, went on to score an 88-ball 62 and added 50 with Mayank Agarwal before falling to the left-arm spin of Theo van Woerkom. This was the fifth time in his last seven innings that Shaw was dismissed by a spinner.Agarwal added another 73 runs with Vihari before becoming Tickner’s second victim, for 65. Rahane got off the blocks with a boundary off just his third ball but there wasn’t much joy for India’s vice-captain thereafter, as Doug Bracewell cleaned him up for a 19-ball 12, leaving the match delicately poised. But the Vihari-Parthiv stand helped India seize control again and finish the day on top.

Sunderland's home and away record has been chalk and cheese in recent weeks.
Whilst the Black Cats are winless in five matches on their travels, at the Stadium of Light it's a completely different story with Tony Mowbray's side winning three of their last four matches.
After losing 2-0 at Plymouth Argyle on Saturday, they must now respond at home to strugglers Huddersfield Town, who haven't tasted victory in six matches.
Following that abject performance against the Pilgrims, Mowbray is expected to freshen up proceedings and rest some of his tired legs.
Here's how Sunderland could line up against Huddersfield tomorrow night, with two changes anticipated from the weekend defeat.
1 GK – Anthony Patterson
Sunderland goalkeeper Anthony Patterson.
With only youngster Nathan Bishop posing a challenge to his spot in the team, it would take something drastic for Anthony Patterson to be dropped. He's played in all 17 Championship fixtures this term and the 23-year-old has kept five clean sheets.
2 RB – Trai Hume
Trai Hume
Whilst Jack Clarke will take the plaudits for his devastating form, Trai Hume has quietly been one of Sunderland's best players this season. The "brilliant" youngster, as dubbed by defensive partner Daniel Ballard, has created a whopping four big chances from right-back this term while impressing with his ability to defend, garnering a duel success rate of 62%.
3 CB – Luke O'Nien
Although his side slipped to a disappointing 2-0 defeat on Saturday, O'Nien still stood out in the heart of defence, showcasing his ability as a ball-playing defender and a monster in the tackle. He accurately placed 90 of his 101 passes (89%), five of his ten attempted long balls and won both of his ground duels. Such performances will unlikely see him get dropped anytime soon.
4 CB – Daniel Ballard
Dom Ballard
Dan Ballard's presence as a colossal figure in Sunderland's back line continues to grow. The 24-year-old demonstrated his monstrous physical attributes against Plymouth, winning a whopping ten of his 12 aerial duels and four of his five tackles. The former Arsenal man is no stranger to such domineering performances, he's been bullying opposition attackers all season long.
5 LB – Niall Huggins
Niall Huggins
Huggins is a driving force down the left flank and the youngster has all the ingredients in his locker to become a top defender.
The 23-year-old, who has featured in 14 Championship matches this term, has won an impressive 64% of his duels, ranked in the top 7% against his position peers in the division for successful take-ons and top 8% for pass completion, underlining his sensational defensive and attacking attributes.
6 CDM – Pierre Ekwah
Sunderland midfielder Pierre Ekwah.
Pierre Ekwah is the glue that holds the midfield together. When surrounded by an array of technical stars – like Rodri is for Manchester City – you need someone who is going to run through brick walls for the team and fly into tackles. Ekwah has showcased his tremendous talent as a holding midfielder by recovering 5.4 balls and 1.8 tackles per game.
7 RM – Patrick Roberts
Sunderland forward Patrick Roberts.
Hailed as "magic" by Mowbray, Roberts' wand of a left foot is capable of conjuring up brilliance and while only one assist in 15 Championship games suggests he's lacking an end product, other parts of his game have flourished.
The one-time Celtic star ranks in the top 2% against his positional peers in the division for progressive carries, successful take-ons and touches in the attacking penalty box. If he continues delivering such a threat down the right flank, the goal contributions will follow.
8 CM – Dan Neil
A playmaker in advanced areas for Sunderland, Neil's exquisite passing range – once likened to Manchester United legend Michael Carrick – has been used to unlock defences all season long. With 8.67 progressive carries per 90, three big chances created and two assists, the 21-year-old offers so much creativity and that will be needed in abundance against Huddersfield's low block.
9 CM – Adil Aouchiche
With Jobe Bellingham in need of a rest after starting every Championship game this term, attacking midfielder Aouchiche – who was once dubbed a "wonderful talent" by Jacek Kulig – should be in line to make his first start this evening.
The £7k per-week starlet replaced Ekwah at half-time on Saturday as Mowbray attempted to go more attacking with the Frenchman sprinkling some quality onto proceedings, recording an impressive four key passes and five accurate long balls.
10 LM – Jack Clarke
Sunderland winger Jack Clarke.
An unstoppable force down the left flank, who possesses the pace, skill and guile to unlock defences, Clarke's name needs no introduction. Since the departure of Ross Stewart in the summer, he's become Sunderland's talisman with nine goals in 17 appearances and will cause destruction down Huddersfield's right flank if they afford him space and time.
A equipe do Mirassol deu um passo importante rumo à vaga para a Série C do Campeonato Brasileiro de 2021. O time do interior de São Paulo bateu o Aparecidense-GO pelo placar de 2 a 1, de virada, e conquistou uma boa vantagem para a partida de volta das quartas de final da Série D.
– Foi uma partida cheia de emoções, do começo ao fim. Felizmente conseguimos cumprir com o nosso objetivo que era vencer dentro de casa para construir uma vantagem para o jogo de volta. Esperamos um confronto ainda mais duro na casa deles, mas estamos nos preparando forte para conseguir um bom resultado e sair com essa classificação, que é um sonho não só do clube e da torcida, como nosso também – declarou ovolante Igor Henrique.
Igor chegou no início de outubro de 2020 à equipe do Mirassol. O jogador estava no Guarani, disputando a Série B do Campeonato Brasileiro. Até agora, foram 12 jogos pelo Leão. O atleta tem no currículo um título da Série B de 2018, conquistado pelo Fortaleza, e passagens por clubes como Ituano, Ponte Preta e Atlético-GO.
O jogador também falou sobre o fato do clube ter vencido apenas uma partida fora de casa na competição, na vitória sobre o Toledo-PR por 4 a 0. no dia 14 de novembro. O time paulista precisa pelo menos segurar um empate contra a equipe goiana para garantir uma vaga para a Série C da próxima temporada.
– Realmente, nosso retrospecto fora de casa na Série D não tem sido muito bom. mas não criamos aqui dentro uma pressão nesse sentido. Sabemos que cada jogo tem sua história e o que queremos escrever neste sábado é um capítulo marcante na história do Mirassol. O grupo está 100% focado para essa partida – finalizou.

Netherlands will play a T20I quadrangular series in Oman from 8 to 18 February next year before travelling to India to play a number of first-class sides
ESPNcricinfo staff23-Dec-2018
Peter Della Penna
Netherlands have included uncapped offspinner Leon Turmaine and seamer Sebastiaan Braat in their squad for their tour of India in February-March next year. Netherlands will play a T20I quadrangular series, involving Oman, Ireland, and Scotland in Oman, from 8 to 18 February before travelling to India to play a number of first-class sides.Squads
For Oman tour: Pieter Seelaar (capt), Wesley Barresi, Ben Cooper, Ryan ten Doeschate, Scott Edwards, Timm van der Gugten, Fred Klaassen, Paul van Meekeren, Stephan Myburgh, Max O’Dowd, Shane Snater, Roelof van der Merwe, Tobias Visée, Sikander Zulfiqar For India tour: Pieter Seelaar (capt), Wesley Barresi, Sebastiaan Braat, Ben Cooper, Bas de Leede, Scott Edwards, Vivian Kingma, Stephan Myburgh, Max O’Dowd, Hidde Overdijk, Leon Turmaine, Tobias Visée, Saqib Zulfiqar, Sikander Zulfiqar
County players Ryan ten Doeschate, Paul van Meekeren, Roelof van der Merwe and Timm van der Gugten were all named in the T20I squad for the Oman tour, while Michael Rippon and Logan van Beek, who represent Otago and Wellington respectively in New Zealand’s domestic circuit, were left out.The decision is likely to have resulted from a scheduling clash with the Plunket Shield, New Zealand’s premier first-class competition, which is slated to run until March 20. While Rippon had played two ODIs for Netherlands, against Nepal, in August this year, van Beek hasn’t represented Netherlands in two years, having last played in a T20I against Bangladesh in the 2016 World T20.However, Netherlands will be bolstered by the presence of the county quartet, each of whom is seasoned in the limited-overs formats.None among ten Doeschate, van Meekeren, van der Merwe, van der Gugten, van Beek and Rippon was selected for the India tour, though. Travelling alongside the Braat-Turmaine duo are Hidde Overdjik (1 T20I), Saqib Zulfiqar (2 T20Is), and Sikander Zulfiqar (5 T20Is). Left-arm spinner Pieter Seelaar will captain both squads.In preparation for the twin assignments, a number of players will travel to La Manga in Spain for a training camp in January 2019.
