And Emery has made one change to the side which beat the Cottagers on November 13. Diego Carlos comes in for Youri Tielemans, whilst Jacob Ramsey returns to the bench and Nicolo Zaniolo misses out after returning to Villa injured after the international break.

The Villa starting XI against Tottenham is: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Carlos, Pau, Digne, Kamara, Luiz, McGinn, Diaby, Watkins. The substitutes are: Olsen, Tielemans, Moreno, Lenglet, Duran, Bailey, Dendoncker, Ramsey, Iroegbunam.
Here is how Villa fans have reacted on social media to the team news...
Harrison Pearce: Interesting starting XI with Cash at right midfield as he can help out going forward but he is probably there to defend. I am really excited to see if Ramsey comes back into the team today after being put on the bench.
Calv: Nice to see the bench a lot stronger today, also Duran back in I like to see. Come on you Villa boys.
RM: Good to see Ramsey on the bench.
NguynBTp2: Hopefully don't show too much respect to them. We seem quite defensive and we struggle when inviting pressure!
Jhon Duran Duran: MORENO AND RAMSEY ON THE BENCH WE ARE UP.
Daniel Bowden: Makes sense with a back 3/5. Having Moreno back playing in this formation away from home will be a huge asset.
Andy Jones: Good team again!!! Come on lads.
Lauracamwell: Moreno and Ramsey on the bench? You love to see it.
