Aston Villa make their return to Premier League action on Sunday afternoon as they take on Tottenham Hotspur away from home.
In fifth spot and with a chance to leapfrog their opposition to move into the top four, Unai Emery's men are in superb form and will be eager to continue their momentum.
Spurs were unbeaten and top of the league recently but two straight defeats have seen them drop away somewhat. Ange Postecoglou's side still carry a huge threat, however, and Emery will be very wary of that.
On paper, this fixture has the potential to be one of the most exciting of the season as both teams play with a daring offside trap and can be sometimes caught out on the transition.
With that in mind, we think Villa will go for a very strong starting lineup at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, even risking those who have picked up slight knocks on international duty.
1. GK - Emi Martinez
As a recent Yashin award winner, there’s very few in the world who could replace Martinez, let alone anyone in the Villa squad.
2. RB - Matty Cash
A doubt with a knock but should be fine to play. Has been much improved under Emery, particularly this season.
3. CB - Ezri Konsa
One of the most consistent players in the squad and recently earned his first England call-up. Not under any threat for his position.
4. CB - Pau Torres
Has been an outstanding signing so far, especially for his passing out from the back. The Spaniard makes things look so comfortable.
