With the chance to put their Champions League destiny back in their own hands, Tottenham Hotspur head north for a crucial Premier League date with Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon.
Ange Postecoglou's side produced another home fightback to overcome Crystal Palace 3-1 last weekend, where Timo Werner, Cristian Romero and Son Heung-min rendered Eberechi Eze's stunning free kick meaningless.
The Lilywhites make the trek to Villa Park with a five-point gap to make up to Unai Emery's side, but they still have a game in hand and will officially be back in control of a place in the top four with all three points in the West Midlands.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Villa, who eked out a 3-2 success over Luton Town last time out.

Prior to the beating of Palace, Postecoglou revealed that Richarlison could miss up to three weeks with a knee injury, but the striker told ESPN Brasil after that clash with the Eagles that he was already training again and could make an unexpectedly quick recovery for the weekend. However, the striker has now been ruled out by his manager.
