How Aston Villa could line up against Tottenham Hotspur

Sports Mole looks at how Aston Villa could line up against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday.

Dean Smith remains unsure of Jack Grealish's availability for Aston Villa's Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

The England international has missed the Villans' last five games with a shin injury, but he returned to training earlier this week.

Speaking at his pre-match news conference on Friday, Smith revealed that he will make a decision on whether Grealish can play any part on the morning of the match.

Even if the playmaker is fit to feature, however, he will surely be eased back into action from the bench.

That should mean Trezeguet or Anwar El-Ghazi getting the nod out wide, with Bertrand Traore - another slight fitness doubt - getting the nod on the other flank.

Ollie Watkins seems certain to lead the line, three days on from being called up to the England senior squad - a reward for scoring 10 goals in 27 league games this term.

Another certain starter is Emiliano Martinez, who has 14 Premier League clean sheets this term, placing him behind only Manchester City's Ederson (16).

Aston Villa possible starting lineup: Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Mings, Targett; Luiz, Nakamba; Traore, McGinn, Trezeguet; Watkins
