Confirmed lineups for Aston Villa vs Tottenham clash

The fixture was shifted to Friday night following Tottenham's request for extra preparation time ahead of their European final against Manchester United in Bilbao.

Villa expressed dissatisfaction with the rescheduling, and questions remain over Spurs' approach at Villa Park, as the north Londoners, currently 17th, may prioritise avoiding injury ahead of their big continental showdown.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou confirmed on Thursday that Son Heung-min is expected to feature, using the game as an opportunity to regain full match fitness ahead of their Europa League final trip to Spain.

However, Spurs will be without Dejan Kulusevski, who has been ruled out of next week's final and now faces doubts over his availability at the start of next season.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa have suffered a blow with Marcus Rashford ruled out for the remainder of their campaign, missing Friday's clash entirely.

The Villans currently sit sixth in the table and remain locked in a tight battle with Chelsea, Manchester City and Newcastle for a place in next season’s Champions League — with the Premier League's top five securing qualification.

All eyes will be on Villa Park on Friday as the two Premier League sides vie for valuable points in the closing stages of the season.

Aston Villa starting XI: Martinez (GK); Cash, Konsa, Pau, Maatsen; Kamara, Onana, McGinn; Asensio, Rogers; Watkins.

Tottenham Hotspur starting XI: Kinsky (GK); Spence, Danso, Davies, Reguilon; Gray, Sarr; Odobert, Moore, Tel; Son.
