Tottenham travel to Aston Villa for Friday night football as they complete their preparations for the Europa League final next week.

The North London club will face Manchester United – who also play tonight against Chelsea – in Bilbao, but must first turn their attention to Unai Emery’s men.

Villa need a win if they are to continue the hunt for Champions League football next season, and they will be delighted to see a lot of rotation in the Spurs squad.

Nonetheless, Ange Postecoglou will still be expecting a strong performance from his players in the Midlands.

Read on to see how both teams line-up.

Aston Villa line-up

It is unsurprising to see Emery go very strong for this match.

Emiliano Martinez is in goal, with a back four of Matty Cash, Ezri Konsa, Pau Torres and Ian Maatsen.

In front of them sits a four that includes Morgan Rogers, Boubacar Kamara, Amadou Onana and John McGinn.

Marco Asensio has been given the nod in the No.10 role.

And Ollie Watkins is the lone striker for the home side.

Tottenham line-up

Spurs have gone with a mix of starters and squad players.

Antonin Kinsky is in goal, then comes a four of Sergio Reguilon, Ben Davies, Kevin Danso and Djed Spence.

Pape Matar Sarr and Archie Gray occupy the defensive midfield areas.

Wilson Odobert is on the right, and Mathys Tel on the left, with Mikey Moore through the middle.

Heung-Min Son captains and leads the line.
