After dramatic defeats at the hands of Chelsea and Wolverhampton Wanderers prior to the international break, there's pressure on Tottenham to respond with a victory this Sunday. As Premier League Football returns, the Lilywhites welcome Aston Villa to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the knowledge that a defeat would see their weekend opponents leapfrog them in the table. However, a victory could, hypothetically, send Spurs back top if luck is on their side. Ange Postecoglou has a mountain of injuries and suspensions to contend with, making the Australian's life significantly more difficult ahead of Villa's visit to north London. Spurs find themselves short on options all over the pitch and will need to perform better than they did against Wolves last time out to come away with three points this weekend. Here is how Postecoglou could line his Tottenham side up against Aston Villa. Tottenham vs Aston Villa - Premier League: TV channel, team news, lineups and prediction Tot...

Erik ten Hag's team were victorious - just about - in the reverse fixture against the Danes at Old Trafford, a Game ultimately defined by Andre Onana's late penalty save.

Travelling down to the Vitality Stadium on Saturday, Mikel Arteta has got a fair few selection headaches as there is a chance that both Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka will miss out through injury after they suffered knocks against Tottenham.

Chelsea will look to snap their seven- Game winless run when Brentford head to Stamford Bridge on Wednesday. The Blues haven't gone this long without a win since February 1995, when they actually made it to eight games without a victory. 21 members of the Blues first team weren't even alive at that point. An eighth consecutive match without a win would see this run become the third-worst in Chelsea's History in the Premier League era, so here's how Frank Lampard should set up to avoid that unwanted honour. Chelsea vs Brentford - Premier League: TV channel, team news, lineups & prediction Chelsea predicted lineup vs Brentford (3-4-2-1) GK: Kepa Arrizabalaga - Kepa's days as Chelsea starter may be numbered as the Blues look for an upgrade in goal this summer.
