Tottenham travel north on Sunday where they will be hoping to end their run of three games without a win against relegation favourites, Aston Villa.
Mauricio Pochettino has come under a lot of criticism in recent days after fielding a weakened side against Borussia Dortmund on Thursday so the Argentine will be hoping that decision is justified with a victory.
The Lilywhites are strong favourites heading into the match, with Villa nine points from safety and looking almost certain for relegation.
Nevertheless, the Spurs boss is clearly not taking anything for granted following his selection in midweek and despite their lowly position, Villa have taken points from both Leicester and Manchester City which Spurs cannot afford to do if they are to maintain their title charge.
Luckily, Spurs will be aided by the return of both Dele Alli and Eric Dier who did not travel to Germany so should be fresh for the encounter.
With this in mind, here is a predicted XI for the game.
