Mauricio Pochettino has made one change to his team for today’s Premier League match against Aston Villa, with Moises Caicedo returning in midfield.
Caicedo missed last week’s trip to Bournemouth due to a minor knock sustained while on international duty, but he is back in the team today to take on Aston Villa. He will partner Conor Gallagher in midfield, who captains the side again, with Enzo Fernandez completing the line-up in the middle of the park.
It is an unchanged defence, as Malo want, Axel Disasi, Thiago Silva and Levi Colwill all continue in front of goalkeeper Robert Sanchezwhile Raheem Sterling and Mykhailo Mudryk start on the flanks in attack. Nicolas Jackson leads the line.
Armando Broja returns to be named among the substitutes for the first time this year, after recovering from the serious injury suffered on our winter training camp.
Aston Villa are unchanged from the side which beat Crystal Palace 3-1 in their last Premier League fixture.
