Tottenham vs Aston Villa Preview

February 5, 2010 | Written by : Jim Haines

Tottenham centre half Ledley King is back in contention for Harry Redknapp’s side while Aston Villa’s John Carew returns from a knee injury.

Carew will be in the squad, but Villa manager Martin O’Neill is set to keep faith with Emile Heskey.

Left back Stephen Warnock is out with a shin problem, meaning another start for Luke Young at left back.

Despite achilles problems, Stillyan Petrov will continue to skipper the side from the centre of midfield.

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp will bring Ledley King back into the starting XI in place of Sebastien Bassong, although fellow central defender Michael Dawson will continue as captain.

In Aaron Lennon’s continuing absence, David Bentley will be given another opportunity to shine on the right of midfield.

Definitely out are striker Roman Pavyluchenko who has a groin injury and left back Benoit Assou-Ekotto, who has a similar problem. Assou-Ekotto’s place will be taken by Gareth Bale.

New loan signing Eidur Gudjohnsen will be in the squad, but Jermain Defoe and Peter Crouch will start upfront for Spurs.

KICK-OFF: SATURDAY FEBRUARY 6th 17: 30 GMT
