Deep dives
Tottenham's upcoming game against Aston Villa
Tottenham will face Aston Villa in a crucial Premier League match. With just a few points separating the two teams in the table, a win for Spurs would push them further into the top four. It's an opportunity for Tottenham to bounce back after their recent defeats and show their attacking intent. Changing the midfield to include players like Bensonkeng and Lo Celso could provide the necessary creative spark to break through Villa's defense. With Villa's mixed away form, Tottenham will aim to capitalize on their home advantage and secure a positive result.
Rodrigo Bensonkeng's opportunity to start for Tottenham
Rodrigo Bensonkeng has recently gained more playing time and is in a good position to start for Tottenham in their upcoming game against Aston Villa. After gradually building up his fitness through substitute appearances, Bensonkeng is now ready to make a greater impact on the pitch. With some impressive performances for Uruguay during the international break, Bensonkeng has shown his readiness to start games. Tottenham must take advantage of his attacking prowess and include him in the starting lineup.
Giovani Lo Celso's potential role in the team
Giovani Lo Celso's recent performances for Argentina have highlighted his importance to the national team. However, Lo Celso has struggled to find consistent playing time at Tottenham. With injuries affecting the squad, Lo Celso has the opportunity to prove his worth and secure a spot in the starting lineup. His creativity and ability to contribute in the final third make him a valuable asset for Tottenham. It's crucial for Spurs to give him a chance and benefit from his contributions against Aston Villa.
Desmond Dogu's return to the Tottenham defense
After serving a suspension and recovering from a muscle injury, Desmond Dogu is expected to return to Tottenham's defense. Dogu's absence was felt in previous matches, highlighting his importance to the team's defensive stability. With his attacking runs and defensive prowess, Dogu provides a valuable presence on the left side. His return against Villa will strengthen Tottenham's defensive line and contribute to their overall performance.
