Aston Villa team news as Johan Manzambi handed full Premier League debut | OneFootball

According to ExpressAndStar.com, Johan Manzambi makes his full Premier League debut for Aston Villa at Tottenham, with Joao Gomes returning, as Unai Emery’s side play their final match before the international break.

The £51 million summer signing from Freiburg replaces George Hemmings from the previous league game. Gomes is back after a three-match ban for a red card on debut at Brighton last month, taking Ross Barkley’s place in midfield.

Manzambi missed the start of the season with a knee injury sustained while playing for Switzerland at the World Cup. He featured for the first time in last weekend’s defeat to Nottingham Forest, then came off the bench in the midweek Carabao Cup win at Coventry.

Villa line-up, 4-2-3-1: Suzuki, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Mings, Ruggeri, Gomes, Kamara, McGinn, Manzambi, Jackson. Bench: Cash, Harwood-Bellis, Barkley, Garnacho, Abraham, Mbaye, Bogarde, Hemmings, Wright (gk).

Villa are still seeking their first league win of the season, while Tottenham are yet to score.
