Victor Lindelöf focused on Spurs test ahead of Saturday trip

Victor Lindelöf has set his sights on Saturday's Premier League trip to face Tottenham Hotspur, with Aston Villa publishing a pre-match update from the defender today.

The club's official channels carried the piece under the heading of Lindelöf looking forward to the Spurs challenge, as Unai Emery's side prepare for a 12:30 UK time kick-off at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Villa head into the fixture buoyed by Wednesday night's 3-1 League Cup victory over Coventry City at the Coventry Building Society Arena, a result that followed a mixed run in the league and Europe earlier in the month.

Saturday's opponents will provide a different examination after a schedule that has already taken Villa to Hull City and Club Brugge, as well as home matches against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest.

Lindelöf is among a reshaped defensive group following a busy summer window, which saw arrivals including Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Aaron Wan-Bissaka alongside departures such as Ezri Konsa and Lucas Digne.

With the transfer window now closed until January 2027, the focus shifts entirely to integrating the current squad across four competitions during a demanding opening period.
