Hugo Lloris GK vs. Emiliano Martínez GK
In Hugo Lloris, Tottenham has a steady, experienced goalkeeper between the sticks. The French international is prone to the occasional mistake, however, with two errors leading directly to goals this season. He faces an Aston Villa attack that has several players who excel at turning opposing keepers’ mistakes into scores. Watkins and Luiz, in particular, are adept at pouncing on any spill or poor clearance from the keeper. If Lloris has one of his shaky days, Villa could capitalize.
For Villa, Emiliano Martínez is coming off consecutive clean sheets as he rounds into form. After allowing three goals in three separate matches this season, he has locked down defensively as of late. He plays behind a defense that has had trouble limiting quality chances, which Tottenham has excelled at producing. Son has shown a lethal ability to finish the slightest opening this season. Martínez will need to stay alert and hope his backline can limit Tottenham’s service into the final third.
