Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa will hand three players their debuts in Monday night's Premier League clash.

Roman Pavlyuchenko is expected to start upfront with Darren Bent with fellow striker Frasier Campbell on the bench.

It is highly unlikley that Pavlyuchenko will complete 90 minutes with England under-21 international Campbell expected to feature at some point.

Meanwhile Aston Villa defender Carlos Cuellar has shaken off a calf injury and could be in contention for his debut following his £7.8m signing from Rangers last month.

Villa winger James Milner could also start for the first time since his £12million switch from Newcastle after being a substitute during the goalless draw with Liverpool a fortnight ago.
