Sniff of a chance for Kane, but Mings does enough to put him off.
12'
Spurs are understandably shellshoccked here. Sissoko tries a through ball but it comes to nothing.
9'
GOOOOOOOAAAAALLLLL! Completely against the run of play, John McGinn gives Villa the lead! Mings' long ball bamboozles Rose, the Scot keeps his composure with a great finish. 0-1.

Bizarrely, Lamela shoots. What a waste.
7'
Free kick in a great position for Spurs after Neil Taylor fouls Kyle Walker-Peters.
5'
CHANCE! Again, Spurs threaten on the left as Rose's cross finds Lucas. He heads straight at Heaton, trying to find the corner. Good start for the hosts.
3'
Spurs look to get in down the left again, with Alderweireld finding Danny Rose, but his cross was straight at Heaton. Villa need to watch that.
1'
Straight away there is a chance for Lucas Moura, who drives in from the left and shoots over.

Here we go! Villa get us underway here!
17:28
There is a minute's applause for Justin Edinburgh, former Spurs player and Leyton Orient boss, who died this summer. RIP.
17:25
The players are entering the pitch, handshakes underway. Five minutes until kick off.
17:21
Here's Poch's full pre-match thoughts.
17:15
NO injury for Vertonghen, says Poch. Tactical choice is the reason he isn't involved.
17:15
15 MINUTES until kick off. What is everyone thinking?
17:08
Aston Villa need to aim for survival this season, but it should be remembered that they are the FIFTH highest spenders in Europe. It'll be very interesting to see how they'll get on.
17:01
Is this the best time for Villa to play Spurs? A weakened home side without Alli, Vertonghen, Eriksen and Son. A few surprising results today... any chance of a shock? The visitors are something of an unknown quantity.

16:52
Spurs are starting their first full season at their new stadium. All the talking will stop soon...
16:47
Villa have arrived. They're ready!
16:46
If you're a Villa fan, you have to be excited to see Jack Grealish captaining the club this afternoon. He and John McGinn will be a threat today. How will Wesley get on?
16:41
Spurs will also be hoping Harry Kane can break his scoring duck in August. Fatigue shouldn't be a problem, the England captain has had a much longer holiday this year than usual.
