Premier League: 10 things to look out for this weekend

What happens when a very stoppable force meets an extremely movable object?

The return of Pedro Porro is big for Roberto De Zerbi and that should bring the Archie Gray Experiment at right-back to a merciful end. No Premier League starting XI feels less settled than Spurs – most players look as if they are a mistake or two from being dropped – which has culminated in a side that seems governed by fear and continuously prefers to take the safe option.

After coming off the bench against Everton and Liverpool in the past week, the injury-plagued James Maddison will be itching to start and take some sort of initiative for Tottenham. Michael Butler, Tottenham v Aston Villa, Saturday 3pm
