It should be a great game between the two newly promoted teams.

They're going to be scrapping it out.

Villa have addressed their goals issue and look threatening, but I think it will be a home win.

Thoughts?

This'll be only Eric Dier second appearance of the season and his first start.

Bayern Munich were very good and Spurs haven't been hitting the heights of last season's Champions League. The second half was bizarre.

Perhaps what we are expecting is a little too much. They hung on to that fourth sport last season ahead of a poor Arsenal side. I think we have to be careful what our expectations are with Spurs.

They reached a Champions League final, but at the end of the day it's a cup competition and if you look at their run it was a cup rollercoaster.

If you lose by that much, something has gone wrong. When you look at the individual performances from that night, there were some shockers.

The group almost looks like they've lost an edge of belief that they can go and win something. Is this group in acceptance that perhaps they won't win a trophy after all this hard work. People are looking at their futures now.

The contract expiring trio - Christian Eriksen, Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen - all start for Spurs.

One change for Brighton. 19-year-old Ireland Under-21 striker Aaron Connolly makes his first Premier League start.

Daniel Levy is at Brighton today. It's an interesting debate where the blame lies at Spurs. Team news coming any minute...

West Ham midfielder Michail Antonio speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Friday Football Social: "You can blame the players and the manager to a certain degree, but I think the majority of the blame has to go to the chairman.

"He's the one that isn't willing to pay. He's the one willing to spend so much on a stadium, he's willing to promote how Tottenham's going to be such a big, powerful club.

But then he's paying little wages. To be fair the wages that half their team is on they should never be on - the majority should be on double what they're on.

The fact is they are not going to stay there and be paid less than they're worth, because they're worth more.

Safe standing will not be trialled in England's top two leagues this season, despite a new report suggesting controlled tests would have value.

The government-commissioned report said more evidence was required before safe standing could be adopted.

Standing in English football's top two tiers is illegal after recommendations made following the 1989 Hillsborough disaster when 96 fans died.

The report by CFE research, commissioned for the Department of Culture for Media and Sport, said new evidence could be gathered but it would require "tolerance within existing policy to trial different standing areas".

It suggested that "randomised control trials could demonstrate impact of alternative accommodation".

My big move this week has been to bring in Andriy Yarmolenko so you may read some exuberant descriptions if he scores later.

That said I'm currently 74th of 78 in our work fantasy league so there's a fair chance he'll score an own goal before getting sent off.

Not long to go until the fantasy football deadline.

Are you flying high? Or just one more bad week away from throwing in the towel for another season?

With another international break just around the corner, it's perhaps time to keep cool and avoid any rash decisions before two weeks of inevitable fantasy football contemplation and re-evaluation.

So, is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang the man? Who should you back for Brendan Rodgers' Anfield return? And what to do about Kevin de Bruyne?

We've tried our best to give you some helpful tips to succeed in gameweek eight - check them out over here.
