    Tottenham 0-0 Aston Villa

    It's been a very quiet opening period for Spurs. Harry Kane hasn't touched the ball at all yet.

    Lucas Digne brings down Matt Doherty right on the edge of the area and the crowd are shouting for something to be given but the referee is having none of it.

    Tottenham 0-0 Aston Villa

    Spurs have had two throw-ins in the space of about 20 seconds and both have gone backwards. They're clearly looking to just get their foot on the ball in this game.

    Doherty's turn was really nice, unfortunately he just don't have enough time to get a shot away and it's a good block.

    Oooh Matt Doherty does really well there. He picks up the ball on the edge of the area and it's a lovely bit of skill to get away from the defender.

    But Boubacar Kamara anticipates the shot well and just manages to get the block in.

    Nick: Desperate for a Spurs clean sheet but can't see it happening. 3-1 if we play like I know we can. Nervous times ahead if we don't support Conte with transfers though.

    It's all a bit flat from Spurs so far.

    Antonio Conte is barking orders from the touchline.

    Watkins is onside by a long way and the shot was pretty poor for a player of his quality. He hooks it towards the goal.

    You just feel if he got that shot on target it would have really troubled Lloris.

    First real attempt of the game as Ollie Watkins marauds down the wing and loses his man to cut inside the box. He's a bit off balance and goes for the shot but pulls it well wide.

    Tottenham 0-0 Aston Villa

    Cristian Romero gives away a free-kick on the edge of Aston Villa's penalty area as the visitors try to play out from the back.

    Risky stuff.

    Leon Bailey is still shaking his knee, his right knee. It seems like he is maybe worried about straining a ligament or something.

    Tottenham 0-0 Aston Villa

    Leon Bailey does well down the right-hand side and sends in a cross but it's a white shirt that manages to get a head to it.

    Spurs haven't really got into this yet.

  13. Postpublished at 4 mins

    Tottenham 0-0 Aston Villa

    Aston Villa largely playing in Spurs' half so far and the home side seem pretty happy to let them do so.

    Son Heung-min manages to get a break away ball but Leon Bailey brings him down and it's a frustrated challenge from the Jamaica winger who also hobbles away.

    With Kane and Son up top you’ve got to be concerned about Mings and Konsa. You can bet your life there’s been some penalty practice from one H Kane since his return as well.

    Ashley Young goes for the shot from some way out but it's blocked easily by Son Heung-min.

    Aston Villa getting forward early on. Leon Bailey pings a ball across to Lucas Digne but Spurs manage to get a foot on it.

    Yves Bissouma gives away a free-kick close to the halfway line.

    The Spurs line up seems a bit experimental. A little bit of trying to find a combination, certainly in defence, that is going to give Spurs the best start. They have struggled with starting off being solid at the back, they've conceded too many early goals this season. I feel Antonio Conte is still looking for the right combination.

    We'll have a moment of silence before kick-off to remember the legend that is Pele, who died earlier this week.

    Tottenham v Aston Villa (14:00 GMT)

    We're about ready to go in the first Premier League match of 2023 as the teams make their way out onto the pitch.

    Spurs will go above Manchester United and into the top four with a win while Aston Villa are 12th in the table and a win wouldn't budge their position, but it would put some distance between them and the chasing pack.
