We believe that Hugo Lloris will return between the sticks against Leeds, despite Fraser Forster’s positive performance against Nottingham Forest in the cup on Wednesday.

Ben Davies also returns to the XI, with Clement Lenglet and Eric Dier shifting over to fill the central sweeper and right-centre-back roles respectively. Davinson Sanchez drops to the bench.

Ivan Perisic moves back to left-wing-back following the knock Ryan Sessegnon picked up against Forest, while Emerson Royal starts at right-wing-back.

In the middle, it’s somewhat of a return to norm for Conte and Tottenham with the two-man partnership of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancur.

And up front, Conte is able to call on his two recent returnees after they both came off the bench against Forest, with Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison making the starting XI. Of course, Harry Kane leads the line as he has in every game this season.
