Tottenham face Leicester City on Saturday evening and if results go in their favour elsewhere, Spurs could go to the top of the Premier League with a win here.
Spurs will fancy their chances of beating the Foxes. The East Midlands outfit have had a torrid start to this Premier League campaign, and while Spurs have been unconvincing as of late, they remain one of only two unbeaten teams in the English top-flight this term.
After a 2-0 defeat to Sporting in midweek, Antonio Conte will be demanding a performance from his team, and he could ring in the changes here as he looks to spark something within this team.
With that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting the north London club’s starting XI for this one.
We think that Antonio Conte will make three changes to his XI for this one, and he has a big decision to make with one of his star players.
Indeed, Heung-Min Son has been out of sorts since day one this season, and after yet another goalless performance against Sporting, we think it’s probably about time that he’s relegated to the bench in favour of Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski.
Kulusevski hasn’t started for Spurs for a little while now, but his impact off the bench has been undeniable and he more than deserves a start.
There’s also a change in midfield as Oliver Skipp comes in for Rodrigo Bentancur. After all, Conte did state that every player will need rotating during this busy period.
Ivan Perisic retains his spot at left-wing-back, but Matt Doherty comes in on the right after another unconvincing attacking performance from Emerson Royal in the Champions League.
With Leicester yet to win this season, Spurs should be able to compile the misery here and get back on track after a poor midweek showing.
