Tottenham Hotspur play their final game of the season this afternoon as they take on Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

Spurs were dire in their 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa in midweek and now need to come up with something a lot better today.

This is likely to be Ryan Mason’s final game in charge of Tottenham, at least for now, as a permanent manager should arrive this summer.

Mason may make some changes for today’s game, and here’s our predicted lineup for today’s clash with the Champions League-chasing Foxes…

Hugo Lloris is Tottenham’s undoubted first-choice goalkeeper, and should start once again this afternoon.

Japhet Tanganga is out of action, but we’re backing £13.4m man Matt Doherty to be given the nod ahead of Serge Aurier at right back.

Eric Dier struggled in midweek and should be dropped, but he looks likely to keep his place alongside Toby Alderweireld.

Sergio Reguilon is woefully out of form right now, but with Ben Davies still out, Mason may have no other option than to start the Spaniard again.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg plays regularly and should start again, and we’re backing Tanguy Ndombele to finally get a start today.

Dele Alli would stay as the number 10, with Son Heung-min and Steven Bergwijn flanking Harry Kane in attack.

That means Harry Winks would end up on the bench, joining the likes of Joe Hart, Serge Aurier, Davinson Sanchez, Giovani Lo Celso, Moussa Sissoko, Lucas Moura and Gareth Bale.
