Antonio Conte has brought fresh legs into his Tottenham Hotspur team as they complete the first phase of the fragmented Premier League season with the visit of Leeds United.
Spurs want to get back to winning ways and sign off before the World Cup break in front of their fans in a positive manner after the Premier League defeat to Liverpool and the midweek loss at Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup. Conte is without the injured Son Heung-min, Cristian Romero and Ryan Sessegnon, but has a couple of his key attacking players now fit enough to start for him.
Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison both start to boost a tired attack with Harry Kane as Conte returns to his favoured 3-4-3.

Hugo Lloris returns in goal while Ben Davies, who was not in the squad against Forest, is back in a back three with Davinson Sanchez dropping out. Yves Bissouma is the man to drop out of the midfield in the changed formation.
Sessegnon's injury means Ivan Perisic steps back into the left wing-back slot, and Conte has chosen the fresh Emerson Royal ahead of Matt Doherty and Djed Spence, who impressed in a cameo from the bench against Forest, for the job on the right.
Here is the Tottenham team Conte has gone for:
Lloris; Dier, Lenglet, Davies; Emerson, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Perisic; Kulusevski, Kane, Richarlison. Subs: Forster, Sanchez, Tanganga, Spence, Doherty, Bissouma, Skipp, Gil, Lucas.
