Tottenham confirmed team vs Leeds United: Pedro Porro comes in as Hojbjerg and Perisic miss out

Ryan Mason has made one change to the Tottenham Hotspur side that will end their Premier League campaign at Leeds United on Sunday.

Spurs' top four hopes vanished weeks ago and now their only hope of continental football next season lies with the Europa Conference League. However, to qualify for that they need to win at Elland Road - no small task as they have not won outside London since October - and hope Aston Villa cannot beat Brighton at home at the same time.

Mason will be looking to recapture what Spurs did well in an impressive first half against Brentford with his favoured 4-2-3-1 formation and eradicate the mistakes they made in the second period in the defeat against Thomas Frank's side.

In that first half Dejan Kulusevski impressed in his favoured number 10 role while Son Heung-min and Arnaut Danjuma brought energy down the flanks. Mason would have been tempted to bring in the battling tendencies of Richarlison for this game in what will be a noisy atmosphere but he has made a different change with Pedro Porro coming in on the right.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is back from injury but had not made the squad, with Oliver Skipp and Yves Bissouma continuing together in the centre of the pitch. Elsewhere, with Cristian Romero still out injured for Spurs and Ivan Perisic also missing out, the rest of the team picks itself.

Young attacker Yago Santiago makes his first appearance in a matchday squad after a season of development with the U21s along with George Abbott and Matthew Craig.

Here's the starting XI Mason has selected:

Forster; Emerson, Sanchez, Lenglet, Davies; Bissouma, Skipp; Porro, Kulusevski, Son; Kane. Subs: Austin, Abbott, Tanganga, Craig, Sarr, Santiago, Danjuma, Richarlison, Lucas.
