Tottenham team confirmed vs Leicester: Winks starts with Hojbjerg and Skipp as Reguilon returns

Antonio Conte has kept faith with many of the players who lost to Chelsea as Tottenham Hotspur travel to Leicester City on Wednesday evening.

Injuries have forced Conte into making certain decisions with his Tottenham Hotspur side to face Leicester City on Wednesday in the Premier League and he has made just three changes from the Carabao Cup clash the previous week.

Spurs ' north London derby against Arsenal on Sunday was postponed meaning that as one positive some players on their way back from injury have had more time to recover and Sergio Reguilon returns to the line-up.

Steven Bergwijn is also back on the bench following his recovery from injury.

Conte has decided on Harry Winks to make up a midfield trio with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Oliver Skipp behind Harry Kane and Lucas Moura.

Cristian Romero is gradually taking more and more of a part in training after his long absence but the head coach said they had to be calm about bringing him back and he will not be back until after the upcoming break.

Eric Dier misses out though injury and the back three of Japhet Tanganga, Davinson Sanchez and Ben Davies start again together.

Tanguy Ndombele remains out of the squad while 17-year-old striker Dane Scarlett is on the bench.

Here is the team that we reckon Conte will choose to face Brendan Rodgers' side:

Lloris; Tanganga, Sanchez, Davies; Emerson, Skipp, Winks, Hojbjerg, Reguilon; Lucas, Kane.

Subs: Gollini, Doherty, Rodon, Sessegnon, Lo Celso, Alli, Bergwijn, Gil, Scarlett.
