Tottenham XI vs Leeds: Confirmed starting lineup, team news and injury latest for Premier League today

Oliver Skipp and Rodrigo Bentancur both miss today’s early kick-off between Tottenham and Leeds, as Antonio Conte searches for a vital win for the capital club.

Harry Winks and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg start in the centre of the park, with Bentancur sidelined with an ankle complaint and Skipp still recovering from an infection.

The biggest question for Conte was at wing-back, where both Emerson Royal and Ryan Sessegnon were disappointing in the 1-0 defeat to Burnley on Wednesday.

Sergio Reguilon returns to the bench after overcoming Covid, while Dejan Kulusevski starts in attack with Matt Doherty at wing-back on the right.

“Kulusevski is another player who can play in this role, and give us quality, and can be also a good solution for us in this position,” Conte had said on Friday.

The back four, including goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, remains unchanged. Japhet Tanganga also remains sidelined with a knee problem but Pierluigi Gollini returns to the bench after illness.

Tottenham XI: Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Doherty, Winks, Hojbjerg, Sessegnon; Kulusevski, Son, Kane.

Subs: Austin, Emerson, Reguilon, Rodon, Sanchez, White, Devine, Bergwijn, Scarlett.
