Predicted Tottenham XI to play Leeds: Harry Winks starts

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte will go in search of his first Premier League win since taking over the club this afternoon.

Spurs take on Leeds United on home soil and the former Chelsea manager will want to kick-start his tenure.

The international break will have given him plenty of time to focus on his new charges as he’ll now be keen to hit the ground running.

Leeds are struggling this term and today represents a good chance to get three points on the board.

Ahead of today’s clash, we looked at how Conte could line his Tottenham team up today.

Predicted Tottenham team to play Leeds:

Tottenham fans had better get used to playing with three central defenders as Conte typically prefers such a style.

Ben Davies played well last time out as part of a three-man defence and he will start on the left.

Davinson Sanchez and Eric Dier will likely make up the three alongside the Wales international.

In goal, Hugo Lloris will play and captain the side.

Conte has some problems in midfield. Oliver Skipp is suspended, whilst Pierre Emile-Hojbjerg has a knock.

The hope was that the Danish international would be able to train on Friday and that would be a massive bonus.

If he does start, it could be alongside Harry Winks.

The academy graduate can enjoy a new lease of life under Conte and the £90,000-a-week player will be desperate to prove a point.

Ex-Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino called the midfielder ‘amazing’ in the past but his career has gone south since his departure.

At wing-back expect Emerson Royal and Sergio Reguilon to play at right and left wing-back respectively.

Harry Kane will be buoyed by his heroics for England as he bagged seven goals from two World Cup qualifiers.

He will lead the line and will look to get himself among the goals in the Premier League once more.

Behind him, Son Heung-min will almost certainly start.

Making up the three-pronged attack will be Lucas Moura who will be hoping to prove himself to the new boss.
