Tottenham vs Leeds lineups: Starting XIs, confirmed team news, injury latest today
Ryan Mason has stuck with Tottenham’s ‘fab four’ forward line of Harry Kane, Gareth Bale, Heung-min Son and Dele Alli against Leeds following last weekend’s 4-0 win over Sheffield United.
The interim head coach has more options available, though, after revealing that Tanguy Ndombele and Lucas Moura had trained fully this week, having had knocks before the Blades’ visit.
With Ben Davies continuing to nurse a calf problem and still Spurs’s only absentee, Mason sticks with the same XI.
“Lucas picked up a knock in the cup final,” Mason said.
“It was just a knock, a boney thing and it just needed a couple of days to settle down. Then also Tanguy had a bit of a muscle problem, so he only trained the day before the game, but they’ve trained all week now.
“They’ve had no problems. No one has had any problems this week apart from Ben, who hasn’t trained so that was the only concern last week but this week there’s been no problems at all.”
Leeds are also unchanged from the defeat at Brighton.
