Sunday’s Premier League action continues in north London as Tottenham Hotspur host Leeds United.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

Antonio Conte makes two changes to his starting XI, with Japhet Tanganga (£4.3m) and Harry Winks (£4.4m) coming in for Cristian Romero (£4.9m) and Oliver Skipp (£4.5m), who miss out through injury and suspension respectively.

Harry Kane (£12.2m), fresh from scoring seven goals in two games for England, leads the line and will be flanked by Son Heung-min (£10.4m) and Lucas Moura (£6.4m) in a 3-4-3 formation.

For Leeds, Raphinha (£6.7m) is ill and Rodrigo (£6.3m) has a minor foot injury. As a result, Joe Gelhardt (£4.5m) makes his first Premier League start, while Mateusz Klich (£5.4m) will be deployed in the more advanced midfield role.

Patrick Bamford (£7.7m), Luke Ayling (£4.3m), Jamie Shackleton (£4.5m) and Robin Koch (£4.3m) all remain out.

Tottenham XI: Lloris, Tanganga, Dier, Davies, Royal, Hojbjerg, Winks, Reguilon, Moura, Son, Kane

Subs: Doherty, Sanchez, Gil, Rodon, Sessegnon, Alli, Gollini, Bergwijn, Ndombele

Leeds XI: Meslier, Dallas, Llorente, Cooper, Struijk, Phillips, Forshaw, Klich, James, Harrison, Gelhardt

Subs: Firpo, Roberts, Klaesson, Cresswell, Drameh, McKinstry, Greenwood, McCarron, Jenkins

    When Conte daid he wanted Kane to stay in the box, well he didnt specify which box did he...

    1. Grounderz
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Think he meant circle. Not box. And Kane's doing great now in the centre of the park.

  2. Steve The Spud

    Kane used to be brilliant at holding the ball up

    This system would work well because he’d either turn and pick a pass or bully the CB who got tight to him

    Nowa days he just falls over whenever he gets a bit of pressure applied to him

    Raphinha not playing is great, for me.
    Toney comes in with his 6 points and keeps me top of my mini league and H2H.

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty sure Raph would've scored more than 6 points had he started here.

      1. kellamergh
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Could've but may not have.
        The 6 points is still enough for me to pull away.

        1. kellamergh
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I'm not watching the game, by the way.
          No idea what the game is like. I'm at work and, currently, on my break.

          1. Ze_Austin
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Leeds toying with, outrunning and out-pressing Spurs for most of the first half, but all their finishers are injured

    2. NotsoSpursy
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I’ll take the 6 points 🙂

  4. Lord of Ings

    Well locked early transfers in to avoid being priced out
    How’s this looking for next week?

    Everton vs Spurs in GW11

    *wipes glasses*

    Sorry, Spurs vs Leeds in GW12

    Identical performances

  6. Rainer

    A bit of unpredictability & creativity is badly needed from Ndombele if Conte doesn't want Kane involved in build-ups. Could see Son even more central if Lucas had to make way.

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      3-4-1-2 is screaming. Ndombele nailed, Lo Celso backup, Alli if the worst happens

      If he insists on 3-4-3, let Kane drop deep

      Those wingbacks are nowhere near creative enough in the EPL

      Please, Conte. I own Son. I need this attack to click

  7. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    You know the games boring when the commentary keep pushing stats from 1930’s at you!

  8. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is it just me or Son looking lost in this system?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      The whole attack does

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Kane still more involved

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          He is but still going deep

    2. Under my Cucurella
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I was just thinking this. He doesn't seem hungry at all either, not making many runs and walking most of the time. Should have gone with Kane he at least looks like he's trying

    3. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      They need to drop moura and change to a front 2

  9. JBG
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I find it odd that Moura gets picked over Bergwijn. Is he that bad for Spurs?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      On the evidence thus far Him and moura are 2 of a kind, headless with little end product - moura has at least shown he’s got a goal in him but I think stevie B will get more chances

  10. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    MMA move on the ref 🙂

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Bout time someone put Marriner in his place.

  11. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Spurs v Leeds looking more like an advert for league 2 football.

  12. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Son, Jesus, Townsend owner.

    Sad times.

  13. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Foden > Jota?

    1. NotsoSpursy
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yep

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, no brainer because Foden got 1 point and Jota scored.

      1. Gandalf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Foden not been much of a threat recently and the one haul he had was lucky. Hardly inspiring confidence with a team around him all of who can score themselves

  14. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    How did Pochetino do so well with this Spurs team?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      They had creativity with Eriksen

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Ah good point, was Ndombele supposed to be the replacement for that?

      2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Dembele made the real difference. Just nobody really noticed

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Wasn’t this team

      That team had jan and toby at CB and a prime Danny rose and Kyle Walker/trippier on the flanks

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        True so poor succession, downfall of many a team.

    3. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Eriksen, bale, van der vaart

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Bale and VDV had both left before he joined.

  15. hueycho
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Spurs r awful to watch..so bad..

    1. Grounderz
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      They're doing all right. They're trying to get forward but Leeds is making it difficult for them.

  16. It's Fergie Time
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I was going to bring in Kane next week, but if he can't score vs Leeds.....

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Save your money, why pay more

  17. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Reguillon wtf

  18. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Jota and BSilva

    1. jonnybhoy
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Or*

  19. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Reggy Reggy blind.

  20. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Maybe time to start C defenders?

    1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Never!

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Salah still exists

      He's still somehow on a higher PPM than Chilwell

  21. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Wow Reggie wtf was that

  22. Fish up a tree
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Manager bounce

    Gerrard tick
    Ranieri tick
    Smith tick
    Howe tick (showed some fight, 3 goals & a point is a tick for them!)
    Conte more bounce from a sack of shiiite!

  23. Gudjohnsen
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Leeds not as bad as I thpught they would be.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs really helping in that case.

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      This team would be destroyed by a top class team let’s be honest

      They are missing their best playera

    3. Tomerick
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Race to the bottom

  24. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Lloris worried

  25. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Great clearance by that guy

  26. Tomerick
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Really impressed with Raphinha so far. He’s got me 14 points already!

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      That’s twice now Tom, that’s enough

      1. Tomerick
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Dang

  27. BrockLanders
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    How's Reggy doing??

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Getting in good positions, not getting final pass or able to play it himself, yet.

  28. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    42 mins & there are no highlights on SkyQ 🙂 🙂

  29. tyron
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Which one makes most sense.. in a position where I feel like cancelo is now more than essential but not sure if losing Ronaldo is the right thing now..

    No hit move is havertz to Jota
    And Hit moves are

    A - Havertz to cornet/moura to facilitate Williams to cancelo

    B - Ronaldo to jimi havertz to son

    C - Ronaldo to jimi Williams to cancelo.

    Which one guys?

  30. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    4 years, 1 month ago

    Leeds good def numbers of late not just a fluke I don’t think, they are playing noticeably more tight since all their injuries. Can’t really rush forward and leave a bunch of space when you don’t even have any good attacking players to play, this is the only way they can get results atm

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn’t work v Liverpool or Chelsea
