Spurs v Leeds team news: Gelhardt starts as Raphinha and Rodrigo miss out

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.

    Is Dele Alli an idiot?

    1. AzzaroMax99
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yup

    2. Hooky

      He once flew his barber to America so that he could get a haircut on a preseason tour...

      1. Brehmeren
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        And now his barber doesn't even pick up the phone. Apparently.

        1. Hooky
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          It certainly looks like it

    3. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Obviously

  2. AzzaroMax99

    Who is better Watford option: Dennis or King?
    Thinking to ditch Antonio for one of those two. Cornet also tempting but his fixtuers are not very nice.
    Other two attackers are Kane and Wilson.

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Ditch Kane not Antonio imo

      1. Prison Mike
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Could of easily had a brace today? Goals are coming I think

        1. Kun Tozser
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Would 100% stay away from all Spurs assets

      2. AzzaroMax99
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Just got Kane. Have to stick with him for a few weeks.

    2. Prison Mike
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      King could be on pens after the double pen miss from Sarr

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      King starts more, could be on pens after those Sarr attempts & central.

      Dennis has been a super sub on a few occasions & is a YC magnet. Just happens to be a very effective sub of late.

    4. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      King and Dennis great value but tricky fixtures coming up

      1. AzzaroMax99
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I can play 4-4-2 sometimes and bench one of them but if King is on pens, he can get points anytime. Watford seems to be more dangerous now.

        1. Stranger Mings
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Leicester next who could concede then 2 tricky games then ok so could be worth the gamble

  3. Prison Mike
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Exact cash… worth a -8?

    Rudiger, Raphinha, Ronaldo -> TAA, Jota, Kane

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Good long term moves

    2. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Nope

    3. Fish up a tree

    Would've like to see Harry Kane vs Harry Maguire in a 100 metres sprint. Might take half an hour to complete but would be worth the watch.

  13. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    No link up between Kane and Son. Remember them last season, what happened. Kanes has been brutal, looks wrecked

  14. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Kane hospital touch denies himself an assist...

  15. Rainer

  16. SEXY SON
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I don’t care what you say about opposition, Kane’s touch is not the same for Spurs as it is England!

  17. SEXY SON
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Alli ruining Kane assist

    1. Postman Ty
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Kane ruined his own assist a minute prior.

      1. SEXY SON
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

  21. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    4 weeks ago I brought in Mbeumo, Son and Vardy for - 8.

    Among my worst ever transfers

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      For -8, probably. Unlucky also.

  23. TorresMagic™

  24. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    5-4-1 is the way

  25. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Kane knackered himself scoring all those goals against the pub teams

  26. Postman Ty
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I love how Alli's reaction to thinking he was offside but wanting to continue was to pass it to another player very clearly offside.

  27. Duke Silver ☑

    Embarrassing from Conte there. It's a weakened Leeds side you clown.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Got to put on a show

      He knows how bad it is

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Actually yes. After gotting booed after HT, show was needed.

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A win is a win

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Come on man. Spurs are a team in desperate need of encouragement how little or small. His reaction will mean the world to the players. Nothing to do with Leeds.

  28. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Leeds are better than San Marino after all.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Not bad for the reserves.

  29. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Conte has been spurs best performer.

  30. PartyTime
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Oof. Kane & Son blank. Love to see it?!

    Oh, yes I do!
