Antonio Conte could hand Emerson Royal new Tottenham role vs Leicester that impacts Pedro Porro

Following Sunday's brilliant 1-0 win over Man City, Antonio Conte and Tottenham will be forced into one change this weekend when they travel to Leicester City. While many head coaches would have stuck with the same team going on how well they performed against the reigning champions, Cristian Romero's dismissal for two bookable offences in the closing stages means he will have to watch on from the stands.

Luckily for Conte and Tottenham, the centre-back will only miss the one game as a straight red card would have seen the World Cup winner pick up a three-match ban. So, with Romero now suspended for the trip to the King Power Stadium, Spurs must decide on their ideal replacement for the match.

Davinson Sanchez will be the favourite to come straight into the team as he has done over the course of the campaign when his teammates has been absent. The Colombian did in fact play very well in the recent FA Cup win over Preston North End and the boss will probably be keen to reward him with an opportunity in the Premier League.
