Antonio Conte needs fresh legs in his Tottenham Hotspur team as they end the first phase of the Premier League season with the visit of Leeds United.
Spurs are looking to get back to winning ways and sign off before the World Cup break in a positive manner after the Premier League defeat to Liverpool and then the woeful midweek loss at Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup. Conte will be without the injured Son Heung-min, Cristian Romero and Ryan Sessegnon, but will be hoping that a couple of his key attacking players are now fit enough to start for him.
Those two attackers are Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison, with both coming off the bench for half an hour against Forest and the former having already made a substitute appearance against Liverpool. Conte needs them both to boost a tired attack featuring a jaded Harry Kane this week and return to his favoured 3-4-3.

Hugo Lloris will return in goal while Ben Davies, who was not in the squad against Forest, could return to the back three with Davinson Sanchez dropping out. If Conte goes with a front three then Yves Bissouma is likely to be the man to drop out of the midfield.
Sessegnon's injury means Ivan Perisic will step back into the left wing-back slot, and then Conte must choose between the fresh Emerson Royal, Matt Doherty and Djed Spence, who impressed in a cameo from the bench against Forest, for the job on the right.
Here is the Tottenham team we reckon Conte will go for:
3-4-3: Lloris; Dier, Lenglet, Davies; Emerson, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Perisic; Kulusevski, Kane, Richarlison.
