Tottenham are back in action on Saturday when they take on a resurgent Leeds United at home.

It has been a tricky fortnight or so for Spurs, who have won just two of their last seven games across all competitions. Antonio Conte’s men were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Nottingham Forest during the week, and that added to a Premier League defeat to Liverpool last weekend. Spurs are now fourth in the table, three points ahead of Manchester United, who have a game in hand to play.

This clash will be the final one for each side before the more than month-long World Cup break takes hold, so both teams will be desperate to go out with a bang.

Leeds also lost in the Carabao Cup during the week, but as far as the Premier League is concerned, they have won each of their last two. They defeated Liverpool at Anfield, and they then came from 3-1 down to defeat AFC Bournemouth 4-3 last weekend. The Whites suffered a real wobble recently, but those wins have eased pressure on Jesse Marsch and taken them up to 12th in the table.

Ahead of this game, Richarlison has returned for Tottenham, coming off the bench during the week. It will be interesting to see if he is risked from the start given his recent injury and the fact he is set to leave for the World Cup next week. It’s a second offensive boost for Spurs, who welcomed back Dejan Kulisevski last weekend.

Elsewhere, Cristian Romero and Son Heung-min will both miss out, while Ryan Sessegnon is a doubt after picking up a knock during the cup clash mid-week.

As for Leeds, Stuart Dallas is still battling a long-term injury, while Luis Sinisterra is also sidelined. There are doubts over Archie Gray, Adam Forshaw and Patrick Bamford, though the latter could well return on time to feature.
