'Juicy lineup! - Excited Tottenham fans react to what Jose Mourinho has done against Leicester

Jose Mourinho's team selection for this afternoon's Premier League fixture against Leicester City has got a number of Tottenham fans talking.

Spurs go into the game on the back of two away league games without a win.

Seven days ago, Tottenham were held to a 1-1 draw by London rivals Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park and then lost top spot in the table thanks to a 2-1 loss against Liverpool.

However, the Lilywhites have been impressive at home of late.

Wins over Manchester City and Arsenal were achieved with less possession, but with clean sheets in both, and Mourinho's side have the joint-best defensive record across the entire division.

But in an attempt to get his side back on the winning trail and move back above Everton into second place, Mourinho has made changes to the side which started against Liverpool.

Two to be exact.

As expected, Sergio Reguilon and Tanguy Ndombele return to the starting XI as Ben Davies and Steven Bergwijn make way.

The latter duo are named on a strong substitutes bench that also includes Gareth Bale, Matt Doherty and Harry Winks, but there's no space in the matchday squad for Dele Alli.

Most of the reaction from Spurs supporters on social media has centered around the inclusion of Ndombele and Giovani Lo Celso in the lineup.

Take a look at some of the best responses on Twitter...
