Tottenham predicted team vs Leeds: Steven Bergwijn starts as Jose Mourinho makes four changes

Jose Mourinho is likely to change things up this afternoon when Tottenham return to Premier League action against Leeds United.

Without a win in their last four Premier League games, the Spurs team should be feeling nice and fresh following the decision to postpone Wednesday's match at home to Fulham.

Mourinho will be hoping a few days without a game is exactly what the team need as they look to win in the league for the first time since the north London derby victory over Arsenal at the start of December.

However, it certainly won't be easy with Leeds United arriving in N17 on the back of a stunning 5-0 triumph at West Brom.

So what team will Mourinho select against the West Yorkshire club this afternoon?

Well, first of all the head coach may decide to shake things up in terms of his formation after opting for a back three and wing-backs at Wolves.

If he indeed does revert to four at the back then it could mean Ben Davies is the unlucky man to miss out as Sergio Reguilon is likely to get the nod at left-back.

Serge Aurier and Toby Alderweireld could also come back into the side after both missing out on selection at Stoke and Wolves either side of Christmas.

Moussa Sissoko will likely come back into midfield to partner Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg as Harry Winks makes way after two starts, while the boss will then have to decide between Steven Bergwijn and Erik Lamela for a place in attack alongside Harry Kane and Son Heung-min.

Mourinho revealed in his pre-match press conference that both Lucas Moura and Carlos Vinicius are expected to be back after their absence at Wolves, but both will no doubt have to settle for a place on the bench.

Here is the team we reckon Mourinho will select to face Leeds:

(4-2-3-1) Lloris; Aurier, Alderweireld, Dier, Reguilon; Sissoko, Hojbjerg; Bergwijn, Ndombele, Son; Kane.
