Tottenham XI vs Leicester City: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup, latest injuries for Premier League

Jose Mourinho named an unnamed side from the north London derby for Wednesday's win over Newcastle, and the manager's formation for the visit of Leicester City is more likely to significantly alter than his personnel after a gritty win on Tyneside.

Mourinho may, however, be forced into a change at right-back, with Serge Aurier currently on the compassionate leave. The Ivorian is expected to return from France in time for Leicester's visit but Japhet Tanganga could deputise having trained in the position this week.

Elsewhere, it is hard to see Mourinho making any changes, with Eric Dier (suspended) and Dele Alli (hamstring) both set to return for the final game of the season against Crystal Palace and Tanguy Ndombele ruled out of the rest of the campaign with a hamstring problem.

The performances of Steven Bergwijn and Erik Lamela, who both earned assists from the bench at St. James' Park, will have given Mourinho food for thought but he values the attrition of Lucas Moura, while Heung-min Son is hitting a vein of form.

In midfield, Giovani Lo Celso is continuing to struggle with a niggling groin problem but should start and be replaced, as against Arsenal and Newcastle.
