Tottenham predicted lineup vs Leicester - Premier League

Have Tottenham entered relegation six-pointer territory?

Ange Postecoglou's squad is down to its bare bones, and they required a mammoth effort to down Germany's 15th-best team in the Europa League on Thursday. A 3-2 win over Hoffenheim was Spurs' third triumph since Christmas, and they remain without a Premier League victory since they thumped Russell Martin's Southampton in mid-December.

All teenagers Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall could do was slump to the turf after Tottenham's Thursday night success was made official, depicting the exhaustion which currently prevails over the Lilywhite camp.

But they must go again. Leicester are a mess despite changing managers and are ripe for picking this weekend. Here's how Tottenham could line up when the Foxes come to town on Sunday.

Tottenham predicted lineup vs Leicester (4-3-3)

GK: Antonin Kinsky - The January arrival cannot yet feature in the Europa League, and although Brandon Austin has acquitted himself well on his two appearances, Kinsky should come back in on Sunday.

RB: Pedro Porro - Teams continue to have success down Porro's flank, but the Spaniard is often overloaded. He needs constant support. The former Sporting CP full-back did show off his value with the ball early in Thursday's win.

CB: Radu Dragusin - Cristian Romero is not yet ready to return to action, so Dragusin will continue his run in the team on Sunday. Jamie Vardy will fancy this duel.

CB: Ben Davies - Despite his experience at left-back, Davies has almost exclusively been used at the heart of Postecoglou's defence.

LB: Djed Spence - Gray needs a rest, and the manager will hope the impressive Spence overcomes his knock to be able to feature against Leicester.

CM: Rodrigo Bentancur - There was some rust in possession, but Bentancur offered plenty of industry at the base of Spurs' midfield in midweek. With Yves Bissouma a doubt, the Uruguayan should get the nod again.

CM: Lucas Bergvall - Bergvall has quickly established himself as an instrumental figure in the middle of the park, and he'll be looking to continue his bright run of form this weekend.

CM: James Maddison - Tottenham have longed for Maddison to step up as he did in the opening 45 minutes on Thursday. The Englishman has enjoyed a productive season without being outstanding, and Ange requires Maddison to take Sunday's game by the scruff of its neck.

RW: Dejan Kulusevski - Kulusevski has been superb this term, but he could do with the day off. However, with Spurs' attacking options scarce, Ange hasn't got any choice but to stick with the Swede down the right.

ST: Richarlison - The Brazilian started well against Hoffenheim and Tottenham are going to need six weeks of Richarlison bereft of fitness setbacks while Dominic Solanke is sidelined.

LW: Son Heung-min - There wasn't much to like about Son's midweek showing, but it was his two goals, the second of which was a vintage strike, which separated the two teams. Moments will do at this point for Spurs.
