Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Tottenham Hotspur could line up for Saturday's Premier League clash with Leicester City.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte is facing a wave of calls to drop Son Heung-min for Saturday's Premier League clash with Leicester City.

The South Korea international endured another dismal evening in Tuesday's Champions League loss to Sporting Lisbon, while Dejan Kulusevski once again provided a bright spark off the bench.

However, with Leicester rock bottom of the standings and the international break coming up, Conte will be wary of depleting Son's confidence, especially with Arsenal to come on October 1.

As a result, the 30-year-old could end up holding his place alongside Harry Kane and Richarlison, the latter of whom was Spurs' chief goal threat at the Estadio Jose Alvalade.

Lucas Moura (tendon) is Spurs' only absentee for the visit of Leicester, and Conte may elect to make some changes in midfield and defence, despite his persistent reluctance to alter his starting XI.

Yves Bissouma and Ryan Sessegnon could force their way in over Rodrigo Bentancur and Ivan Perisic, but Emerson Royal will expect to keep Djed Spence at bay for now.

Clement Lenglet will also endeavour to displace Ben Davies at the back, while Eric Dier and Cristian Romero will continue to protect Hugo Lloris as ever.

Tottenham possible starting lineup: Lloris; Romero, Dier, Lenglet; Emerson, Hojbjerg, Bissouma, Sessegnon; Richarlison, Kane, Son
