Tottenham Hotspur will face Leicester City on matchday 23 of the Premier League. Spurs' last match against Arsenal was called off due to Arteta's short squad. The Gunners had nine players unavailable. Four of the nine players are playing in the Africa Cup of Nations. The Premier League decided to cancel the match.

Before the match against Arsenal, Spurs faced Chelsea where they lost 0-1 for the Carabao Cup. Tottenham were eliminated by Chelsea in the League Cup semifinals. The last match Spurs won was in the FA Cup against Morecambe with a final score of 3-1. 

In the match against Chelsea, Conte fielded important players, but not all of them were used to start. For the next Premier League match, Conte will field his best team to face a tough opponent that will make the North London side suffer.

Let's take a look at the possible starting lineup based on what coach Conte has done in recent games.

Conte is likely to go with a 3-5-2 lineup.

Goalkeeper and defenders

Hugo Lloris (GK) - After second-choice goalkeeper Gollini got his chance against Chelsea and made a mistake, Hugo Lloris looks to be back in the starting lineup for Tottenham.

Davinson Sánchez (CB) - The Colombian player is undisputable for Conte’s scheme and he will be again in the field.

Ben Davies (CB) - The Welshman is another player that Conte has used a lot, and due to the lack of defenders, the center-back will be against Leicester City.

Tanganga (CB) - Surprisingly, the Englishman and Tottenham youth player has earned a place at the back after Romero's injury. Tanganga will share the defensive line with Davinson and Ben.

Wing-backs and midfielders

Emerson Royal (RWB) - Emerson Royal is fighting for the right winger's job with Matt Doherty, who has played poorly, so it looks like he will start.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (CM) - The Dane has been essential in Tottenham's midfield since Mourinho arrived and Conte has done the same, starting him in almost every game.

Oliver Skipp (CM) - Oliver Skipp has gained prominence since the arrival of the Italian coach, after not playing the last game, he will surely return to the starting eleven.

Giovani Lo Celso (CM) - The Argentine seemed to have no place in Conte's Tottenham side, however, he has earned playing time the last three games. The manager is likely to start Lo Celso in the next match.

Reguilón (LWB) - The Spaniard will be back in the starting line-up after an injury and will play as a left-winger. 

Forwards

Harry Kane (ST) - The striker should retain his spot, as he is the Tottenham goalscorer.

Lucas Moura (ST) - The Brazilian has played very well under Conte and following injuries to Son Heung-min and Bergwijn is likely to start the match.
