Lineups, squad news, confirmed starting lineups as Maddison misses out through injury


Tottenham aim for a first win in seven Premier League games when they host second-placed Leicester City on Sunday (2pm GMT).

Spurs have suffered three successive defeats in the league, losing 3-2 to Everton last Sunday after defeats away to Arsenal and at home to Newcastle.

Leicester are in even worse form, having lost their last seven league games and last won away to leaders Southampton on October 19.

Tottenham’s line-up against Leicester

James Maddison scored Tottenham’s opener as part of an impressive display in their 3-2 Europa League win at Hoffenheim on Thursday, but the playmaker is not in their squad for the game against the Foxes.

Manager Ange Postecoglou says he hopes the problem will only keep Maddison out for one game because the midfielder is “a bit sore”.

Forward Richarlison makes his first home league appearance for nearly three months and starts at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the first time since February 2024.

New signing Antonin Kinsky returns in goal and Pape Matar Sarr, who was a doubt, starts. His colleague Yves Bissouma is on the bench, but Djed Spence is injured.

Defenders Destiny Udogie, Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero, midfielder Wilson Odobert and forwards Brennan Johnson and Timo Werner are among Tottenham’s long list of players.

Tottenham starting line-up: Kinsky, Pedro Porro, Dragusin, Davies, Gray, Sarr, Bergvall, Bentancur, Son, Kulusevski, Richarlison

Subs: Austin, Reguilon, Bissouma, Ajayi, Olusesi, Min-hyeok, Moore, Lankshear

Goalkeeper Mands Hermansen, defender Ricardo Pereira and midfielders Wilfred Didi and Isahakou Fatau are among their injury absentees.
