James Maddison was not risked against Palace following a groin issue suffered in the win over Chelsea, and should therefore be available to play some part at Leeds, while Wilson Odobert and Xavi Simons remain long-term absentees.

However, there have been reports this week that Simons is now entering the final stage of his recovery from an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture suffered back in April and is expected back in training later in November, well ahead of schedule.

De Zerbi was able to provide a positive recent update on Odobert, suggesting that he could be back training in January after tearing his ACL in February.

Pedro Porro was named among the substitutes against Palace, but should be fit enough to start at Leeds.

Destiny Udogie, though, needs more time before he is ready to return to the starting lineup, having not trained consistently since the September international break.

Predicted Tottenham XI vs Leeds (4-2-3-1): Kinsky; Porro, Van Hecke, Van de Ven, Robertson; Bentancur, Tonali; Kudus, Maddison, Tel; Solanke
