With skipper Hugo Lloris out for at least six weeks and their best centre-back Cristian Romero banned, Tottenham’s back three were all over the place against the Foxes, while right wing-back Pedro Porro had a debut to forget.

Made captain for the first time in his career, James Maddison responded with a goal and an assist. Conte is at his best with his back to the wall and it would be no surprise if Tottenham progressed against Milan, who beat Torino 1-0 last Friday but remain fragile.
