Pedro Porro is expected to potentially start against Leeds United after coming on as a substitute against Crystal Palace and showing impressive form. He has been dealing with lingering fitness issues and a multi-week injury following the World Cup. Hotspur HQ suggests that Porro could make a statement game, having already shown promising signs off the bench.
Porro's role is seen as crucial both defensively and offensively against Leeds, a team that likes to play on the counter. He is expected to face a tough matchup with Daniel James likely marking him. However, he has the potential to make a significant impact going forward with teasing crosses and smart passes to support forwards like Mohammed Kudus.
The decision to start Porro is weighed against the alternative of playing Archie Gray as the right back, with Gray potentially acting as an auxiliary midfielder to control the game. However, Porro's experience and position-specific skills are highlighted as valuable assets for Tottenham's performance, suggesting that starting him could be beneficial despite his recent fitness concerns.

Source context
Archie Gray would honestly make the most sense this weekend as the starting right back for Tottenham Hotspur vs. Leeds United, and it's not just because of the revenge angle in facing his old team. Spurs figure to dominate possession again, just as they did last weekend vs. Crystal Palace, and Gray as an auxillary midfielder on the right side could help Spurs control the game even more, giving Pedro Porro an additional bit of rest before the November international break. But honestly, Porro might not need the rest at all. He came into the game against Palace last weekend in the second half and looked amazing. he was one of the most active players in the final third while passing the ball around with aplomb.
