Leeds United vs Tottenham Premier League preview, team news, score prediction

Wait 5 sec.

Roberto De Zerbi’s men will hope to make it four consecutive Premier League wins when Tottenham travel to Elland Road on Saturday to face a Leeds United side without a victory in their last five games.Tottenham Hotspur won three consecutive Premier League games for the first time in 616 days last weekend, beating Crystal Palace 2-0 after previously getting the better of Coventry City and Chelsea in their two fixtures before that. Even more encouragingly, Spurs have conceded just once across those three victories.

The Leeds manager, however, remains ‘carefully optimistic’ about his availability.Anton Stach and former Tottenham defender Joe Rodon are doubts, while Noah Okafor continues to train individually.

Both were eased back into action from the bench against Palace following their respective injuries, and hopefully there are no further problems as we expect to see them start again.In midfield, James Maddison was not risked at all last weekend following his injury scare at Stamford Bridge the week before. De Zerbi did not raise any fresh concerns about the midfielder, so we will take that as an encouraging sign. If fit, Maddison would certainly start. Otherwise, Conor Gallagher or Rodrigo Bentancur could come into the side.Further forward, Mohammed Kudus and Mathys Tel have both been very good in recent games, so we do not expect any changes there. Dominic Solanke is the main alternative to Omar Marmoush, although there is also the possibility of De Zerbi repeating the setup against Palace, with Marmoush playing in the No.10 role and Solanke leading the line.Our Leeds vs Tottenham score predictionLeeds have not troubled Tottenham much in recent years, with their last victory over Spurs coming back in May 2021. In the six meetings since, Tottenham have won five and drawn one, with the latter coming in their most recent encounter towards the end of last season, when Spurs were fighting to avoid relegation.We expect Tottenham to extend that run and take full advantage of their contrasting form heading into this fixture.James Maddison could be the one to watch. His creativity in the final third will be very important against a Leeds side expected to defend in a relatively deep and organised shape. Finding ways to break through that defensive block could be the key to unlocking the game.Spurs will still need to be careful of Leeds’ counter-attacks and their threat from dead-ball situations. Farke’s side have shown enough to suggest they can punish any lapses in concentration. In fact, one third of their goals scored in the Premier League this season were from set pieces.Nevertheless, with Tottenham finally building some momentum and looking far more assured defensively, we are backing De Zerbi’s men to make it four league wins in a row.Predicted score: Leeds United 0-1 Tottenham HotspurREAD MORE: All 15 strikers Tottenham are linked with ahead of January transfer window – Spurs WebThe post Leeds United vs Tottenham Premier League preview, team news, score prediction appeared first on Spurs Web.
