Three of Tottenham’s last four Premier League matches have witnessed a red card, but only one of those went to a Spurs player. The numbers suggest one should not rule out a sending-off in the Lilywhites’ upcoming clash at Elland Road either.While Spurs were being discussed as potential relegation fodder just a few weeks ago, they now find themselves in touching distance of the Champions League places.

Tony Harrington is on VAR duty, and he will be assisted by Mat Wilkes.As per Transfermarkt, Brooks has only officiated Tottenham games on 12 occasions in his career, out of which Spurs have won six, drawn three and lost three.However, in those 12 matches, he has shown red cards to Tottenham players on three different occasions, which is a rather high ratio.Two of those came in the very same game, with Xavi Simons and Cristian Romero both seeing reds in Tottenham’s 2-1 loss to Liverpool in December of last year. Brooks was also the man to give Yves Bissouma a second yellow for diving against Luton Town in 2023.Experienced Spurs star will be back after suspensionRoberto De Zerbi’s side will be boosted by the return of Rodrigo Bentancur, who is available for selection after serving his three-match suspension following his red card at Old Trafford.We are also waiting to hear if Lucas Bergvall has recovered from his injury, but one would not expect either the Swede or the Uruguayan to get back into the starting lineup.Injured Tottenham playerInjuryPotential ReturnWilson OdobertKnee01/01/2027 (training)Xavi SimonsKnee2027Mykhailo MudrykAnkleNovember 2026SavioMuscularNovember 2026Lucas BergvallKneeNovember 2026Tosin AdarabioyoKnockNovember 2026The Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes partnership has been clicking very well for the past few weeks, and it would be surprising if the Tottenham boss opts to change it.It will be interesting to see who De Zerbi plays as a number 10, with the Italian showing a tendency to start Conor Gallagher in tough away games due to the physicality and running power the 26-year-old offers.READ MORE: ‘I’m going to win a trophy at Tottenham’ – How Ange Postecoglou convinced Montgomery to join Spurs projectThe post Worrying referee stat suggests another red card is possible in Leeds v Tottenham appeared first on Spurs Web.
