Tottenham Hotspur will look to get back to winning ways when they host an entertaining Leeds United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London in the Premier League. Tottenham are 7th in the standings with 26 points from 15 matches which is just three away from the third-placed Leicester City. Leeds are 11th in the standings with 23 points from 16 matches and can get level on points with Spurs with a win here.
Tottenham’s match with Fulham on Wednesday was postponed just four hours before start leaving their manager Jose Mourinho furious with the way things were handled. His side needs a win to get back on track in the competition, as Tottenham are winless in four league games. That sequence saw them draw and lose two each. Crucially, the losses came against Liverpool and Leicester which pulled Tottenham from challengers to ‘also rans’. One positive, though, is that they still have one of the meanest defences in the league with just 15 goals conceded so far. Although they lost their latest home match 2-0 to Leicester, Tottenham have won the three prior in a row which included a 2-0 win over Manchester City.
Leeds thumped West Brom 5-0 in their latest league match making it three wins in their last four Premier League matches. The only loss in this sequence came at Old Trafford when Leeds were swatted aside by their old rivals 6-2. High-scoring remains a strong template for Leeds with the side so far witnessing 30 goals scored and conceded each. Even on the road, Leeds have seen over 2.5 goals in five of their last six Premier League away matches. Impressively, Leeds have scored at least once in each of their eight Premier League away matches. Leeds have win and lost four games each in their eight Premier League away matches this season with losses at Chelsea, Manchester United, and Liverpool downplaying their wins.
