Match Prediction: Leeds United 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur

Leeds are coming off a mixed bag of results, but they've shown they can score against tough teams. Their recent win against Wolves away from home suggests they can be dangerous on the counter. Tottenham, on the other hand, have been solid but inconsistent, with a knack for drawing games they should win. This match could be a tight affair, with Leeds looking to exploit Tottenham's defensive lapses.

Tottenham's recent form shows they can dominate possession but struggle to convert chances into wins. Their loss to Bournemouth at home is a warning sign, but their victory over Manchester City away is a testament to their potential. Leeds will need to be sharp at the back and clinical up front to get anything from this game. Expect a lively encounter with both teams pushing for the win.

Leeds have had a rollercoaster of a season so far. Their recent draw against Bournemouth at home shows they can hold their own against experienced Premier League teams. The win against Wolves away from home is a real confidence booster, but the heavy defeat to Arsenal is a reminder of their defensive frailties. If they can keep their focus and intensity high, they might just pull off a surprise against Tottenham.

• Draw: 2-2 vs AFC Bournemouth (H)

• Win: 3-1 vs Wolverhampton Wanderers (A)

• Loss: 0-1 vs Fulham (A)

• Draw: 0-0 vs Newcastle United (H)

• Loss: 0-5 vs Arsenal (A)

Tottenham have been a bit of a puzzle this season. They've managed to draw against Wolves and Brighton, showing they can compete but struggle to close out games. Their convincing win over West Ham away from home is a highlight, but the loss to Bournemouth at home is a concern. If they can find their rhythm and finish their chances, they could have enough to beat Leeds.

• Draw: 1-1 vs Wolverhampton Wanderers (H)

• Draw: 2-2 vs Brighton & Hove Albion (A)

• Win: 3-0 vs West Ham United (A)

• Loss: 0-1 vs AFC Bournemouth (H)

• Win: 2-0 vs Manchester City (A)

Tottenham have had the upper hand in recent meetings with Leeds, winning four out of the last five encounters. The most recent match saw Tottenham thrashing Leeds 4-1 away from home. However, Leeds did manage a 3-1 victory in May 2021, showing they can cause an upset. This history suggests Tottenham might have the edge, but Leeds are capable of pulling off a surprise.
