Tottenham Hotspur vs Leeds United

The two sides desperate to establish any kind of consistency are set to meet at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Tottenham Hotspur meet Leeds United.

After steering his side to a hard-fought 3-2 Europa Conference League win over Vitesse on his managerial debut, Antonio Conte failed to win his first Premier League fixture in charge of Tottenham, courtesy of a scoreless draw at Goodison last time out. After winning back-to-back Premier League matches in early October, ‘Spurs’ have gone winless in their subsequent three league outings (D1, L2), drawing a blank on each occasion. In fact, only newly-promoted Norwich have netted fewer Premier League goals than Tottenham (9) this season, highlighting the gravity of the Lillywhites’ ongoing crisis. However, the Londoners can turn to their recent H2H home record for inspiration, having defeated Leeds in their last four top-flight encounters in the capital by an aggregate score of 9-2.

In the meantime, Leeds have delivered a mixed bag of performances this season (W2, D5, L4) as they take the field harboring a slender two-point lead over 18th-placed Burnley. On a positive note, the ‘Whites’ eked out a 2-1 victory over Norwich in their most recent Premier League road trip, ending a run of four away league games without a win (D2, L2). Including lower tiers of English football, Leeds could record back-to-back league triumphs in London for the first time since 2008, having beaten Fulham 2-1 in their most recent such contest back in March. Though they’ve averaged just one goal scored per away league match this term, Marcelo Bielsa’s men will fancy their chances in front of Hugo Lloris. Leeds have netted a league-high five goals from outside the box this term.
