Tottenham vs Leeds United: A Crucial Clash for Survival
Tottenham Hotspur will host Leeds United on Monday evening at 8:00pm, marking a pivotal match in the Premier League. This game comes after Spurs’ 2–1 victory over Aston Villa, which followed a 1–0 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers and a strong draw with Brighton & Hove Albion. Under the management of Roberto De Zerbi, the team has shown significant improvement, with only one loss in their first four matches. This form has placed Spurs in a much stronger position to avoid relegation, and another positive result could be crucial for the Italian manager.
Leeds United, on the other hand, have seen their recent performances ease some of the concerns that supporters had earlier in the season. A 3–1 victory over Burnley has extended their winning streak to three out of four league matches under Daniel Farke. With an unbeaten run of six games, Farke is determined to keep this momentum going, which could secure their place in the Premier League.

Tottenham has no players suspended for this match. However, there are some injury concerns. Guglielmo Vicario remains sidelined after hernia surgery, and manager Roberto De Zerbi confirmed at a press conference that he is not ready to return yet. Dominic Solanke is also unlikely to feature, as De Zerbi mentioned that he is improving but may not be available for this game.
James Maddison, who has recently returned to the bench, is being cautious with the playmaker, as De Zerbi said, “I’m thinking about Maddison, maybe he’s not ready yet to play.”
Other players ruled out include Xavi Simons, Cristian Romero, Mohamed Kudus, Dejan Kulusevski, Wilson Odobert, and Ben Davies.

Leeds has no suspended players for this match. However, they will be without in-form Noah Okafor, who picked up a calf strain and will miss the next two games. Assistant manager Edmund Riemer stated that they are hopeful he will be available for the last game.
Gabriel Gudmundsson is also absent, with Riemer confirming that he will be out for this week and needs daily assessments. Pascal Struijk may require further evaluation due to a hip contusion, and he will train individually.
