Looking to make it three consecutive Premier League victories on Monday night, Tottenham will welcome Leeds to north London.
Tottenham
Starting with the hosts, while Tottenham might still remain at the heart of a relegation scrap, Spurs have certainly enjoyed an essential boost over the past fortnight. Putting a maiden victory of 2026 on the board last month as they snatched a late 1-0 victory away at an already-relegated Wolves, Roberto De Zerbi has certainly made a real impact since arriving in north London. Last seen putting in a dominant display as they secured a deserved 2-1 win away at Europa League finalists Aston Villa, the former Brighton boss will be demanding a repeat performance when his squad return to the capital on Monday night. Likewise, along with registering consecutive Premier League victories, Tottenham have also put seven points on the board from their last three outings and they will be desperate to take another giant leap towards top-flight safety here.
Tottenham Team News
All dealing with season-ending injuries, Tottenham will once again be without the likes of Cristian Romero, Xavi Simons, Mohamed Kudus, Ben Davies and Swedish international Dejan Kulusevski here. Likewise, ex-Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke remains on the sidelines with a hamstring injury.
Securing what was a deserved 2-1 victory away at Aston Villa last week, De Zerbi could be tempted to name an unchanged starting XI here. Bagging a maiden Tottenham strike in the Midlands last time out, January recruit Conor Gallagher will start in the middle of the park.
Leeds
As for the visitors, while Leeds might have suffered FA Cup heartbreak at Wembley on April 26th as they eventually fell to a close-fought 1-0 loss at the hands of Chelsea, Daniel Farke’s men should find the mood in their camp at a continued high. Making an immediate return to winning ways last time out as they claimed a routine 3-1 victory at home against an already-relegated Burnley, the former Norwich boss has seen his squad gain a string of plaudits on either side of March’s international break. Alongside registering 10 points from their last four Premier League showdowns, Leeds have also remarkably lost just one of their previous nine appearances across all competitions – a purple patch that stems back to a 1-0 defeat against Sunderland on March 3rd.
Leeds Team News
In what is a major blow for Leeds, the Lilywhites have confirmed that Swiss International Noah Okafor will miss out on Monday night after sustaining a recent calf injury. Likewise, midfielder Ilia Gruev remains on the sidelines with a knee injury and won’t feature here.
Bagging a 12th Premier League strike against Burnley last time out, England international Dominic Calvert-Lewin will lead the line in north London. One-time Tottenham defender Joe Rodon will start at the heart of Farke’s defence on Monday.
Tottenham vs Leeds Key Factors to Consider
- When Tottenham and Leeds met for their reverse Premier League showdown on October 4th, Spurs claimed a 2-1 victory at Elland Road.
- In fact, De Zerbi’s side have won their last five consecutive meetings against Monday’s guests.
- Along with registered back-to-back Premier League wins, Tottenham have bagged seven points from their last three appearances.
- Leeds’ 1-0 FA Cup semi-final defeat against Chelsea last month is the only loss that they have suffered from their previous nine appearances across all competitions.
- Dominic Calvert-Lewin has registered 12 Premier League goals in his maiden campaign at Elland Road.
Conclusion
Securing a 2-1 victory when they travelled to Elland Road for their reverse Premier League showdown back on October 4th, Tottenham will be excited by a dominant record against Monday’s guests. While Leeds might have continued on a real purple patch on either side of March’s international break, Spurs have won all of their previous five straight meetings across all fronts. Looking to take another giant leap towards Premier League safety, we are expecting a similar outcome in north London.
