The hosts begin this round of fixtures in 4th place on 26 points while the visitors are in 12th place on 15 points.
Tottenham Hotspur come into the game on the back of a disappointing 2-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest in the League Cup on Wednesday night. With the score 0-0 at half time, Nottingham Forest opened the scoring 5 minutes into the second half and added a second goal 7 minutes later.
Even when playing against ten men for the final 15 minutes, Tottenham Hotspur could not make the breakthrough.
That result means Tottenham Hotspur have lost their last 2 games in all competitions. They were defeated 2-1 at home by Liverpool in their most recent Premier League fixture, going 2-0 down in the first half before getting one back in the 70th minute.
Form in the Premier League shows Tottenham Hotspur have lost 3 of their last 4 matches. The defeats have come against Newcastle United and Liverpool at home plus Manchester United away.
However, trends show Tottenham Hotspur are unbeaten in 11 of their last 13 home matches in all competitions and have seen over 2.5 goals in their last 3 Premier League games.
Leeds United make the trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium having suffered a 1-0 defeat at Wolverhampton Wanderers in the League Cup on Wednesday night.
The only goal of the game was scored in the 85th minute and Leeds United could not find the equaliser in the brief time that remained.
The defeat ended a run where Leeds United had won 2 games in succession, both of which were in the Premier League. Leeds United recorded an excellent 2-1 win at Liverpool and followed that with an entertaining 4-3 home victory over AFC Bournemouth.
Despite winning their 2 most recent Premier League fixtures, Leeds United have failed to win 8 of their last 10 Premier League matches.
Leeds United’s away form shows they have lost 4 of their last 5 league games on the road and they have seen over 2.5 goals scored in 3 of their 4 most recent away league games.
Looking ahead to the team news and Tottenham Hotspur will be without forward Heung-Min Son due to a facial injury. Cristian Romero is a doubt due to a thigh problem.
Leeds United are without the injured duo of Luis Sinisterra and Adam Forshaw. Patrick Bamford and Archie Gray are doubts.
This should be an entertaining match to watch and we expect to see both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals. Despite beating Liverpool away recently, Leeds United have been struggling on the road in the Premier League and we expect Tottenham Hotspur to win by a one goal margin.
