Tottenham Hotspur welcome Leeds United on Monday evening in a crucial Premier League clash, desperate for points to secure their top-flight status.
Roberto De Zerbi’s side enter the fixture on a high after back-to-back wins over Wolverhampton Wanderers and Aston Villa – their first consecutive triumphs in 2025. Those results moved Spurs one point above the relegation zone with just three matches left. Leeds United, in contrast, arrive in London virtually safe following a six-game unbeaten run. Under Daniel Farke, Leeds have racked up 32 points since December, showing impressive consistency for a promoted side.
Historically, Tottenham have dominated this fixture, winning eight of their last nine league meetings. Leeds have also struggled at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, losing each of their six previous visits. Yet the hosts boast the worst home record in the division this season, collecting only 11 points. To avoid a tense finish, they must improve their form at their own ground. Leeds, meanwhile, possess real attacking threat, having scored three or more goals in eight different games this campaign.

### Team News
**Tottenham Hotspur**
Guglielmo Vicario remains sidelined after undergoing hernia surgery in March, with Antonín Kinský continuing in goal after a run of outstanding performances. Dominic Solanke is expected to miss out due to a hamstring problem picked up against Wolves. Richarlison and Rodrigo Bentancur are fit after minor scares at Villa Park. Long-term absentees include Dejan Kulusevski, Wilson Odobert, Ben Davies, and Cristian Romero.
**Leeds United**
Daniel Farke has suffered a significant blow with Noah Okafor ruled out by a calf strain. The Switzerland international has averaged a goal every 68 minutes since February. In his absence, Lukas Nmecha or Brenden Aaronson could step into the attack. Gabriel Gudmundsson and Ilia Gruev remain injured, while Pascal Struijk missed training with a hip contusion and faces a late fitness test.
### Recent Form
**Tottenham Hotspur**
Spurs have shown increased intensity under De Zerbi, winning possession in the final third 5.3 times per game. This tactical shift led to their two recent victories, restoring belief at the club. Despite a poor home record, Tottenham could win three consecutive league games for the first time since 2025. Richarlison remains their primary threat, averaging a goal involvement every 109 minutes.
**Leeds United**
Leeds approach the match after a clinical 3-1 win over Burnley last weekend. They are now chasing their second seven-game unbeaten streak of the season. Farke’s side have been tough to beat on the road, recording eight draws in their last ten away trips. The loss of Okafor, however, removes a player who contributed seven goal involvements in seven games.
### Predicted Lineups
**Tottenham Predicted XI:**
Kinsky; Porro, Danso, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bentancur, Palhinha; Kolo Muani, Gallagher, Tel; Richarlison
