Premier League: Live score: Tottenham VS Leeds United: Prediction, Probable lineups

Nottingham Forest eliminated them from the EFL Cup in the third round this past week, diminishing their chances of earning a trophy this season. 

With that said, Spurs sit fourth in the Premier League with 26 points, one point behind third-place Newcastle United, and cannot afford to slip up if they are to qualify for the Champions League.

Spurs have lost three of their previous four Premier League games, and their deficiencies are gradually being exposed.

On the other hand, Leeds stunned Liverpool at Anfield and will be hoping for a repeat performance tonight. 

The squad coached by Jesse Marsch had exceptional character and determination against Liverpool, and they can achieve a victory here.

In recent weeks, Leeds United have displayed clear indications of team unity. Wednesday, they lost 1-0 to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the EFL, failing to carry over their recent Premier League play.

They have yet to win three consecutive league games since the final three matchdays of the 2020-21 season and will be eager to rectify that against Antonio Conte's squad.

As for head-to-head stats, Tottenham has won 39 games, while Leeds has come up short with 33 victories. Twenty-nine games have been drawn between both sides.
