This is a high-stakes bottom-half clash. Back-to-back wins under new manager Roberto De Zerbi (including a big 2-1 at Aston Villa) have given them momentum and lifted them out of the drop zone.

However, their home record is poor, they’ve had a lengthy injury crisis, and they remain in a precarious position with games running out.

Spurs sit just one point above the relegation zone and desperately need wins to secure survival, while Leeds are much safer—potentially mathematically safe depending on other results—and are on a strong unbeaten run.

Spurs have historically dominated this fixture recently (winning the last five meetings), but Leeds will be hard to break down.

Team news Tottenham: Still missing several players (e.g., Vicario, Kulusevski, Romero, Kudus, Odobert). Richarlison and others are expected to feature after recent knocks. Possible returns or squad boosts noted in some reports. James Maddison could be an option off the bench. Leeds: Without Okafor (calf) and others (e.g., Gruev, Gudmundsson). Dominic Calvert-Lewin and midfielders like Stach remain key threats.

Spurs should win at home against a mid/lower-table side with away issues, especially with survival on the line. Expect a competitive, possibly goal-filled game. If Spurs play with intensity and clinical finishing, they can get the three points—but football (especially late-season relegation fights) is unpredictable.

Spurs can (and are favoured to) beat Leeds tonight, but it’s far from guaranteed—it’s a tense relegation scrap.
