Tottenham Hotspur vs Leeds United Preview

Monday night’s fixture at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium rounds off what has been a dramatic Premier League weekend, and both clubs have plenty riding on the result. Tottenham have shown signs of life in recent weeks with back-to-back away victories, while Leeds arrive in decent form and keen to consolidate their mid-table position in what has been a largely positive season.

Tottenham head into this game in better shape than their overall league position suggests. Their most recent outing was an impressive 2–1 away win at Aston Villa — a result that demonstrated the quality still available to them when the squad performs at its best. Prior to that, they had claimed another away victory, winning 1–0 at Wolverhampton Wanderers. Before that came a 2–2 home draw with Brighton. Earlier in this run, they were beaten 1–0 away at Sunderland, and the sequence opened with a chastening 3–0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest. Two wins from the last two is an encouraging note to end on, though the squad has been severely depleted by injuries across the second half of the season, and Spurs will need to produce another disciplined performance to take all three points against a resilient Leeds side.

Leeds have been one of the more consistent performers in the division’s middle section across this run. Their most recent outing brought an accomplished 3–1 home win over Burnley — a display full of attacking intent and movement that underlined why the Whites have generally been competitive throughout their first season back. Prior to that came an FA Cup defeat at Chelsea — 1–0 — which did nothing to affect their league form but ended an impressive cup run. Before that, they were held to a 2–2 draw away at Bournemouth, a fair point on the south coast. Earlier in this run they won 3–0 at home against Wolves, and the sequence opened with one of their standout away results — a 2–1 win at Manchester United in April. Their away form has been particularly encouraging, and they will travel to N17 with the confidence of a side that has beaten bigger clubs than Spurs this season.

The head-to-head record across the last five meetings is entirely one-sided in Tottenham’s favour, who have won all five, with no draws and no wins for Leeds. Most recently, Tottenham won 2–1 away at Leeds in October 2025. In the previous encounter — at the same venue — Tottenham had also triumphed away, winning 4–1 in May 2023. Leeds have not beaten Spurs in any of the five most recent meetings and will be looking to end that run on Monday night.

Tottenham sit seventeenth in the Premier League on 37 points from 35 matches, one point clear of West Ham in eighteenth. Their safety is in immediate crisis, but with two matches remaining after this one and West Ham playing Arsenal on Sunday, a win tonight would move Spurs to 40 points and provide meaningful breathing room. Leeds are fourteenth on 43 points from 35 matches — six above Tottenham. A win here would take them to 46, moving them above Newcastle in thirteenth, who sit on 45 points. A defeat would keep them on 43, with their position still secure but the gap to those above slightly increased.

Lineups & Injuries

Tottenham Hotspur (4-2-3-1) Kinsky, Porro, Danso, Ven, Udogie, Palhinha, Bentancur, Gallagher, Richarlison, Tel, Muani

Tottenham Hotspur: Romero (Out), Odobert (Out), B. Davies (Out), Kudus (Out), Kulusevski (Out), Solanke (Out), Simons (Out), Udogie (Doubtful), Vicario (Doubtful)

Leeds United: Gruev (Out), Gudmundsson (Doubtful)

Tottenham are by far the worse-affected side — seven confirmed absentees is a remarkable toll, with the squad depleted across virtually every position. Centre-back cover is minimal without Romero, wide options are essentially exhausted with Odobert, Kulusevski and Simons all out, and the attacking line lacks depth without Solanke. Udogie’s doubtful status adds further anxiety to the left-back slot. Leeds by contrast are close to full strength, with only Gruev confirmed out and Gudmundsson carrying a minor concern — a significant advantage heading into this fixture.
