Tottenham vs Leeds United – Preview, Predictions and Best Bets

With pride, pressure, and important points on the line, expect nothing less than pure drama under the lights at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Who takes the win when the final whistle blows?

Tottenham Form

Tottenham Hotspur are pushing for a third straight Premier League win for the first time this season, and confidence around the club is beginning to grow.

Experienced managers such as Sean Dyche and Sam Allardyce were mentioned as possible options, but Spurs chose to place their faith in Roberto De Zerbi’s long-term vision. So far, that decision appears to be paying off.

Since gameweek 33, only two teams have earned more Premier League points than the Europa League holders. After the frustration of their draw against Brighton & Hove Albion, Spurs bounced back with hard fought victories in the West Midlands, showing determination and steady improvement along the way.

Tottenham Team News

Tottenham Hotspur will head into Monday night’s Premier League clash against Leeds United still dealing with a lengthy injury list, as key players including Guglielmo Vicario and Dominic Solanke remain unavailable for selection. Vicario is continuing his recovery after surgery in March, while Solanke is still battling a hamstring problem picked up against Wolves.

Tottenham Motivation

Monday’s clash is a huge opportunity for Tottenham Hotspur, as a victory over Leeds United would move them four points clear of West Ham United with only two matches remaining after the Hammers fell to Arsenal on Sunday.

Leeds Form

Leeds United have shown steady form in recent weeks with three wins and three draws from their last six Premier League matches, reflecting a side growing in confidence at a crucial stage of the season.

Their progress has been more about consistent improvement over several months rather than short-term bursts, with Daniel Farke’s side increasingly looking like a team that belongs at this level.

Leeds Team News

Following West Ham United’s defeat to Arsenal, Leeds United are now mathematically safe from relegation. The result confirms their Premier League status for next season, bringing relief and reward after a strong end to the campaign under Farke.

Leeds Motivation

Leeds United will be motivated by their strong recent form, having taken 10 points from their last four matches and extended their unbeaten Premier League run to six games.

They will also look to avenge their narrow 2-1 defeat to Tottenham earlier this season, especially after a long winless streak against Spurs in the Premier League.

Key Stats

• Tottenham Hotspur have won their last two Premier League matches and could secure three consecutive top-flight wins for the first time this season.
• Spurs have taken 10 points across gameweeks 33 to 35, with only two teams collecting more during that period.
• Tottenham have averaged 5.3 final-third possessions won per match under Roberto De Zerbi, the highest of any manager with 4+ Premier League games this season.
• Leeds United are unbeaten in their last six Premier League matches, including a 3-1 win over Burnley and four wins in their last six league outings.
• Leeds have drawn eight of their last 10 away Premier League matches, despite being unbeaten in their last six on the road.
  Tottenham have won their last five Premier League meetings against Leeds, including a 2-1 win earlier this season and a 4-3 thriller in 2022.

Verdict

Tottenham Hotspur 2–1 Leeds United, with Spurs’ improved intensity and strong recent form at home likely just about edging a Leeds side that have been consistent but have struggled to turn away draws into wins.
