Spurs Face Leeds in Crucial Relegation Battle

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

However, their home record remains poor, they have endured a lengthy injury crisis, and they sit in a precarious position with limited games left in the season.

Tottenham Hotspur currently sit just one point above the relegation zone and urgently need wins to ensure their survival. In contrast, Leeds United find themselves in a safer position—potentially mathematically secure depending on other results—and are enjoying a strong unbeaten run.

Historically, Spurs have dominated this fixture, winning the last five meetings, but Leeds are expected to be difficult to break down.

Team news Tottenham: The team will still be missing several key players, including Vicario, Kulusevski, Romero, Kudus, and Odobert. Richarlison and others are expected to return after recent injuries, and reports suggest James Maddison could be an option off the bench. Leeds: The squad will be without Okafor due to a calf injury, along with other players like Gruev and Gudmundsson. Dominic Calvert-Lewin and midfielders such as Stach are set to be key threats.

Broadcast: The match will be live on Sky Sports (Main Event/Premier League), with coverage starting around 7 pm BST on Monday Night Football. Fans can also stream the game via Sky Go.

Spurs are expected to win at home against a mid-to-lower table side struggling on the road, especially as they fight for survival. A competitive and possibly goal-filled game is anticipated. If Spurs can play with intensity and clinical finishing, they have a good chance of securing three points; however, football during late-season relegation battles can be unpredictable.

Though Spurs are favored to beat Leeds tonight, nothing is guaranteed in this tense relegation scrap.
