Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur – Match preview and team news

Leeds United host Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League at Elland Road on Saturday.

Leeds United host Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League at Elland Road on Saturday, 7 November 2026.

Daniel Farke’s Leeds have slipped to 12th after a bright opening month gave way to five matches without a win, their most recent outing a 2-0 defeat at Bournemouth. Roberto De Zerbi’s Tottenham, by contrast, have shaken off a six-game winless start to the season to climb to ninth, with back-to-back 2-0 wins over Chelsea and Crystal Palace following a 3-1 victory over Coventry and leaving Spurs chasing a fourth straight league win for the first time since 2023.

Leeds have found Elland Road a fortress this season, unbeaten across their last eight home league matches and one of only four Premier League sides yet to lose at home, but their record against Spurs specifically makes grim reading: just five points collected from the last 13 meetings, with no clean sheet against the North Londoners in 16 attempts since February 2000. Spurs have won their last three visits to Elland Road by an aggregate score of 10-2, and the sides shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw when they last met in May, Mathys Tel’s opener cancelled out by a Dominic Calvert-Lewin penalty.

Team news

Leeds United

Noah Okafor and Anton Stach remain major doubts through injury, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin is a doubt after missing training with a foot problem, though Farke is “carefully optimistic” over his fitness. Joe Rodon is back in full training but unlikely to start, with James Justin, Nico Elvedi and Tarik Muharemovic set to continue in defence.

Tottenham Hotspur

Wilson Odobert, Mykhaylo Mudryk and Xavi Simons remain out through injury, while Savio, Lucas Bergvall and Tosin Adarabioyo are minor doubts. De Zerbi could make just two changes, with Pedro Porro pushing for a recall at right-back and James Maddison in contention to start.

Form

Leeds United

Leeds have taken just five points from their last five matches, a run that includes a 2-1 defeat at champions Arsenal and draws with Crystal Palace, Manchester United and Sunderland, though their home form remains a clear point of encouragement.

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham have won their last three matches in all competitions, scoring six and conceding none in that run, and arrive at Elland Road full of confidence after beating 10-man Crystal Palace last weekend.

Predicted lineups

Leeds United possible starting XI (3-4-2-1): Trafford; Justin, Elvedi, Muharemovic; Bogle, Ampadu, Tanaka, Gudmundsson; Wilson, James; Calvert-Lewin

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting XI (4-2-3-1): Kinsky; Porro, Van Hecke, Van de Ven, Robertson; Fernandes, Tonali; Kudus, Maddison, Tel; Solanke
