Tottenham Hotspur vs Leeds United
English Premier League, KO: 15:00 Nov 12, 2022, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Tottenham Hotspur are aiming to snap a recent poor run as they host Leeds United in a Premier League fixture on Saturday. Leeds have shown some good form lately but could find things difficult against a wounded Spurs side.
Tottenham have found things difficult in recent weeks and are in desperate need of a win. They have won just once in their last four Premier League fixtures and have dropped to fourth on the table with the likes of Manchester United and Brighton breathing down their neck.
Antonio Conte’s men suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Liverpool in their previous Premier League fixture. They followed that up with a 2-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup third round on Wednesday.
One of the problems for Tottenham Hotspur is a vulnerable backline that is without a clean sheet in the last seven matches across all competitions. However, Harry Kane continues to fire at the other end of the pitch and could be the spark for their resurgence.
In contrast to Tottenham Hotspur, Leeds United have impressed in recent weeks, winning their last two Premier League matches. First, they picked up a 2-1 win at Liverpool before claiming at thrilling 4-3 victory over Bournemouth in their previous fixture.
However, like Tottenham, they also crashed out of the Carabao Cup. Jesse Marsch’s much changed side were beaten 1-0 by Wolverhampton Wanderes in the third-round clash on Wednesday.
Although they rested players on Wednesday, that defeat is an extension of a poor record on the road for Leeds United. They have won just once on their travels this season and travel to Spurs with four defeats in their last five away matches.
