Leeds vs Tottenham preview: Spurs test Farke after five winless games

← Back to Match CentreLeeds v Tottenham

Leeds need a response after five league games without a win, but Tottenham arrive at Elland Road with three successive Premier League victories behind them.

Leeds vs Tottenham takes place at Elland Road on Saturday 7 November 2026, with kick-off at 12.30pm GMT.

Can Leeds disrupt Tottenham’s rhythm?

Daniel Farke’s side lost 2-0 at Bournemouth last weekend. Tottenham’s improving run under Roberto De Zerbi presents a different problem: Leeds must pressure the visitors without opening lanes between their midfield and defence.

The hosts can make their wing-backs important outlets. If those players are forced too deep, however, the centre-forward risks becoming isolated and Tottenham can sustain pressure through repeated attacks.

Calvert-Lewin fitness could shape the contest

Farke is hopeful Dominic Calvert-Lewin can recover from a foot setback, according to Leeds’ official injury update. His presence would give the hosts a stronger target when they need to bypass pressure.

Dave.sport prediction

Leeds 1-2 Tottenham. We favour Spurs on current form, with their three-match league winning run offering a stronger starting point. Leeds’ chances improve if they can keep the game stretched rather than spend long periods defending their box.
