Our EPL prediction is a 2–1 Tottenham win at Elland Road, where Leeds must bounce back from a horror show against Bournemouth. Spurs are unbeaten in four and recently beat Crystal Palace 2–0. Leeds drew 1–1 with Manchester United before that setback, offering hope. Daniel Farke’s fluid back-five meets Roberto De Zerbi’s possession-heavy high press, and momentum favours the visitors.

Injury News and Suspensions
Leeds United
Leeds have two notable absentees. Joe Rodon is recovering from a hamstring injury but is back in training, making him a doubtful option. Mateo Joseph is out with a knee injury and is not expected back until early January 2027. Farke otherwise appears to have a largely settled squad available.
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham face a lengthy and worrying list. Tosin Adarabioyo and Lucas Bergvall carry physical discomfort and are about a week away. Mykhaylo Mudryk (ankle) and Sávio (muscle) return in late November. Xavi Simons (cruciate) is out until early February 2027, and Wilson Odobert (cruciate) until mid-January 2027. Depth looks tested.

Form Guide
Leeds United
Leeds have grown into a competitive top-flight side since returning to the Premier League, showing it in a 1–1 draw with Manchester United and an unbeaten streak earlier in the year. A horror show against Bournemouth now demands a response. Their fluid structure produces goals but sometimes concedes them too. Calvert-Lewin leads the attack, James anchors midfield, Justin steadies the defence, and Trafford protects the goal as Farke seeks stability.
Tottenham Hotspur
Following a summer rebuild and last season’s relegation scare, Spurs have found momentum, staying unbeaten in four since an October trip to Marbella. They have won three consecutive Premier League games, including a 2–0 win over Crystal Palace featuring 34 shots and roughly 79% possession. De Zerbi’s pressing system underpins it all, demanding heavy possession. Solanke leads the line, Tel supports midfield, van Hecke anchors defence, and Kinský protects the goal.
Key Battles
Calvert-Lewin vs van Hecke
Based on the players available, a likely key duel is Calvert-Lewin against van Hecke. Calvert-Lewin is Leeds’ key attacker, the focal point for Farke’s central overloads. His movement and presence can pin defenders and create room for runners. If service arrives, he gives the hosts a credible route to goals.
Van Hecke is Tottenham’s key defender, responsible for protecting a high line that De Zerbi demands. Recovery pace alongside Micky van de Ven helps, but long balls remain the danger. If he wins the aerial and positional battles, Spurs control the game; if not, Leeds smell a rather useful draw.
James vs Tonali
Based on the players available, a likely key duel is James against Tonali. James is Leeds’ key midfielder, tasked with screening the defence when the double-pivot is stretched. He must choke rhythm in the mid-block and protect against Tottenham’s vertical passes. If he wins his battles, the hosts stay compact.
Tonali is Tottenham’s deep playmaker, helping De Zerbi’s side bait pressure before cutting lines vertically. He sets the tempo for heavy possession and feeds Tel and Solanke. If he finds time, Spurs will pass Leeds dizzy; if James stifles him, the visitors lose their metronome and some of their swagger.
Tactical Outlook
Farke’s side typically build patiently from the back with short passes, then flood the centre through aggressive overloads, often shaping into a 5-3-2 or 3-5-2 in possession. Without the ball, they drop into a compact 5-4-1 or mid-block, crowding passing lanes. That structure aims to choke the opponent’s rhythm. The weakness is transition: bypass the double-pivot, and space appears behind.
De Zerbi’s team demands heavy possession, baiting opposition presses before cutting vertical lines through deep playmakers Tonali and Gray. Without the ball, they defend with an aggressive high line reliant on Van de Ven’s recovery pace and a hungry counter-press. If that press is broken, long balls can punish them, while major knee injuries have significantly tested their wide depth.
Possible Playing Squad
Leeds United XI:
Trafford (GK), Justin, Elvedi, Muharemović, Bogle, Ampadu, Tanaka, Gudmundsson, Wilson, James, Calvert-Lewin
Tottenham Hotspur XI:
Kinský (GK), Solanke, Tel, Marmoush, Kudus, Fernandes, Tonali, Robertson, Van de Ven, van Hecke, Gray
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur Match Prediction
Our today’s match prediction favours Tottenham. De Zerbi’s possession and pressing should dominate, and Spurs arrive on a winning run, but Leeds’ overloads and home advantage mean the hosts will score. The high line leaves Spurs vulnerable, so expect an open, nervy contest decided by a very narrow margin here.
Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur Score Prediction
Calvert-Lewin gives the hosts a goal threat, but Solanke and Tel provide the visitors’ sharper edge, with De Zerbi’s possession tilting the contest toward Spurs.
We expect Leeds United 1–2 Tottenham Hotspur, as De Zerbi’s possession edges Farke’s overloads at Elland Road. Do you trust Spurs’ high line to survive Calvert-Lewin, or will Leeds spring a surprise?
