MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

Tottenham have won their last four home league meetings with Leeds.This is their 100th meeting in all competitions, with Spurs ahead by 37 wins to Leeds' 33.

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham could equal their club record of four league games without a goal for the first time since 2006.

Spurs have managed just nine goals in the league in 2021-22 - only bottom side Norwich have scored fewer. At the same stage last season, Son Heung-min had scored 10 league goals and Harry Kane had eight.

This season, Kane has scored just once in 10 Premier League appearances. In all competitions, he has gone five consecutive Spurs games without a goal for the first time since 2016.

Tottenham have benefitted from four own goals in all competitions this season, more than any other Premier League side.

Leeds United

Leeds have gone three league games without defeat for the first time this season (W1, D2).Marcelo Bielsa's side have not kept a clean sheet in any of their five top-flight away matches so far.

Leeds have drawn five Premier League matches in 2021-22, as many as they did in the whole of last season.

Raphinha has scored 45% of Leeds' goals in the Premier League this season (five of 11), opening the scoring in a joint-high four matches.

2 - 2.

MOT.

I'd take a draw right now

1-1

Could go either way this, entire game will just rest on how much Spurs want it, if they turn up and play to their ability we will lose

1-1 would be good but if we can get an early goal could put them under pressure.

Just hope Harry Kane emptied his goal tank for England

Yep agree with joel on this one.

As hopey says just lets just hope Kane shot his load for England and is firing blanks today.

I would not be worried about him as he clearly doesn't want to be there and won't perform. I think we can get over them today but than again how do we know which Leeds will turn up just as likely to lose 3 zip.

Why am I reading everywhere that Raphinha and Rodrigo are out now as well?

Is this just Twitter nonsense or true?

If it is I'd have massive concerns about any chance we have of getting a result

RODRIGO what a goal :) Ohh poo I'm watching Man City lol
