Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur FC, English Premier League 2025-26, Today Match Prediction

Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur FC Match Prediction & Analysis

Leeds United are set for back-to-back fixtures at Elland Road, this time welcoming Thomas Frank’s Tottenham Hotspur. After last weekend’s dramatic draw with Bournemouth—where a late Cherries equaliser denied them all three points—the Whites will be eager for a better outcome. 

Spurs, meanwhile, arrive with frustrations of their own, having stumbled to a surprising Champions League draw against Bodo/Glimt, narrowly avoiding a shock defeat.

Current Standings: Leeds are presently 12th in the league standings with eight points, just one win away from getting into the top ten. Meanwhile, Tottenham is comfortably in the top half of the table, ranked fourth with 11 points.

Head-to-Head Record: Spurs have a 13-11 head-to-head edge over Leeds, with 6 draws in 30 matches.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Leeds United Preview

After six rounds, Leeds sit 12th with 8 points—a return Daniel Farke won’t grumble about. Yet, it could easily have been 11 had his side shown more composure in the closing stages of their last outing against Bournemouth. 

Still, there were positives to take, the fightback from a goal down to lead 2-1 through goals from Joe Rodon and Sean Longstaff, and holding it for over 90 minutes against one of the competition’s most in-form teams. Against Spurs, Farke will demand more of that resilience and far fewer lapses at the back.

Stats that matter 

1. Leeds thoroughly out played Bournemouth in the last match with 19 shots to 12 while having more shots on target.
2. Leeds registered 8 shots on target against Bournemouth—their second-highest tally in a Premier League game since 2021
3. It's been 12 months since Leeds last lost a match at Elland Road. 

Team News 

Reports indicate that first-choice keeper Lucas Perri will be out until after the October international break, meaning Karl Darlow keeps his place between the sticks. On the brighter side, Dan James is back in contention, though Willy Gnonto remains a doubt for the weekend clash.

Leeds United Probable XI - Darlow(GK); James Justin, Joe Rodon, Pascal Struijk, Gabriel Gudmundsson (Defenders); Anton Stach, E.Ampadu, Sean Longstaff (Midfielders); N Okafor, Calvert-Lewin, Aaranson (Forwards).

Tottenham Hotspur FC Preview

Spurs’ struggles carried over from the weekend draw against Wolves to the Champions League, where once again they had to scrape through to avoid defeat against opponents they should have comfortably beaten. 

Against the Wolves, Spurs relied on Joao Palhinha’s stoppage-time strike in a game where they managed just three shots on target, while in Europe, it took a Bodo/Glimt own goal to spare their blushes. Come Saturday, Thomas Frank’s men must regroup quickly, though fatigue—both mental and physical—after the midweek grind could weigh heavily.

Stats that matter 

1. Spurs have drawn two of their last three league outings—matching the total number of draws they managed in their previous 23 games
2. Tottenham are unbeaten in their last six games across all competitions.
3. Joao Palhinha has been a midfield enforcer this season, currently topping the league charts with 19 tackles—the joint-most so far.

Team News 

Midfielder Pape Sarr, sidelined with a thigh issue, returned to the starting XI against Bodo/Glimt. Frank, however, will still be without Dominic Solanke, Yves Bissouma, and Kolo Muani for the weekend clash.

Tottenham Probable XI - Vicario (GK): Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie (Defenders); Sarr/Bentacur, Bergvall, Palhinha ( Midfielders); Kudus, Johnson, Richarlison (Forwards).

LEEDS UNITED vs TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FC
Winning Prediction

The numbers suggest a tough outing for Leeds, having lost four of their last Premier League games and nine of their last 11 against Spurs, who also won the last two trips to Elland Road. Yet, with Tottenham struggling for goals, missing key players, and facing back-to-back matches in a few days, Leeds could turn the tide—making a draw a realistic target for the hosts.

We predict a Draw (1-1)
