New boys Leeds United are set to host Tottenham Hotspur during the early kickoff on Saturday to start the day's Premier League action. Their unbeaten home record will be on the line when the North Londoners walk into town.
Daniel Farke's side have been anything but pushovers in the Premier League this season. They sit in 12th place with eight points after six games and should have been in a much better position if not for a late equaliser conceded against Bournemouth. The Peacocks started the season with a fine win, but were soon humbled by Arsenal. Farke's men reacted strongly by picking up five points out of 12 in the league after that tough loss. Leeds found an encouraging goal-scoring touch as they scored five in their last two against Wolves and Bournemouth. New signings Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Noah Okafor are firing along with Sean Longstaff, who's running the show. In a fixture that usually sees plenty of goals, Leeds would love to be miser and sting Tottenham for the first time in four years.
Tottenham's fast start under Thomas Frank hit a bump as the Lilywhites resorted to late equalisers twice to come away with a point in the league and the Champions League. Joao Palhinha's late goal spared their blushes against a lowly Wolves in the league before Jostein Gundersen's own goal saved them from an embarrassing defeat to Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League. Chance creation from open play has been a problem that Frank has to solve as the North Londoners look to kick on in the table. They are within touching distance of the top spots, and a couple of consecutive victories could spur them even higher.

Leeds vs Tottenham: Key Matchups
Jayden Bogle vs Xavi Simons - The marauding fullback has held the width on the right plenty of times for Leeds this season. He will be up against a rested Simons, who has been playing on the left so far for his new club. The Dutch international is well capable of punishing any lapses in concentration as he cuts in to shoot or even drifts centrally to get away from his marker. Bogle's defensive stance will be tested throughout the game.
Sean Longstaff vs Joao Palhinha - Longstaff found his feet in the Midlands after an impressive start to life. With his ball-winning and quick forward thinking, he is posing a threat to the opposition. Palhinha would love to lunge into a tackle on the ball carrier and would gladly eye to lock up Longstaff as he stamps his authority on the game. The Portuguese looks rejuvenated in Tottenham's colours after a difficult season with Bayern Munich.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin vs Micky van de Ven - Calvert-Lewin is back amongst the goals, and when in full flow, he will be a handful for any defender. He will look to play off Van de Ven's shoulder and dominate the aerials to bring his attacking partners into play. His pressing at the top will be key to suffocating Tottenham's buildup play and forcing van de Ven to go long.
Leeds vs Tottenham Prediction
Leeds United made a steady start to life at home. But it will be called into question as a superior side in Tottenham visit. Frank's men will look to put on a positive display after a couple of disappointing results. Farke does not want to sit back when there is an opportunity and would go for the kill. It will be an open game with plenty of chances for both sides, but Tottenham's superior quality might just see them get the result.
GOAL's Prediction: Leeds 1-3 Tottenham
Leeds vs Tottenham Odds
Tottenham enter the game as favourites to claim all three points and are priced at 1.45 by the bookmakers. Any result Leeds get is dubbed an upset, with their win priced at 2.85 and a draw priced at 3.60.

Farke's side has no midweek assignments and will be hopeful of welcoming Daniel James and Wilfried Gnonto into the squad after their minor injuries. Their starting goalkeeper, Lucas Perri, is ruled out until after the international break, as Karl Darlow looks set to continue between the sticks. The in-form midfield trio will pick itself before the game, and the blossoming chemistry between Clavert-Lewin and Okafor will cheer the home fans.
Predicted Lineup: Darlow; Bogle, Rodon, Struijk; Gudmundsson; Longstaff, Ampadu, Stach; Gnonto, Calvert-Lewin, Okafor

Frank rested his usual starters in the midweek clash but had to bring them on during the hour mark. Expect all the big guns to start against Leeds as Frank awaits the late fitness reports on several players. Cristian Romero is one such player who will start if deemed fit. Randal Kolo Muani is yet to make his league debut as he nurses a dead leg. His side are still without multiple long-term absentees as they bank on the existing players.
Predicted lineup: Vicario; Porro, Danso, Van de Ven, Spence; Palhinha, Bentancur; Johnson, Bergvall, Simons; Richarlison

The last meeting
These sides last met in 2023 as Spurs thrashed Leeds 4-1 away from home to confirm their drop to the Championship. Ryan Mason was the interim manager of Spurs as a Harry Kane brace and goals from Pedro Porro and Lucas Moura did the damage. Sam Allardyce, who was at the helm at Leeds, was unable to prevent the inevitable as Jack Harrison pulled one back for them. Brenden Aaronson and Gnonto are a few of the same players in the Leeds squad from that clash to this.
