Leeds United vs Tottenham prediction, preview, team news and more | Premier League 2020-21
Leeds United host Tottenham in the Premier League on Saturday as Spurs look to potentially end the weekend in the top five.
Ryan Mason's side are currently sixth in the league, two points behind West Ham in fifth. Spurs have been in terrible form of late, having only won three of their last nine games across all competitions.
Mason will hope his side can make a late push for the top four, as they are only five points off Chelsea, who are currently fourth in the league.
For Leeds United, the surprise loss against Brighton last week ended their impressive six-game unbeaten streak in the league. Marcelo Bielsa's side are currently 11th in the table, with a win on Saturday potentially taking them into ninth in the league.
Both sides have plenty of quality in attack and that is sure to make for an exciting matchup.
