Fixture Preamble
The team lying fifth plays one sitting comfortably in 12th as things stand … due to the lack of any significant historical enmity among these teams, there probably isn't serious stakes in this one, is there?
Maybe not. But. Spurs have won four consecutive games versus Leeds United, scoring four times in each of the last three. Looking further back, they have secured victories in 11 of the past 13 clashes in the EPL. If they score four more goals this time, they will be the first club ever to notch that number in three straight away games to Elland Road.
A lot of honor on the line for Leeds, who will lean on their strong record at home: they’ve gone 12 months without losing a league game at Elland Road, a run that spans 23 games. One of these streaks must end this afternoon, then. Perhaps both. It will be revealed what’s what from 12.30pm UK time. Let's go!
