Elland Road, Leeds
Saturday 7 November, 12:30pm UK time
Leeds United host Tottenham Hotspur at Elland Road in Saturday's 12:30pm kick-off, with the visitors chasing a fourth straight Premier League win against a Leeds side who have now gone five league games without a victory.
Leeds in 12th are only one point behind ninth-placed Spurs, who have 12 points, and both Daniel Farke and Roberto De Zerbi will know the importance of taking three points ahead of the November international break.
Preview: Leeds vs Tottenham form guide
Leeds have not won in the league since beating Newcastle United 4-1 at Elland Road on 14 September, drawing three times and losing twice in the five games since, with their latest defeat a 2-0 loss at Bournemouth on 31 October.
That match was particularly painful for Farke given goalkeeper James Trafford gifted the Cherries a goal from a goal kick, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin saw his strike ruled out for handball when the scoreline was level.
The hosts can at least boast that they have been difficult to beat at Elland Road considering they are yet to experience defeat at the stadium this season, winning once and settling for stalemates on three occasions.
However, it will be a slight concern to the head coach that his players have scored one or fewer goals in three of their four home fixtures this season, with four of their six goals at the ground coming against Newcastle.
Tottenham's season began in worrying fashion, with just two points from their first five league games, and supporters were reminded of 2025-26, when they finished in 17th place.
The turning point came at Old Trafford on 10 October, where they earned a 1-1 draw with 10 men after Rodrigo Bentancur was sent off.
Wins over Coventry City (3-1) and Chelsea (2-0) in the Premier League followed, the latter only their second victory at Stamford Bridge in 36 years.
Crystal Palace were then beaten 2-0 on 31 October, giving Spurs three consecutive league wins for the first time since February 2025, though they were admittedly aided by the fact the Eagles were reduced to 10 men in the first half.
There is still some concern about the lack of productivity in the forward line considering both goals against Palace came from defenders at corners, while centre-back Jan Paul van Hecke is the club's leading scorer in the league (two).

James Maddison was declared fit after a groin problem forced him off at Chelsea, but he stayed on the bench against Palace, with De Zerbi explaining it was just to manage his fitness.
Lucas Bergvall (knee) and Tosin Adarabioyo (calf) are pushing to return, with De Zerbi suggesting both could be available, though not from the beginning.

Head-to-head: Leeds vs Tottenham record
Leeds have not beaten Tottenham in six league meetings since a 3-1 home win in May 2021, and they were concerningly defeated in five of those clashes.
Spurs have won on each of their last three visits to Elland Road, winning 4-0 in February 2022, 4-1 in May 2023 and 2-1 in October 2025.
In that most recent meeting at Elland Road, Mathys Tel and Mohammed Kudus scored either side of an Okafor equaliser.
Last season's meeting in north London in May finished 1-1, with Calvert-Lewin's penalty cancelling out Tel's opener at a time when Spurs were still fighting relegation.
Across 105 meetings in all competitions, Leeds have won 31 games, Tottenham have won 38 times, and the two have settled for draws on 28 occasions.
