The full picture

Tottenham is set to face Leeds United away from home at lunchtime, with Roberto De Zerbi's team looking to achieve their fourth successive win. The match is a change from their usual Saturday evening slot, offering some respite. Leeds, under Daniel Farke, has been stubborn opposition since switching to a back three in 2025. The Lilywhites are currently experiencing discontent due to their recent form, with no wins in five games.

Tottenham's predicted lineup includes potential changes, with Pedro Porro likely returning to the starting lineup after six weeks on the bench. Micky van de Ven's status is uncertain due to unsubstantiated rumors about missing training, but Marcos Senesi is ready to fill any potential void. Destiny Udogie is back in contention, but Andy Robertson may be retained due to his recent performances.

The midfield is expected to feature Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes, with James Maddison's availability uncertain due to his absence from training. Conor Gallagher may start if Maddison doesn't play. The flanks are likely to remain unchanged, with Kudus and Tel continuing. The frontline may see Omar Marmoush instead of Dominic Solanke, who has struggled to find his footing.

Source context

Roberto De Zerbi’s Tottenham have finally been offered respite from the Saturday evening slot, and will instead face Leeds United away from home at lunchtime. The Lilywhites claimed victory at Elland Road in the same kick-off slot under Thomas Frank last season, with goals from Mathys Tel and Mohammed Kudus enough to enjoy a 2-1 victory. De Zerbi takes his team up to West Yorkshire off the back of a three-game winning run, and there’s an overwhelming sense in N17 that things are starting to come together.
