Tottenham and Leeds United will take on each other in the Premier League matchday 17 on Saturday. The kick-off is at 12:30 GMT.

Preview

Spurs had been mentioned among the favourites to claim the title at the beginning of December but the scenery has changed drastically over the last four weeks. Jose Mourinho's men haven't won a single league game since their victory over Arsenal in the North London derby on December 6. Their current four-game winless streak means that Tottenham will host Leeds sitting in seventh in the table with 26 points.

Marcelo Bielsa's side, meanwhile, continue to struggle with consistency this season as the Whites' 6-2 loss at Man United two weeks ago was followed by confident victories over Burnley (1-0) and West Bromwich (5-0). Leeds are now just three points behind Spurs. Tottenham, however, have a game in hand over Bielsa's men as Spurs' clash with Fulham, that was set to take place on Wednesday, has been postponed due to the Covid-19 outbreak in the Cottagers' squad.

Giovani Lo Celso and Gareth Bale won't play on the weekend through injuries while Carlos Vinicius and Lucas Moura remain doubtful for the hosts.

Leeds, in turn, are set to be without long-term absentees Robin Koch, Gaetano Berardi and Adam Forshaw.

Prediction

With three wins in their last five league games Bielsa's side are very likely to harm Spurs' title hopes on Saturday. Tottenham, however, badly need points in this encounter which promises to be a quite entertaining one with goals from both ends.
