Match Preamble
The fifth-placed side plays a team in 12th position before kick-off … considering the lack of any significant historical enmity among these teams, there can’t be serious stakes today, can there?
Not necessarily. However. Tottenham have emerged victorious in their last four matches versus Leeds United, netting four goals in each of the last three. Widen the focus, and they’ve won 11 of the past 13 clashes in the Premier League. If they score another quartet this match, they will be the first club in history to notch that number in three straight away games to Elland Road.
A lot of honor on the line for Leeds United, who can rely on their excellent home form: they’ve gone an entire year without defeat in the league at Elland Road, a run that takes in 23 fixtures. One of these streaks has to snap in this match, then. Or maybe both. It will be revealed what’s what starting at 12:30 UK. Game on!
