Monday Night Football doesn’t get much more nerve-shredding than this. Tottenham Hotspur, riding the Roberto De Zerbi wave, need three points to push further clear of relegation. Leeds United, calm and unbeaten in six, are knocking on the door of confirmed safety. One team desperately needs this — and that edge might just decide it.

### Spurs vs Leeds Match Overview

### The Stakes Could Not Be Higher

Tottenham start the weekend with their fate in their own hands, lying 17th in the Premier League table with a one-point buffer over West Ham United. They could be four points clear of the drop zone if West Ham lose to Arsenal on Sunday — which would make Monday’s match a potential sealer rather than a scramble.

Leeds, meanwhile, are seven points clear of West Ham with three games remaining. No team has ever been relegated from the Premier League with their current total of 43 points, and 10 of those points have been won across their last four matches alone. [glamsham](https://glamsham.com/?p=392725)

De Zerbi’s Spurs impact is real. His Tottenham side have won possession in the final third 5.3 times per match on average — the highest figure for any manager who has taken charge of 4+ games in the 2025–26 Premier League. [glamsham](https://glamsham.com/?p=392725)

### Team News & Injuries

| Team | Absentees |
| --- | --- |
| Tottenham | Solanke (hamstring), Vicario (hernia), Kulusevski (knee), Odobert (knee), B. Davies (ankle), Kudus (thigh), Simons (knee), Romero (knee) |
| Leeds | Okafor (calf — out for 2 games), Gudmundsson (thigh), Gruev (knee) |

Tottenham were handed injury scares at Villa Park where Bentancur and Richarlison were forced off, but both are expected to be fit for Monday. James Maddison may be in line for his first minutes of the season off the bench. [glamsham](https://glamsham.com/?p=392725)

The crushing blow for Leeds is the absence of Noah Okafor — who had returned seven goal involvements in his last seven Premier League games, including six goals at a rate of one every 68 minutes — after picking up a calf injury. Lukas Nmecha or Brenden Aaronson will deputise. [glamsham](https://glamsham.com/?p=392725)

### Predicted Lineups

**Tottenham (4-2-3-1):** Kinsky; Porro, Danso, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bentancur, Palhinha; Kolo Muani, Gallagher, Tel; Richarlison

**Leeds United (4-4-2):** Darlow; Bijol, Struijk, Rodon; Bogle, Stach, Tanaka, Ampadu, Justin; Nmecha, Calvert-Lewin

### Head-to-Head & Recent Form

Tottenham have won five consecutive Premier League matches against Leeds — including a 2-1 win at Elland Road in October and an enthralling 4-3 home victory in late 2022. History is firmly on Spurs’ side here. [glamsham](https://glamsham.com/?p=392725)

[Tottenham Hotspur](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tottenham_Hotspur_F.C.) may have a poor home record of 11 points from 17 games this season, but De Zerbi’s arrival has sparked a genuine revival. [Leeds United](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leeds_United_F.C.) have drawn eight of their last 10 away games in the top flight — a tendency that could gift Spurs exactly the kind of tight match they thrive in.

### Prediction & How to Watch

Okafor’s absence is huge for Leeds, and Spurs at home with survival on the line carry serious momentum. **Prediction: Tottenham 2–1 Leeds United.**
