Michael Owen predicts Leeds win over Spurs
There is a mood of pessimism amongst many Leeds fans after their last five games have brought only one point, with ten goals conceded in the last two games alone.
However, pundit and ex-Premier League and England footballer, Michael Owen has predicted a Leeds victory, noting their opponents Tottenham Hostpur's own terrible form and calling their recent victory over Manchester City a 'freak result.'
Speaking to BetVictor, Owen said that he felt Leeds' mid-week 6-0 loss to Liverpool was 'rock bottom' and that the Whites would want to show they could respond positively.
"This game could define the rest of the season for these two. As bad as Leeds have been, I still think the desire and mood around the squad will be good. I'm not sure that can be said about Spurs."
The former Liverpool striker predicted a 2-1 victory for the home side.

Tim Sherwood makes Leeds United claim
Ex-Tottenham manager turned pundit, Tim Sherwood has stated that Leeds are capable of beating Spurs this afternoon and is confident that the Whites will be able to retain their Premier League status, despite their poor run of form.
Sherwood referenced how Leeds had struggled badly without Kalvin Phillips and Patrick Bamford and that results against sides like Manchester City and Liverpool wouldn't define their season.
"Tottenham are beatable. After the Lord Mayor’s show against Man City, they go to Burnley and get turned over. They can beat Tottenham.
“Can they beat anyone on what we saw? It’s hard to believe they can beat anyone. I still think they will get enough wins. I think they have done enough to stay up.”
