Leeds v Tottenham: match preview

Leeds v Tottenham
Leeds v Tottenham: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: Guardian

Two unhappy managers meet at Elland Road. While Antonio Conte’s Tottenham have lost four of their past five League games, most recently at Burnley in midweek, Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds are on the brink of a relegation battle. Their 6-0 thrashing at Liverpool in midweek emphasised the team’s defensive vulnerabilities but few expect Bielsa to modify his attacking philosophy against Harry Kane and company. Much hinges on which Tottenham turn up; last weekend’s vanquishers of Manchester City or the ensemble that surrendered at Turf Moor. Louise Taylor
