Form and position

Both clubs have won once in their last five recent matches. Leeds have drawn twice and lost twice in that span; Tottenham have drawn twice and lost twice as well. The hosts won 4-1 against Newcastle in mid-September but have not won since, drawing with Crystal Palace and Manchester United either side of a defeat to Arsenal. Tottenham drew with Everton and Manchester United, lost to Liverpool and Aston Villa, then beat Coventry 3-1 in their most recent outing.

Leeds are seventh in the table, level on ten points with Brentford. A win on Saturday would lift them to thirteen points from eight matches; a draw would make it eleven. Tottenham's six points leave them sixteenth. Victory would take them to nine points from eight games; a draw to seven.

Recent meetings

The five most recent meetings between the sides have produced 21 goals. Leeds have not won any of them: they drew 1-1 in May, lost 1-2, 1-4, 3-4 and 0-4 in the four before that. Tottenham have won four of those five encounters, with the other drawn. The pattern is high-scoring, three of the five finished with at least four goals, and one-sided, though Leeds did push them close in the 3-4 defeat.
