Leeds United Host Tottenham Hotspur in Premier League Clash

Leeds United host Tottenham Hotspur at Elland Road on Saturday, November 7, 2026, in a Premier League lunchtime fixture broadcast live on TNT Sports 1 and HBO Max. Tottenham enter the match chasing a fourth league victory.

The fixture kicks off at 12.30pm, with Daniel Farke’s Leeds looking to halt a five-match winless run in the top flight. Tottenham arrive in West Yorkshire following a 2-0 home victory over Crystal Palace last weekend, a result that lifted them into ninth place in the Premier League table. Leeds dropped to 12th after a 2-0 defeat away at Bournemouth, where they managed 56 percent of the possession but registered just one shot on target from ten attempts.

Joe Rodon and Noah Okafor return to the matchday squad after injury for Leeds, while Rodrigo Bentancur returns for Tottenham after completing a three-game suspension.

How do recent form and history shape the contest at Elland Road?

Tottenham hold a strong recent record against Leeds, having won the corresponding fixture 2-1 last season through goals from Mathys Tel and Mohammed Kudus, while Noah Okafor scored for the hosts. Spurs also triumphed 4-0 in West Yorkshire in February 2022 and secured a 4-1 away win the following campaign. Leeds have not beaten Tottenham since May 2021, enduring a six-match winless run against them comprising five defeats and a draw.

Despite their recent league struggles, Farke’s side remains undefeated at home this season and has gone nine competitive games without defeat at Elland Road going back to the previous campaign. Tottenham has experienced a reversal in fortunes after a difficult start, building a three-game winning streak that included a 3-1 victory over Coventry City secured by Ben Davies’s 96th-minute goal, alongside 2-0 wins against Chelsea and Crystal Palace.

Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi made one change from the side that beat Crystal Palace, handing Pedro Porro his first starting appearance since September. Spurs line up with Kinsky in goal; Robertson, Van Hecke, Tel, Gray, Tonali, Fernandes, Kudus, Marmoush, Pedro Porro, and Van de Ven. The visiting substitutes are Gunter, Senesi, Gallagher, Maddison, Solanke, Kulusevski, Bentancur, Davies, and Williams-Barnett. Rodrigo Bentancur returns to the matchday squad after completing a three-match suspension.

How does Roberto De Zerbi manage his emerging squad talents?

De Zerbi addressed the integration of 18-year-old playmaker Luca Williams-Barnett, who made his Premier League debut as a late substitute against Crystal Palace with an exhilarating dribble past three opponents. The Tottenham manager confirmed that the teenager was considered for a starting role prior to the Chelsea fixture and maintained that age is secondary to performance quality.

The pre-season, it was clear (he is) a special talent. You recognise the special talent immediately and he doesn’t need to show something special, you understand? Everything that he does (is enough) and he is one of the special talents,

age is secondary to performance quality, personality, the behaviour on the pitch and the qualities. And Luca has all of these qualities.

we don’t pop the champagne corks when we’re winning, and we don’t pop the pills when we lose
