Leeds United’s recent matches have ended in calamitous fashion and as they prepare to host Tottenham Hotspur, better defending should be Marcelo Bielsa’s clarion call. They go into this game placed 15th with 23 points while Tottenham are eighth with 39 points. Leeds United are coming from a 6-0 loss away at Liverpool and they have now conceded 17 goals in just their last five league matches. For a while, Leeds seemed like they would get it right against Liverpool, after conceding two first half penalties but they fell apart in the final 10 minutes and there was no coming back. The same was the case against Manchester United earlier, in a 4-2 loss, and now they have suffered four losses in the last five matches, picking just a point out of a possible 15. Leeds have also failed to score in three of their last five and go into this game in a really bad shape. Another loss here could see Leeds United drop into the relegation zone; they are now just three points above the region.

The biggest thing ailing Tottenham’s top four ambitions is the instability coming with their results. They are coming from a 1-0 loss to relegation-threatened Burnley, right after a momentous win over title-chasing Manchester City. There isn’t any doubt Spurs are in better form than Leeds going into this game but in their recent form, the guarantees that they will go to Elland Road and walk out triumphant are few. In three of their last five matches they have suffered losses, and they have also lost four times in the last five league matches. Spurs have been weak defensively and their attack hasn’t also performed as well as it should. In the last five league matches, they have failed to score in three, and conceded two or more goals in four. Spurs do not have a clean sheet in the last six league matches going into this game. Their top four hopes took a big dent with the loss to Burnley; Antonio Conte’s team is now seven points behind fourth placed Manchester United, though they’ve played two games less.
