In the 35th round of matches in the Premier League this weekend, Leeds United play host to Tottenham Hotspur in a game that means more to the visitors. The hosts go to the game placed 11th with 47 points while Spurs are sixth in the standings on 56 points. For Leeds, survival is guaranteed after a fine show upon returning to the top flight. However, getting to the Europa League slot may be out of reach after the weekend matches. They are coming from a 2-0 loss to Brighton, which marked a second straight game without a goal and a third winless outing. Marcelo Bielsa’s side has one clean sheet in the last five matches but conceded more than a goal in just one of the five matches. At home, they’ve managed just one win in the last five – that came against relegated Sheffield United – but they’ve drawn with Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United in the process. Their only home loss in the last five came against Aston Villa. They haven’t had a really great home run, winning just six of the 17 league matches played there.

Tottenham have all to play for in this game; they are eying a top four finish and being five points below that, a win here will be very crucial. As it stands though, a Europa League place looks more achievable, being two points behind fifth placed West Ham United, and two above seventh placed Liverpool, who have a game in hand. Spurs are coming from a 4-0 win over Sheffield United, their first game since losing the League Cup final to Manchester City. Gareth Bale scored a hat trick in the game, taking his tally in the last two league games to four. It was their first clean sheet in the last five matches across all competitions and after going unbeaten in the last three league games, they have the impetus to go for more in the final stages. Spurs have scored two or more goals in five of their last six league matches and each of their last five has produced over 2.5 goals. It hasn’t been entirely comfortable away from home for Spurs this season; out of 17 matches, they have managed just seven wins. Going to this game, they’re unbeaten in the last three away league matches and though the last two were draws, they’ve scored twice in each.
