Add as preferred source on Google

The Tottenham Hotspur starting line-up for the Premier League match against Leeds United has been confirmed ahead of kick-off.

Tottenham Hotspur are back in Premier League action once more following their 2-1 win over Aston Villa last Sunday.

Roberto De Zerbi’s men will be looking to make it three wins on the bounce after securing back-to-back victories over Wolverhampton Wanderers and Aston Villa in their last two outings.

Standing in their way, though, are Leeds United, whose Premier League safety was confirmed following West Ham United’s 1-0 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday.

Spurs, meanwhile, remain locked in a relegation battle but can hand their survival hopes a major boost with victory tonight at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tottenham have the chance to move four points clear of the drop zone tonight, which firmly piles the pressure on West Ham United with two matches remaining.

Tottenham need a win to all but condemn West Ham to relegation

Although there are no fresh injury concerns, De Zerbi is still without several Tottenham stars heading into this encounter.

The likes of Mohammed Kudus, Wilson Odobert, Ben Davies, Cristian Romero and Dejan Kulusevski all remain sidelined and are set to miss tonight’s game.

Dominic Solanke is also out, but could return before the end of the season. James Maddison is once again included in the matchday squad, while Guglielmo Vicario misses out again.

This is the Tottenham side that takes to the pitch against Leeds United tonight:

Tottenham: Kinsky, Porro, Danso, van de Ven (c), Udogie, Bentancur, Palhinha, Gallagher, Tel, Richarlison, Kolo Muani

Subs: Austin, Drăgușin, Spence, Souza, Bissouma, Maddison, Gray, Bergvall, Sarr

Leeds United: Darlow; Bijol, Struijk, Rodon; Justin, Stach, Tanaka, Ampadu, James; Aaronson, Calvert-Lewin.

Spurs are hoping to end their poor home league form

Spurs are in front of their home crowd tonight and will hope to take advantage of that support.

So far this calendar year, Tottenham remain without a home victory in the top flight, having managed just two all season, one of the worst home records in the top flight.

De Zerbi will now aim to improve that record as Spurs look to move four points clear of the relegation zone with two games left to play after the Leeds match.
