Leeds United will host Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League this weekend, and they will look to produce a strong performance in front of their fans.

They are coming into this game on the back of just one win from the last six matches in all competitions. This will be a difficult outing for them, and they will need to raise their performance levels to get something out of this contest.

Tottenham are unbeaten in the last six matches in all competitions, but they have failed to win two of the last four outings. They will look to pick up all three points here, and it will be interesting to see if they can get the job done away from home. There is no doubt that they have quality players at their disposal, and they should be able to pick up a victory against the newly promoted outfit.

Player to watch out for

Mohamed Kudus

The Tottenham attacker has been excellent since joining the club, and he is our key player to watch out for. Leeds have been quite vulnerable defensively, and they have a terrible defensive record against Tottenham.

The African should be able to exploit their vulnerabilities with his pace, flair, and technical ability. He will look to open up chances for his teammates and find the back of the net. Tottenham will need him to step up and produce a defining performance in the final third here.

Prediction

Leeds 1-2 Tottenham

Both teams will be looking to pick up a win here, and this will be a close contest. Neither side is defensive in their approach, and this will be an open game with a fair few chances. Both teams are likely to get on the scoresheet, but Tottenham have more quality in the attacking unit. They should be able to grind out all three points here.
