Leeds United vs Tottenham prediction, preview, team news and more | Premier League 2020-21

Leeds United host Tottenham in the Premier League on Saturday as Spurs look to potentially end the weekend in the top five.

Ryan Mason's side are currently sixth in the league, two points behind West Ham in fifth. Spurs have been in terrible form of late, having only won three of their last nine games across all competitions.

Mason will hope his side can make a late push for the top four, as they are only five points off Chelsea, who are currently fourth in the league.

For Leeds United, the surprise loss against Brighton last week ended their impressive six-game unbeaten streak in the league. Marcelo Bielsa's side are currently 11th in the table, with a win on Saturday potentially taking them into ninth in the league.

💬 "I’m always striving to do better, score more goals, more assists, play better and become a better player"

Kalvin Phillips would be a huge miss for Leeds United

Marcelo Bielsa will be sweating on the fitness of Kalvin Phillips after the midfielder picked up a knee injury earlier this month against Brighton. Helder Costa has been ruled out for the rest of the season after picking up a back injury late last month.

Brazilian winger Raphinia could be available for selection after missing the last three games due to injury. Meanwhile, Liam Cooper will return to the squad following his one-match suspension.

Injured: Helder Costa

Doubtful: Kalvin Phillips, Raphinia

Suspended: None

Tottenham will be without Ben Davies for the game on Saturday as the defender continues his recovery from a calf injury he picked up in March.

Apart from that, Ryan Mason will have a full-strength team to choose from.
