Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to snap a two-game losing streak as they take on Leeds United on Saturday.
Antonio Conte's side allowed Arsenal and Manchester City to gain ground on them with their 2-1 loss to Liverpool last weekend. To make matters worse, their hopes of winning silverware this term were dented in midweek as they were knocked out of the EFL Cup in the third round by Nottingham Forest.
Steve Cooper's men earned a 2-0 win over Spurs on Wednesday night to compound their misery.
Tottenham have now slipped to fourth in the Premier League table with 26 points, one behind Newcastle United who have climbed to third. Spurs have lost three of their last four Premier League matches and there is a feeling that their weaknesses are being slowly exposed.
With the likes of Cristian Romero and Son Heung-Min sidelined for Saturday, Spurs will have their work cut out against Leeds United. They are winless in their last three games at home and will be desperate to turn it around against Jesse Marsch's men.
Leeds United have certainly shown signs of coming together as a group in recent weeks. However, they failed to translate their recent Premier League form into their EFL campaign as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Wednesday.
But wins against Liverpool and Bournemouth will encourage Leeds to fancy their chances as they travel to North London to take on Spurs on Saturday. They haven't won three league games in a row since the last three matchdays of the 2020-21 season and will be keen to get that sorted out against Conte's men.
