Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham fail to deliver. Once again, Spurs disappointed in Wednesday night’s catch-up game at Burnley. With 0:1 the Londoners lost their Premier League match and accordingly could not build on their success over Manchester City. Thus, after the final whistle at Turf Moor, it was also the fourth defeat from the last five matches. Coach Antonio Conte then talked about leaving the club as head coach. There is a lot wrong with the north Londoners. To turn things around, Spurs need to win their next game.
With Leeds United, Tottenham await a team that is even worse off mentally and athletically. The magic of their coach Marcelo Bielsa has completely worn off. The Whites are conceding defeat after defeat and are deep in the relegation battle. Leeds also played a catch-up game on Wednesday. The team from the northern English county of Yorkshire lost 6-0 at Liverpool. Whether Leeds will suffer another defeat against Tottenham, you can read in our Leeds – Tottenham betting tip.

Leeds Form & Balance Check
Leeds United are winless in five games. The unfortunate thing is that the Whites are not only deep in the relegation battle because of it, but are being mauled game after game. Coach Marcelo Bielsa’s side lost 6-0 at the Reds on Wednesday night. In doing so, Leeds failed to show any reaction to their previous 4-2 defeat to Man United. The Whites have lost a full four games out of their last five. Only the 3-3 draw at Aston Villa ensured that the record did not show five defeats in a row. With 23 points, the Whites are in 15th place in the table. Leeds are only three points clear of the first relegation place.
Ten goals conceded in two games
With 56 goals conceded, Leeds United have overtaken promoted Norwich as the worst defensive side in the Premier League following their defeat at Liverpool. In the last two games, keeper Meslier had to make ten saves. Before those games, Leeds had already lost 3-0 goalless to Everton. The Whites need fresh impetus as soon as possible to pick up points in the relegation battle.

Tottenham form & balance check
Slowly put, Antonio Conte has had enough. With 0:1 the Spurs lost their catch-up game at the relegation aspirants Burnley on Wednesday night. This was also the fourth defeat from the last five games. Along with that, Tottenham were unable to build on their 3-2 win over Man City. Conte began to doubt himself after that defeat. The coach said: “For the first time in my life there are four defeats in five games. Maybe I’m not that good.” The sporting situation is “very frustrating” for the Italian. Currently, Spurs are only in 8th place in the table.
Change situation
Currently Tottenham are a full seven points off 4th place in the table. However, the North Londoners have played two games less than Man United, so Spurs have it in their own hands to still compete for the Champions League places. If the north Londoners win both of their catch-up games, they would be just one point behind Manchester United. With 14 games left in the season, Tottenham still have every opportunity to reassure their manager and achieve their goal of the season.

– Tottenham are in 8th place in the table with 39 points.
– Spurs picked up just one win from their last 5 games.
– Most recently Tottenham lost 1-0 at Burnley.
Predicted line-up – last update on 25 February 2022
Marcelo Bielsa has to come up with something. Against Liverpool, Leeds went down completely and that despite the fact that Leeds only played on the counter-attack. With Spurs also likely to have the most possession, expect the Whites to be on the counter-attack again.
Tottenham must show a reaction. Spurs need to act more boldly and especially offensively. Reguilon will move into the starting eleven for Sessegnon to liven up the left side. Similar is likely to be the case for Moura, who will replace Kulusevski.
