Tottenham Form & Balance Check
Now it’s up to Tottenham Hotspur. For under Antonio Conte, Spurs are looking to get back into the top four of the Premier League. After the North Londoners celebrated Conte’s debut with a 3-2 win over Vitesse in the Conference League, they followed it up with a 0-0 draw against Everton on Sunday. Spurs are currently 6 points off the top four. With a win on Sunday, Tottenham could at least leave the current 9th place in the table behind them.
Conte turns Spurs around
After the 0-0 draw at Everton, Spurs now have three winless games in a row on their record. The coach said after the game, “I will be honest, we have to change many things. Every player has to work and improve physically to match my idea of football. The players have to increase their suffering.” Against Leeds, Spurs will be looking to come out with more offence to match Conte’s standards. The omens are good as Tottenham won their last home game against Leeds.

Leeds Form & Balance Check
Leeds United lack the brashness and attack from last season this season. After almost qualifying for international business, coach Marcelo Bielsa’s side have found themselves in a relegation battle this season. After six winless matches to start the season, Leeds needed to pull away from the mire of the relegation zone early on to avoid falling into crisis. After 11 matchdays, however, the Peacocks are getting the better of Spurs. Most recently, they drew respectably 1-1 at cup winners Leicester City.
Sight of improvement
The fact that Leeds United are now 15th in the table and no longer have to join Newcastle, Burnley and Norwich is largely thanks to a strong October. For Leeds won for the first time this season against Watford, but lost again 1-0 in the following match. The crucial thing was that the Peacocks did not let the defeat affect them and are unbeaten in three Premier League matches. Leeds’ last win came against Norwich in their penultimate game.

– 15th place

Predicted line-up – last update on 19 November 2021
Tottenham Hotspur are entering a new system under Antonio Conte. The Italian coach prefers a variable 3-4-2-1 formation. From the approach, the game idea is very offensive. In the basic formation, the full-backs are positioned in midfield and act offensively. In the event of generic possession, they move back into defence and form a five-man backline. Tottenham’s new idea is very run-intensive and designed to score goals.
Leeds are also attacking but trying to implement an orderly game. Coach Bielsa uses a 4-2-3-1 formation for his team’s game idea. The system is variable, as Leeds have the possibility to be dangerous through the centre as well as through the outer lanes.
