Thomas Frank has selected his Tottenham Hotspur team for the Premier League match against Leeds United in Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off.
Tottenham come into the fixture looking for their first league victory after two consecutive draws against Brighton and Wolves.
Spurs drew 2-2 with Brighton and had to rely on Joao Palhinha’s injury-time strike to salvage a point at home to Wolves.
Leeds, meanwhile, are coming off the back of a win and a draw in their last two outings which saw them beat Wolves and take a point against Bournemouth.
What is the Tottenham team vs Leeds United?
Tottenham are still short on attacking options after Dominic Solanke underwent ankle surgery, and during Friday’s press conference, Thomas Frank confirmed Randal Kolo Muani will also miss the match due to a dead leg which has kept him out in recent weeks.
Club captain Cristian Romero returns to the starting line-up having missed Tottenham’s 2-2 draw at Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Tottenham’s form before an international break is poor
Tottenham fans wince when they hear that the international break follows, considering the club’s woeful record.
The Lilywhites haven’t won directly before an international break since October 2023, when they beat Luton Town 1-0 with 10 men under former boss Ange Postecoglou.
