Tottenham travel to Leeds this weekend hoping to return to winning ways after two consecutive draws in the Premier League.
That record extends to three draws in their last four in all competitions, after Thomas Frank’s side had to come from behind to snatch a point in the Arctic Circle in a 2-2 stalemate against Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League.
Spurs drew 2-2 with Brighton before being held 1-1 by Wolves, where Joao Palhinha scored a last-minute equaliser at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Leeds, meanwhile, are coming off the back of a win and a draw in their last two outings, beating Wolves 3-1 at Molineux before earning a solid point against Bournemouth.
Daniel Farke’s side sit 12th in the Premier League table, with Spurs in fourth.

Leeds vs Tottenham is scheduled for a 12.30pm BST kick off on Saturday October 4, 2025.

Leeds vs Tottenham team news
Dominic Solanke is the most high-profile absentee for Spurs after Thomas Frank ruled him out of the north Londoners’ trip to Norway, and it seems as though he won’t travel to Yorkshire either.
The striker is still struggling with an ankle injury that has plagued his start to the campaign.
Elsewhere, James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Radu Dragusin, Kota Takai, and Yves Bissouma are the longer-term absentees, but there could be a boost for Spurs with the return of new striker Randal Kolo Muani from a dead leg.
As for Leeds, they have three injury concerns. First-choice goalkeeper Lucas Perri is out until after the international break with a thigh issue, while wingers Wilfried Gnonto and Daniel James are sidelined with calf and ankle injuries respectively.
Leeds vs Tottenham prediction
Even with their injury problems, you would expect Tottenham to take three points here, but they have looked disjointed in attack in recent weeks.
New star signing Xavi Simons hasn’t fully convinced in his first few games as he acclimatises to English football, and he was dropped to the bench for the trip to Norway in midweek.
However, the Dutchman and fellow new recruit Mohammed Kudus were called upon to dig the north Londoners out of the hole they found themselves in in the Arctic Circle.
Leeds are a dangerous opponent - especially at home - and have their own threats, like Noah Okafor and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who seems to have hit some form since his arrival from Everton.
Draw, 1-1.
