Daniel Farke was ill last week and had to pull out of the pre-match press conference, with assitant Edmund Riemer facing the questions.
The boss will be on the touchline tonight, though. It was a chance he could have made the press meeting, but alas.
What impact his absence has had on preparations may have been seen today - but the securing of safety shines a new light on proceedings, naturally.
No Bogle in the squad due to hamstring issue - which is also why Buonanotte is also out.
We think it might be Dan James at right-wing back in the usual 3-4-2-1 formation. Youngster Rhys Chadwick also makes the bench.
Read on.
Okafor is the most in-form attacker Leeds have at the moment, having scored six times in his last seven Premier League appearances.
Since the start of February, he has also bagged three assists across all competitions.
His absence means Brenden Aaronson will come back on the left of the two behind the 13-goal Dominic Calvert-Lewin as Leeds try to expose the space behind Pedro Porro, who is expected to be encouraged to attack amid Tottenham’s need for three points.

Noah Okafor is out of the next two games with a calf injury, including next week's final home game against Brighton.
Gabriel Gudmundsson is also out with the hamstring injury he suffered at Wembley. He should be back next week.
Pascal Struijk was a doubt with a hip issue but is expected to make the cut for today.
Leeds reached 43 points with their 3-1 win over Burnley 10 days ago, a tally with which no team has been relegated during the 20-team Premier League era.
Survival was, naturally, the club’s main aim this season despite the noble run to the FA Cup semi-finals.
The 49ers invested more than £100m on 10 new signings in the summer, having maxed out spending limits.
Daniel Farke was on shaky ground in November but the board chose not to dismiss him ahead of the trip to Manchester City and his half-time ingenuity to switch to a back-three formation was ultimately the catalyst of revival form, confidence and results.

With three games to spare, too. The goal this season was always survival and Leeds United have competently clasped it with both hands.
Of course, West Ham's defeat is what sealed the deal, but that underlined the incredible position the club had put itself in. Remember, the last six promoted clubs went straight back down.
The 49ers' goal was to make Leeds an established Premier League club and the past two years have marked key and imperative milestones. Next season, the consolidation project can begin.
But for now, Leeds can play with the shackles off. They deserve this. And they can play a huge role in who goes down too, with Tottenham to play today and West Ham on the final day.
