Tottenham Hotspur are looking to strengthen their survival chances on Monday, as they welcome Leeds United to North London.
The travelling Whites have been fantastic since returning from the international break last month, and could see their own survival secured this weekend if Arsenal beat West Ham.
Both sides are in good form ahead of Monday’s bout, with Spurs picking up successive wins against Wolves and Aston Villa, while Leeds have won three of their last four.
Aiming to end the season on a high, Daniel Farke‘s side are looking to continue the run against a Spurs side surging under Roberto De Zerbi.
However, the West Yorkshire outfit are set to face a stern test in North London after the latest prediction from Opta’s supercomputer.

Tottenham favourites to overcome Leeds
Winning 3-1 against Burnley last time out, Leeds did the job once again as they fight for survival.
With a comfortable gap to West Ham in the bottom three, the match against Spurs could well be a bonus for the Whites, though they will absolutely be chasing victory.
Monday’s clash could be tough for Leeds, with Opta’s supercomputer handing the hosts a 50.9 per cent chance of taking all three points – a testament to the uptick in Tottenham form across recent weeks.
With this in mind, the Whites are given a 26.7 per cent chance of taking victory, closer to the 22.4 per cent likelihood of a draw than the figure allocated to Spurs.
However, Leeds will be hopeful they can remain comfortable in the standings, with a keen eye on Sunday.
Leeds’ survival likely to be confirmed early
Heading into Monday, the chances are that Premier League football could well be secured before a ball has been kicked.
Before the international break, the Whites had slipped, with a string of draws dragging them back into trouble.
Since then, Farke’s side have stepped up, with an excellent run putting them on the brink of survival.
With West Ham hosting league leaders Arsenal on Sunday, Leeds fans will be paying close attention, with a win for the Gunners securing their spot in the top flight.
And looking ahead to the weekend, this could well be set to happen, with the supercomputer odds against the Hammers, who have been handed a small 19.3 per cent chance of beating the title chasers.
Leeds are set for a tough test under the lights on Monday, but this time around they aren’t set to be dragged back into trouble.
