Tottenham Hotspur remain deeply entrenched in a relegation battle, but the long-awaited return of James Maddison from injury has ignited hopes that he can provide the crucial difference in their fight for survival.

The midfielder made his first competitive appearance in 375 days on Monday, coming off the bench in the 85th minute of Spurs’ 1-1 draw at home to Leeds.

Maddison’s prolonged absence has been a significant blow to Tottenham’s already challenging season. A partial tear of his anterior cruciate ligament last May was followed by a complete rupture during a pre-season friendly in August, compounding a series of other injury problems that have severely hampered the club.

Following his brief but bright cameo against Leeds, which leaves Spurs 17th in the Premier League with a two-point cushion and just two games remaining, a candid Maddison described the current campaign as "one to forget" for everyone associated with the club.

However, after a frustrating period watching from the sidelines, Maddison is finally able to contribute. His former manager, Daniel Farke, who witnessed his comeback firsthand, expressed no doubt about the "baller’s" potential impact, especially after Maddison nearly won a stoppage-time penalty against Leeds.

Farke, under whom Maddison flourished at Norwich, shared his admiration: "I have a soft spot for James Maddison. He was my player when he was pretty young. If you love football, then you love James Maddison because he is a pure baller. For me, he is one of the most creative, gifted and talented midfield players in England."

The Leeds boss added: "You feel (sorry) when such a great footballer and even better human being is out for such a long time, but I was just delighted to see him back in the last matchday squads.

“What he has shown in the last few minutes, although he was out for such a long time, he can be there with a decisive pass, or a decisive cross or a decisive set-piece.

“He is also smart in and around the box to win sometimes smart free-kicks or perhaps even try to win a penalty sometimes. It’s always good when you have an option like James Maddison. I’m pretty sure he will and can play an important part in the run-in."

Maddison’s proven attacking prowess, having registered 12 goals and 11 assists last season, underscores the creative void Spurs have endured.

No Tottenham player has reached such attacking tallies this season, and the club has suffered a string of unwanted records, including a 15-match winless run in the Premier League.

Without Maddison’s creativity, Spurs have struggled to score goals from open play and take control of matches, exacerbating their precarious position and increasing the risk of a seismic first relegation in 49 years.

While recent changes have aimed to breathe fresh life into an injury-hit and abject Tottenham team, Maddison could be the much-needed ace in the pack.

Even if Maddison is likely limited to substitute appearances against Chelsea and Everton, his composure, calm, and quality in the final third are expected to significantly aid Spurs, regardless of the game’s state.

Daniel Levy has said “not in a million years” did he see signs during his time as Tottenham chairman that the club might end up in a relegation battle.

Speaking to the Press Association at an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle on Wednesday, Levy, who stepped down from his role after almost 25 years in September, said “relegation was not something we ever considered” when he was overseeing the building of the £1billion Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 2019.

Spurs are two points clear of the Premier League drop zone, having secured just 38 points from 36 games so far this season, taking until 25 April to win a league game in 2026.

Asked how he felt about the club’s league position, he said: “Emptiness… but I’m optimistic that we will remain in the Premier League.”

He answered “never, no, not in a million years” when asked if he saw any signs the club would end up in a relegation scrap.

Despite the team’s poor showing in the league Levy said he would continue attending matches, adding: “It’s in my blood.”

Levy was made a CBE by the Prince of Wales for services to charity and the community in Tottenham, supporting education, health and social inclusion and creating jobs through the construction of the stadium.

“I think Tottenham fans should be proud that the club has made such a fantastic contribution to the local population,” he said.

Having been in charge of Tottenham for 24 years, Levy was the Premier League’s longest-serving chairman, but he was accused by fans of prioritising the club’s business interests over delivering success on the pitch.

Levy said he had hoped to win more silverware during his time in charge, adding: “What I would have hoped for is winning the Premier League, winning the Champions League… easier said than done.”

He said he spoke about Aston Villa with William, who is a long-standing Villa fan, when he received his honour.

“I thanked him for allowing us (Tottenham) to beat Aston Villa when we played them a few weeks ago,” he said.

“He wished us luck the rest of the season, very much hoping that Tottenham survive in the Premier League.”

Daniel Levy has said “not in a million years” did he see signs during his time as Tottenham Hotspur chairman that the club might end up in a relegation battle.

Sweden manager Graham Potter has unveiled his squad for the upcoming World Cup, and notably omitted Tottenham Hotspur forward Dejan Kulusevski, who has been sidelined for a year with a knee injury and failed to recover in time for the tournament.

While Potter’s 26-man selection contained few major surprises, many observers had anticipated the 26-year-old Kulusevski’s inclusion if there was even a remote possibility of him playing a part. However, the coach has ruled out what would have amounted to a miraculous return.

"A very, very difficult decision in terms of where he (Kulusevski) has been, what he's done over the last year, where he's at in terms of his rehab with four and a half weeks to go to that first game," Potter told a media conference.

"Once those games start, you're not really in a place where you can start playing in big areas, spaces and then be able to work. So it's very, very difficult to get up to where we need them to be, and so you have to make a very tough decision."

Fellow forward Alexander Isak, who has also contended with injuries this past season, has made the cut, with Potter expressing confidence in his ability to perform once the tournament commences.

"We obviously hope he finishes the season in Liverpool with some game time," Potter said. "Our challenge is to get Alex in the best moment of the season and for him to hit top form, because if he does, he's a world-class player."

Sweden endured a challenging qualifying campaign, finishing bottom of their group with just two points. However, their performance in UEFA Nations League C provided a route through the playoffs, where victories over Ukraine and Poland secured their place at the finals.

"It's incredibly exciting, a huge honour for me," Potter remarked before announcing the squad. "The positive response from our supporters has been fantastic, and now we're looking forward to creating more memories together during the World Cup."

The Swedes will kick off their Group F campaign against Tunisia in Guadalupe, Mexico, on 14 June, before travelling across the border to Texas for matches against the Netherlands in Houston and Japan in Arlington.

Sweden squad:

Goalkeepers: Kristoffer Nordfeldt (AIK), Viktor Johansson (Stoke City), Jacob Widell Zetterström (Derby County)

Defenders: Daniel Svensson (Borussia Dortmund), Victor Lindelof (Aston Villa), Isak Hien (Atalanta), Carl Starfelt (Celta Vigo), Elliot Stroud (Mjallby AIF), Gustaf Lagerbielke (Braga), Gabriel Gudmundsson (Leeds United), Emil Holm (Juventus), Hjalmar Ekdal (Burnley), Erik Smith (St. Pauli)

Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi believes the officials “suffered the pressure” following VAR controversy in the West Ham-Arsenal game after Spurs dropped crucial points against Leeds in the battle for Premier League survival.

De Zebri felt the referee Jarred Gillet was “not calm” during the 1-1 draw at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which featured yet more drama a day after West Ham saw a last-minute equaliser ruled out in the “biggest decision in VAR history”.

After giving Spurs the lead with a fine finish, Mathys Tel’s attempted overhead kick clearance struck Leeds captain Ethan Ampadu in the face, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin scoring from the spot. Then, in the 13th minute of stoppage time, James Maddison went down in the box but VAR deemed Lukas Nmecha played the ball.

“I think they were not calm today, maybe they suffered the pressure of yesterday's Arsenal game,” De Zerbi said when asked about the decisions from the officials. “For sure we suffered the pressure today. We didn't play with passion with the ball, too frenetic but also the referee was not calm today.”

James Maddison has declared himself ready to tackle Tottenham’s precarious Premier League position head-on, as he aims to help the club avoid relegation after a "season to forget".

The midfielder made his long-awaited return to competitive action following a year-long injury lay-off, featuring in the latter stages of Spurs’ 1-1 draw against Leeds on Monday night.

The result leaves the north London side in 17th place, just two points clear of the relegation zone.

Maddison, 29, entered the pitch to a thunderous reception, making an encouraging cameo that saw him nearly win a stoppage-time penalty. He revealed that any personal concerns about his comeback quickly faded as the urgency of the situation took over.

"It’s been a tough season for Tottenham. Really tough for the fans, really tough for the players. Lots of manager changes. It’s been a season to forget really. Not being able to affect it and help the club has been difficult," Maddison stated.

He added: "Once I was out there and the first 30 seconds to a minute had gone by, it was like ‘now I’m on the pitch we need to get a winner here’. The nice moment had gone. It was almost straight down to business.

“I would rather be safe and come on and enjoy and build up slowly, but that’s not the situation we are in. When you are on the pitch you forget about anything else anyway when the adrenaline kicks in. When you get your first touch it’s just another game and I felt really good."

Maddison’s journey back to the pitch has been arduous, beginning with a partial tear of his anterior cruciate ligament last May during Spurs’ 3-1 Europa League victory over Bodo/Glimt.

Despite an external specialist advising against surgery, the injury did not recover properly, leading to a full rupture in a pre-season friendly against Newcastle on 3 August and subsequent surgery in South Korea.

Reflecting on his ordeal, Maddison said: "In my head it goes back to the Europa League semi-final here when I got injured, because I did a partial ACL tear against Bodo/Glimt. I was told by the (external) specialist it wouldn’t need surgery and rehab.

“Then obviously it wasn’t strong, it didn’t recover properly and I needed the full surgery which is what happened in South Korea. That being said, that was still an amazing moment which will live with me forever that reception I got. There have been some dark days in the last year, especially since the surgery."

He continued: "It has been a really tough year for me mentally but I’m at the end of the tunnel now so I can kind of look back on that with fondness because I’m as mentally strong as I can be after going through that.

“Physically I feel really good, so the moment personally is something that will live with me forever the reception Spurs fans gave me."

Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi had frequently praised Maddison’s influence within the dressing room even before his return to fitness. The England international confirmed his efforts to impress upon his teammates the gravity of their situation and what it means to the club’s supporters.

"I always try and help," Maddison explained. "Being from this country and knowing what it means for the fans, I can feel that and portray that in a way to players from other countries or who don’t speak the language so perfectly or younger players who maybe don’t understand as much as I do.

“I just try to help and say whatever I feel will help the team or the individual player."

Yet another game dictated by VAR now, rather fittingly, looks set to bring the 2025-26 relegation battle down to the tightest of margins. That, however, is only going to cause emotions to waver as wildly – and as cruelly – as we saw in this 1-1 draw between Tottenham and Leeds.

A big week for officials somehow had another crescendo. Some might say a nadir, given it makes for an even bigger season for officials.

Two successive VAR calls saw Roberto De Zerbi and most of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium quickly go from exhilaration to exasperation.

James Maddison, finally returning as a sub after Dominic Calvert-Lewin had equalised from a VAR-granted penalty, was denied what would have almost been a deus ex machina of an intervention. He ghosted into the box to be felled by Lukas Nmecha… only for Jared Gillett to quickly rule that it wasn’t a foul.

And, from all that, what must Nuno Espirito Santo be thinking?

Just 28 hours before this, the West Ham United manager was philosophically lamenting the “duality” of Premier League directives on grappling. He now might be left musing – a little more hopefully - on the duality of VAR. It takes away. It gives. Gillet was here almost as big a character as Chris Kavanagh had been at the London Stadium on Sunday.

There should be significant mention of Antonin Kinsky, however, who here offered a brilliant save from that could yet be as important as David Raya’s - and was probably even more difficult.

For now, two successive decisions have ultimately granted West Ham a huge reprieve after Sunday’s dejection against Arsenal. The 1-1 draw from Calvert-Lewin’s penalty and that Maddison decision now leave West Ham a mere two points behind Spurs rather than four.

That can turn in one match, rather than requiring two. And next up is Newcastle United away for West Ham, and Chelsea away for Spurs.This is going to be nerve-shredding.

This one was bad enough for Spurs, if also so frustrating in its own way.

They saw glimpses of what this season could have been, what Mathys Tel might yet be, without all the immense weight of this campaign.

Leeds only added to that by not letting any satisfaction at survival dim their intensity.

That was the other twist to that West Ham result. The 1-0 Arsenal win ensured Leeds secured survival, but they looked in the mood to build on it right now rather than rest on it.

They were up for it. Their fans were even up for goading Spurs by singing “Leeds are staying up”.

This was just another game under De Zerbi, however, which showed how Spurs should never have been in this situation in the first place.

When you see how aggressive they look now, how tactically coherent they are a proper identity already, it’s impossible not to wonder why they wasted such time with the Igor Tudor experiment. Why not go bigger for De Zerbi earlier, if this was what it meant?

Long before Tel’s supreme opener, they were laying siege to the Leeds goal. Joao Palhinha burst through for a shot that was somehow blazed over. Rodrigo Bentancur had a header he should have scored. Pedro Porro was creating chaos from one side, Tel from the other.

It looked like something had to give - only for Spurs to give up space at the other end. This obviously remains a flawed and stretched squad, which is why they were always going to be stretched on the actual pitch, too.

There was already one warning when Calvert-Lewin got through shortly before half-time, only to be felled by Destiny Udogie. It looked a certain penalty - until it was shown that Calvert-Lewin had trailed offside by a toe. That’s how much there was in it.

If only the gaps in the Spurs team were as tight.

A further issue for De Zerbi was that he was fighting against time in another way. With so few attacking options on the bench beyond Maddison, the Italian essentially had to bank on his forwards producing before they significantly flagged. Just another exasperation on the night was that they did that.

On 50 minutes, Tel fulfilled some of the potential he has shown in an occasionally frustrating spell at the club. He scored a goal that would have been worthy of keeping them up. Opportunistically placed to receive the ball in plenty of space from a deflected corner, the winger still had a lot to do. And how he did it.

Tel guided a supreme shot into the top corner of Karl Darlow’s net. It was gloriously soaring, and suggested that Spurs might just keep going with it. They of course tired, however, and came down with a bang.

Or, rather, Tel did.

On 73 minutes, after a spell where Leeds had started to get on the front foot again, Ethan Ampadu looked like he might get in behind. All that was blocking him was Tel. And if the winger’s first major moment made you wonder how he did it, the question here was again what was he thinking.

Tel inexplicably tried to bicycle kick the ball away with Ampadu so close, ensuring he also made contact with the midfielder’s head.

Referee Jarred Gillett really had no choice, even though a needlessly long wait eventually saw him have to make a very definite choice by going through the protocol of looking at the monitor.

There was no such hesitation about Calvert-Lewin. He finished the penalty brilliantly, to re-ignite this survival battle.

Tottenham v Leeds LIVE: Team news as unchanged Spurs try to deliver Premier League relegation hammer blow to West Ham

Roberto De Zerbi’s improved Spurs can move four points clear of West Ham in the drop zone with just two games remaining if they beat a Leeds side who are now mathematically safe

Leeds assistant manager identifies Roberto De Zerbi impact on Tottenham

Tottenham are a team transformed since that win – and not necessarily for the better after things deteriorated under Thomas Frank before the brief Igor Tudor era/error. But Leeds assistant Edmund Riemer thinks Roberto De Zerbi has shown his quality already.

"It is not for me to judge from the outside but he has an impact on the players, they follow what he says, what he wants to do,” Riemer explained. “He gives them confidence. You see his patterns coming through, week to week, and results help. They're getting the confidence. It's becoming a different Tottenham than before."

What is at stake for Leeds?

We’ve focused a lot on why tonight matters so much for Tottenham, but Leeds have plenty to play for, still, despite now being mathematically certain of safety. A win would likely leave them in 14th, barring an unlikely heavy margin of victory, and the resulting boost in Premier League prize money for climbing even just a couple of places is not insignificant. Credit must go to Daniel Farke, though, for his work this season – it looked very unlikely both he and Leeds would survive it, at one stage.

Tottenham on course for Premier League record

A Tottenham win tonight could actually harm their chances of a Premier League record. 70.3 per cent of their points so far come on the road, which according to the BBC and Opta is the highest proportion of away points won by any team in any Premier League season. I don’t think Roberto De Zerbi would mind too much if that number slips a little.

Tottenham vs Leeds betting tips

Tottenham host Leeds United in Monday Night Football this evening as Roberto De Zerbi’s side look to take a huge step towards Premier League survival (8pm, Sky Sports Main Event).

West Ham’s loss to Arsenal on Sunday means that the battle for the final relegation spot stays between Spurs and the Hammers, but De Zerbi’s men can go four points clear of their closest rivals with two games to go if they manage a win this evening.

The victory over a second-string Aston Villa last week provided a huge boost for Spurs and may well prove to be the key result that keeps them up, with the Lilywhites now priced at 9/2 to go down and betting sites slashing West Ham’s relegation odds to as short as 1/7 after their dramatic loss to the Gunners.

Elsewhere, that win for Arsenal yesterday means Leeds are now guaranteed to stay up and, with Daniel Farke’s side playing with no pressure and plenty of freedom, it could either be a far easier or much tougher game than usual for the hosts tonight.

As it goes, Spurs are heavy favourites with most football betting sites as they fight to preserve their top-flight status, with Tottenham priced around 4/5 for the win versus odds as high as 16/5 for a Leeds victory.

Tottenham vs Leeds betting preview: Hosts to take huge step towards survival?

Tottenham and West Ham are separated by just a point going into tonight’s game, though Spurs can go four above the Hammers by clinching a potentially vital win this evening.

Thankfully for Spurs, this pivotal game comes against a Leeds side who are now guaranteed another season in the top flight after results elsewhere went their way this weekend. What this means for the Leeds performance this evening is anyone’s guess, but considering that relief, the potential of Farke’s side being mentally “on the beach” and Spurs’ impressive win last time out against Villa, it’s easy to see why the hosts are the favourites.

Spurs’ win over Villa was their second league victory since the start of February, though they’ve now won two on the trot after beating Wolves at the end of April. However, they had conceded at least one goal in each of their last 12 games before that Wolves win, last keeping a clean sheet against Frankfurt at the end of January and conceding 29 times in that period.

As for Leeds, they come into this match in decent form having won three of their last five league games, though they have kept just two clean sheets in their last 10 matches in all competitions, while scoring 15 in that time.

With the pressure off they may start to play even better. However, at the same time it is hard to see Spurs not putting in a decent performance as they fight for survival, and this game might be the one that shows whether or not De Zerbi has managed to truly improve his failing side.

With that in mind – as well as both teams’ penchant for leaking goals – we think a wager on Spurs to win and both teams to score is a sensible bet.

Tottenham vs Leeds prediction 1: Tottenham to win and both teams to score - 9/4 Betfred

Richarlison to drive Spurs’ survival bid?

Tottenham forward Richarlison appears to be one of those players who has immediately benefitted from the change in manager, with the Brazilian getting the assist for the winner against Wolves and then scoring the eventual winner himself last time out against Villa.

The 29-year-old has just 10 goals for Spurs this season from 29 games, but he played his first full 90 since March last week and has been tasked with carrying the side’s goalscoring burden due to the injury to Dominic Solanke.

After some time out with a hamstring injury at the start of the year, Richarlison has now scored three goals in his last seven games, though with a more important role in the team – being deployed as a striker rather than a winger – he will likely find goals easier to come by at the end of the season.

Richarlison is 11/10 to score at any time on some betting apps, while those bettors wanting to play it a little safer can get odds of 3/4 on his registering a goal or assist.

Tottenham could take a huge step towards Premier League survival as they host Leeds on Monday night.

West Ham’s dramatic defeat to Arsenal ensured that they remain a point behind their relegation rivals, and Roberto De Zerbi’s side will hope to widen the gap as they fight to stay up.

That result at the London Stadium yesterday means that Leeds are mathematically safe, though Daniel Farke will want a strong finish to a season in which he has done fine work.

Can they give West Ham a major boost by taking points off the home side?

Here’s everything you need to know.

Tottenham vs Leeds is due to kick off at 8pm BST on Monday 11 May at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the match live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League, with coverage on the channels from 6.30pm BST. A live stream will be available via Sky Go and NOW.

Tottenham have no fresh injury concerns. Dominic Solanke and Guglielmo Vicario are among those out, though the striker could return before the end of the campaign, and James Maddison will be carefully managed as he continues his comeback from a long lay-off.

Pascal Struijk is a doubt for Leeds with a hip issue. Daniel Farke will be without Gabriel Gudmundsson and Noah Okafor.

Tottenham XI: Kinsky; Porro, Danso, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bentancur, Palhinha; Kolo Muani, Gallagher, Tel; Richarlison.
