Premier League table – as it stands

Tottenham will aim to win in the Premier League for just the fourth time in 2022 when they take on a struggling Leeds side at Elland Road.

Spurs’ 1-0 defeat by Burnley in midweek means they have now lost four out of their last five league games, and which drew a very angry reaction from boss Antonio Conte in his post-match press conference.

Leeds meanwhile have enough problems of their own following a third straight top-flight defeat in their 6-0 loss at Liverpool on Wednesday, and Marcelo Bielsa’s men now sit just three points above the drop zone.

Host commentator

This makes better reading for Spurs fans…

Here’s your 15 minute warning!

Both sets of teams have been out warming up before today’s clash at Elland Road gets underway.

The omens aren’t great for Spurs…

It’s also a massive outing for Bielsa on the back of three heavy defeats against Liverpool, Manchester United and Everton.

They were hammered 6-0 at Anfield on Wednesday, beaten 4-2 at home by United last Sunday and wiped out 3-0 by Everton the previous week.

Another miserable showing against Spurs could leave Bielsa’s position as manager hanging by a thread.

Antonio Conte will be desperate to put three points on the board here after Wednesday’s disappointment at Turf Moor.

The Spurs boss hinted that he could resign from his position after that defeat, saying: ‘I have to talk to the club. I am too honest to close my eyes and continue in this way, and also take my salary.’

Having already suffered four defeats in their last five, Spurs and Conte’s problematic union will be thrown into even more doubt if they fail to bounce back here…

Here are the teams in full…

Leeds: Meslier, Ayling, Llorente, Struijk, Firpo, Koch, Raphinha, Dallas, Forshaw, Harrison, James.

Subs: Roberts, Klaesson, Rodrigo, Gelhardt, Cresswell, Summerville, Klich, Shackleton, Kenneh.

Tottenham: Lloris, Romero, Dier, Davies, Doherty, Winks, Hojbjerg, Sessegnon, Kulusevski, Son, Kane.

Subs: Reguilon, Sanchez, Emerson, Rodon, Bergwijn, Austin, White, Scarlett, Devine.

Referee: Craig Pawson

Spurs have also made two changes to the team that suffered defeat at Burnley.

Bielsa has made a couple of changes to the side that lost 6-0 away at Liverpool in the week.

Hello and welcome to Sportsmail’s coverage of Saturday’s lunchtime Premier League action.

Leeds are looking to record their first win in six against Tottenham, who were beaten 1-0 away at Burnley in the week.

Marcelo Bielsa’s United side have been in dreadful form of late, conceding a staggering 16 goals in their last four outings.

As for Spurs, they moved one step forward and two steps back by following up a dramatic 3-2 win away at Manchester City last weekend by losing at Turf Moor.
