Latest Leeds vs Tottenham team information
On Leeds' side, winger Daniel James will be out for a few weeks with an ankle injury sustained in training, while Willy Gnonto (calf) is also absent. Midfielder Harry Gray – brother of Tottenham's Archie Gray – has a hip injury and is doubtful of playing.
Goalkeeper Lucas Perri (muscle injury) returned to training after missing the last three games, but this match came too soon, so Karl Darlow continued to start.
Only three Premier League players have created more chances than Sean Longstaff (8). He also leads the tackles table with Spurs' Joao Palhinha (19). Longstaff is expected to continue in a midfield three alongside Ethan Ampadu and Anton Stach.
For Tottenham, Dominic Solanke has just had ankle surgery and will continue to be sidelined along with James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Radu Dragusin (all knee injuries), Kota Takai (foot) and Yves Bissouma (unknown reason). Randal Kolo Muani (minor leg injury) will be assessed before kick-off.
Richarlison is hoping to make his 250th Premier League appearance this weekend, but having played the full 90 minutes in midweek, manager Frank could rest him and give his chance to Mathys Tel, who was left out of the squad for the Bodo/Glimt game.
Cristian Romero missed the Bodo/Glimt draw as a “back-up” but is likely to return to the starting line-up alongside Micky van de Ven at the heart of defence. Meanwhile, Mohammed Kudus, Xavi Simons, Joao Palhinha and Destiny Udogie are all vying for starting spots.

Latest football commentary on Leeds vs Tottenham
Leeds have won two, drawn two and lost two of their opening six Premier League games after winning the Championship last season to earn promotion. Last weekend they drew 2-2 at home to Bournemouth.
After a 3-1 win over Wolves at Molineux in the previous round, Leeds thought they had all three points against Bournemouth, but let their opponents equalize in the 93rd minute. However, the Whites have gone a full year unbeaten at home in the Premier League, extending their unbeaten streak to 23 consecutive games at Elland Road.
Coach Daniel Farke expressed regret for missing many opportunities before conceding the "heartbreaking" equalizer, but he can also be satisfied as the team has 8 points and is temporarily ranked 12th on the rankings, 4 points above the relegation zone.
Since the start of the season, only three teams have scored more goals from set-pieces than Leeds (4). However, they have also conceded six goals from set-pieces, second only to West Ham (8).
Leeds go into Saturday's game with a poor record against Tottenham: they have lost nine of their last 11 Premier League meetings (W1 D1), including four straight defeats – their longest losing streak against Spurs. They are also winless in their last 11 Premier League games played before 3pm (D2 L9), since a 3-0 win over Chelsea in August 2022.
Tottenham finished September unbeaten in six games in all competitions. However, they have struggled to win, drawing three of their last four and conceding five goals.
Last season, Spurs easily overcame Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League semi-finals with a 5-1 aggregate scoreline, but in the second leg of the Champions League group stage, they had to equalize twice to get a 2-2 result, thanks to an 89th-minute own goal in Norway.
Despite being outplayed for most of the game, coach Thomas Frank was still optimistic, saying that this was “a very valuable point” away from home. Tottenham will now focus on returning to the Premier League with the goal of raising their points tally to 14 and breaking into the top 3.
Spurs have drawn two consecutive Premier League games against Brighton (2-2) and Wolves (1-1) – the same number of draws in the previous 23 rounds (W7, D2, L14). The last time Tottenham drew three consecutive games in this tournament was October-November 2016 (4 games).
Tottenham are confident of winning their last two trips to Elland Road, having won 8-1 on aggregate. If they continue their winning streak, it will be the first time Spurs have won three consecutive games at Leeds.
