Leeds travel to North London on Saturday Afternoon to play an out of sorts Spurs side, missing some key players. They have lost three out of their four last matches in all competitions, including a 2-0 midweek Cup defeat at Nottingham Forest, yet maintain 4th place in the top flight with 26 points, eleven more than Leeds.
Son Heung-min has been ruled after undergone surgery on his fractured eye socket, that he sustained against Marseille in the Champions League. Argentinian International Cristian Romero will miss out. The 24yo centre-back has not recovered from a thigh injury. There are doubts over midfielder Ryan Sessegnon who picked up a muscular injury in their 2-0 loss at the City ground.
You have to go back over 21 years since Leeds last beat Spurs in their own backyard (24th February 2001). Goals from Harte (pen) and Bowyer turned the game on it's head after Les Ferdinand had given Spurs the lead. Since then, Leeds knocked them out of the FA Cup in 2013, and comfortably dispatched them 3-1, during the latter part of the 2020/21 season, but but these games were at Elland Road.
Joe Gelhardt will miss the trip to North London this weekend after picking up an injury during the midweek Cup loss at Molyneux. The 20yo is currently being assessed, as to the severity of the ailment. Dallas, Sinisterra, Forshaw and Gray are also ruled out with for the Whites. We await news whether Patrick Bamford will return to the fold. If he does, he'll be on the bench.
