Leeds United are set for a pivotal Monday night clash in North London as they aim to extend their impressive six-match unbeaten run against Tottenham Hotspur. Daniel Farke's side has been a model of consistency in the second half of the season, sitting comfortably in 14th place with 43 points—a tally that has historically guaranteed Premier League safety. Since December, only six clubs have accumulated more points than Leeds' 32, highlighting their remarkable turnaround.
On the road, Farke's men have proven tough to beat, going unbeaten in their last six away fixtures despite drawing eight of their last ten games. Their attacking prowess has been a key factor, with the Whites scoring three or more goals in eight matches this campaign. However, they'll need to overcome a daunting statistic: they've lost each of their last six visits to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Farke faces a significant selection challenge after Noah Okafor was ruled out with a calf strain, sidelining the in-form Swiss forward for the next two games. Okafor had netted six goals since February, leaving a gap in attack. In his absence, Lukas Nmecha is expected to partner Dominic Calvert-Lewin up front. Pascal Struijk missed training with a hip contusion but remains hopeful of featuring, while Farke himself is set to be in the dugout despite recent health concerns.
Injury woes continue with Gabriel Gudmundsson (thigh) and Ilia Gruev (knee) still sidelined. Junior Firpo may make way for Justin at left-back if Farke opts for more physicality. In midfield, Anton Stach and Tanaka will be crucial in controlling the tempo against Tottenham's aggressive high press, which wins possession in the final third 5.3 times per game. Farke will demand a disciplined performance to keep their momentum rolling.
Leeds United predicted XI: Darlow; Bijol, Struijk, Rodon; Bogle, Stach, Tanaka, Ampadu, Justin; Nmecha, Calvert-Lewin.
The Premier League fixture at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium kicks off at 20:00 BST on Monday, 11 May 2026, and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports in the UK.
