Tottenham Hotspur welcome Leeds United to north London on Monday evening, aiming to extend their recent winning streak and climb further away from the relegation scrap.
Roberto De Zerbi’s side have finally found their stride at a crucial stage of the season. After back-to-back vital wins over Wolverhampton Wanderers and Aston Villa, Spurs now control their own destiny with three games remaining. The Italian manager has instilled a high-pressing, possession-based style that forces 5.3 turnovers per game in the final third. However, the hosts must overcome a dreadful home record to secure their Premier League survival this term.
Tottenham have beaten Leeds in eight of their last nine league encounters and boast five straight victories in this fixture since May 2021. Yet the Lilywhites have lost ten home fixtures for a second consecutive season. A win on Monday would mark three successive league triumphs for the first time since February 2025.
**Tottenham Team News**
Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario remains out after undergoing hernia surgery in March, with Antonin Kinsky continuing between the posts following a series of solid displays. Dominic Solanke is likely to miss out as he recovers from a hamstring issue, but Richarlison and Rodrigo Bentancur are both fit to start. De Zerbi praised his squad’s work rate during another important week at Hotspur Way.
James Maddison could make his first appearance of the season from the bench, although several key players remain sidelined with knee and thigh injuries. Cristian Romero, Dejan Kulusevski, and Wilson Odobert have all been ruled out for the visit of Leeds. Richarlison will lead the line, having averaged a goal involvement every 109 minutes in recent outings. De Zerbi will rely on his high press to unsettle a physically imposing Leeds side.
**Tottenham Predicted Lineup**
Tottenham predicted XI: Kinsky; Porro, Danso, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bentancur, Palhinha; Kolo Muani, Gallagher, Tel; Richarlison.
**Match Details**
The fixture at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium kicks off at 20:00 BST on Monday, 11 May 2026.
