Preview: Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur | OneFootball

Leeds United return to Elland Road on Saturday as they host Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League’s lunchtime kick-off.

The Whites will be keen to extend their impressive unbeaten league form on home soil which last week saw Daniel Farke’s side draw with high-flying AFC Bournemouth.

Leeds were on track for all three points after goals from Joe Rodon and Sean Longstaff put them on course for victory, until the Cherries snatched a cruel late equaliser to salvage a point.

Prior to that clash, an Anton Stach thunderbolt as well as a cultured header from Dominic Calvert-Lewin and a drilled finish from Noah Okafor fired the Whites to victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux.

The German international’s stunning free-kick in the West Midlands was nominated for the Premier League Goal of the Month award, which you can vote for HERE.

Those results leave Farke’s side with a haul of eight points from their opening six encounters on their return to the Premier League, three behind Spurs who sit fourth in the early-season’s congested standings.

After parting company with Ange Postecoglou in the summer, the North London outfit welcomed long-standing Brentford boss Thomas Frank to the hotseat.

The vastly experienced Dane has overseen a promising start to his tenure with the club, though they do come into the encounter on the back of two draws.

Last time out in the league, a last-gasp João Palhinha goal rescued a point against Wolves before the team fought back from behind to draw with Bodo/Glimt on UEFA Champions League duties.

Of the 51 meetings in all competitions between the clubs in West Yorkshire, the Whites have won 24 with 15 ending all square.

Action from Elland Road gets underway at 12:30pm.

The view from inside the camp:

Ahead of the match, in an exclusive interview with Premier League Productions, Anton Stach said: “I think we prepare well every week.

“We have, of course, meetings on how they play, what is the plan, and then we have our own plan and we try to bring the plan on the pitch.

“Of course, with all the basics like we did in the last games with winning the duels, intensity, pressing, taking the atmosphere with us.
