Resurgent Spurs searching for third win on the bounce in relegation battle

After a shock 2-1 win at fifth-place Aston Villa last weekend to follow West Ham’s listless 3-0 loss at Brentford, Spurs leapfrogged their London rivals out of the bottom three by a single point with three games to go to offer real renewed hope of avoiding a disastrous first relegation to the second tier of English football since 1977.

It felt like a real momentum-changing weekend in the battle to avoid the drop as injury-ravaged Tottenham, albeit playing against a much-rotated team with one eye on the Europa League semi-finals, made it back-to-back wins under Roberto De Zerbi with arguably their best performance of the season - and it would have been three in a row were it not for a last-gasp equaliser conceded against Brighton last month.

Spurs will look to continue that feel-good factor as they host Leeds on Monday night, by which time they could be back in the bottom three if West Ham - whose goal difference is much worse than Tottenham’s - manage to topple leaders Arsenal against the odds at home on Sunday afternoon.

This would previously have been dubbed as a massive relegation six-pointer, but Leeds - along with Nottingham Forest - have since pulled clear of danger to make it a straight fight between Tottenham and West Ham, with Daniel Farke’s beaten FA Cup semi-finalists currently sitting 14th and seven points clear of trouble after winning three of their last four league games.

Tottenham vs Leeds is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off on Monday May 11, 2026.

The match will take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in north London.

TV channel: The game will be broadcast live in the UK on Monday Night Football via Sky Sports, with coverage beginning at 7pm BST on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League.

Live stream: Sky Sports subscribers can also watch the match live online via the Sky Go app.

Tottenham vs Leeds team news

Antonin Kinsky will remain in goal for Tottenham, with Guglielmo Vicario not yet ready to return from hernia surgery.

De Zerbi hopes that Dominic Solanke will be back in contention following a hamstring injury against Chelsea next week, with the Spurs boss reporting no fresh injury worries.

A lengthy injury list includes Cristian Romero, Xavi Simons, Mohammed Kudus, Dejan Kulusevski, Wilson Odobert and Ben Davies, while Richarlison did not train on Wednesday after a knock suffered against Villa.

De Zerbi allayed any concerns after the win at Villa Park that Micky van de Ven and Rodrigo Bentancur had picked up new injuries, while James Maddison was an unused substitute for the third game in a row as he awaits his first appearance in a year following a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament.

Leeds are still without Swedish left-back Gabriel Gudmundsson due to a hamstring injury, while Bulgarian midfielder Ilia Gruev will miss the rest of the season with a meniscus knee injury sustained in training.

Tottenham vs Leeds prediction

Spurs fans will hope a real corner has been turned at last thanks to the impact of De Zerbi, whose methods appear to be having a real effect on the squad in the short-term.

They seem to be playing with more belief, confidence and momentum at long last, showing so much more fight.

It would not be at all surprising to see them chalk up another vital win here, though Leeds are in strong form themselves and know how to grind out results.

While they have won only two away games in the league all season, eight of their 17 fixtures on the road have finished level, while Tottenham have only won two at home in the top-flight this term.

Draw, 1-1.
