Tottenham travel to Elland Road for Saturday’s early kick-off, aiming to end a run of two consecutive draws and get their push for the top four back on track.
Thomas Frank’s side have been solid on the road this season. In fact, they have already picked up seven points from their first three away games.
Spurs will be confident of continuing their recent dominance over Leeds, having won the last four meetings between the clubs. They have also scored four goals on each of their last two visits to this ground. A repeat performance would see them become the first team in history to score four or more goals in three consecutive away league games at Elland Road.
Tottenham manager Thomas Frank has been handed a major fitness boost with the confirmation that defender Cristian Romero will start Saturday’s match. The Argentine has recovered from a foot injury and has trained fully ahead of the game.
There was also positive news regarding Randal Kolo Muani and Kota Takai, who have both returned to training on the pitch. However, Frank confirmed that neither will be in the squad for this weekend’s fixture, though they are closing in on a return.
The team is still contending with an extensive injury list, which includes Dominic Solanke—who is out until after the international break—as well as James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Radu Dragusin, and Yves Bissouma.
Separately, the club received a boost off the pitch this week with the news that midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has signed a new long-term contract.
Tottenham Hotspur predicted XI: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Sarr, Bentancur, Bergvall; Kudus, Simons; Richarlison.
The Premier League fixture will be played at Elland Road on Saturday, 4 October 2025, with kick-off scheduled for 12:30 pm BST.
The match will be broadcast live in the UK on TNT Sports 1, with coverage beginning at 12:00pm BST.
