Leeds at Tottenham, safety possible if Arsenal win at West Ham, as Spurs injuries mount | OneFootball

Leeds visit Tottenham next Monday night with relegation stakes and a substantial injury picture on both sides. According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, the combined early update puts eight out, five doubtful and five back.

The match kicks off at eight pm at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, though Leeds' jeopardy could ease a day earlier. If Arsenal win at West Ham on Sunday, Leeds will already be mathematically safe despite Spurs' 2-1 victory at Aston Villa.

Given West Ham's minus 19 goal difference, even a draw would realistically be enough, since the Irons would need to win both remaining matches against Newcastle and Leeds while overturning a 14-goal deficit.

Daniel Farke’s side are not yet safe as they visit a Spurs team now out of the drop zone at West Ham’s expense and one point above the Hammers despite a raft of injuries.

Spurs outs: captain Cristian Romero is out for the season with a knee injury from the 1-0 defeat at Sunderland. Mohammed Kudus is also out for the campaign after a quad setback that may need surgery. Xavi Simons ruptured his right ACL in the 1-0 win at Wolves and faces about eight months out, ending his World Cup hopes.

Wilson Odobert sustained a left ACL rupture in the 2-1 home defeat to Newcastle United and will not return this season. Ben Davies fractured his left ankle against West Ham and had surgery. Dejan Kulusevski has not played since patella surgery last May, underwent further knee surgery in February, has yet to return to training, and De Zerbi hopes he can still play at the World Cup this summer.
