Must-win encounter for Spurs in their bid to beat a stunning relegation

Tottenham host Leeds United this evening in a huge clash at the bottom of the Premier League table. Roberto De Zerbi has overseen a bit of a resurgence since his appointment in north London, and the Italian has led Spurs to two straight wins in their battle to stay afloat. Those six points lifted them above the dreaded dotted line last time out.

They were handed a huge boost on Sunday when north London rivals Arsenal clung on for a massive 1-0 win at West Ham United, who now occupy that final place in the drop zone. A win for Spurs here would see them pull away from Nuno Espirito Santo’s side with just two games left to play in the campaign.

Leeds, meanwhile, have propelled themselves away from danger with a strong run of form, and they are seven points clear of the bottom three before kick off, making them mathematically safe. Keep up to date with all the latest from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with our live blog below.

Standard Sport 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.
