Spurs, meanwhile, are occupying eighth position in the table, with 57 points to their name, just a solitary point shy of top-seven.

Leeds United suffered their 20th league-defeat of the season against West Ham last Sunday at the London Stadium despite taking the lead through Rodrigo Moreno’s 17th-minuite effort. Declan Rice’s 32nd-minute equaliser and second-half efforts from Jarrod Bowen and Manuel Lanzini extended the Whites’s winless run to eight games in the top flight. Having taken just two points from their last eight outings, Sam Allandyce’s men are sitting level on points with 18th-placed Leicester City and need to secure all three points on Sunday if they are to give themselves any chance of extending their stay in the top flight, while they must simultaneously pray for West Ham to at least hold Leicester to a draw and for Bournemouth to beat 17th-placed Everton at Goodison Park.
Tottenham, on the other hand, suffered an identical defeat to ninth-placed Brentford last time Saturday. Spurs took an early lead through Harry Kane’s eighth-minute effort, but the Bees came out all guns blazing in the second-half and scored thrice courtesy of Bryan Mbeumo’s brace and Yoane Wissa’s late effort. It was Tottenham’s fifth defeat from their last seven games, while recording only one victory in the process. Antonio Conte’s men have slipped out of the top four courtesy of the poor run of form, and could end the season without European qualification. The North London club will sneak into the Europa Conference League spot with a win, if Villa drops points against Brighton. Meanwhile, a draw would suffice if the Lions Loose out to the Seagulls at Villa Park.
Leeds United probable starting lineup: Robles: Ayling, Kristensen, Wober, Firpo, McKennie, Koch, Harrison, Aaronson, Gnonto, Rodrigo
Tottenham Hotspur: Forster, Porro, Sanchez, Lenglet, Davies, Son, Bissouma, Hojbjerg, Perisic, Kane, Richarlison
