Leeds needs to beat Tottenham if they stand to have any chance of survival in the Premier League. With United entering Sunday’s round of games in 19th place, Sam Allardyce has only secured one point in his three games in command. To remain up, they must overtake a two-point deficit to 17th-place Everton and hope that Leicester loses. Spurs’ terrible season-ending collapse has caused them to fall to ninth place. On the last day, they might move up or down a spot, but to advance to the Europa Conference League’s early rounds, they must outperform Aston Villa.
Leeds team news
In the first half of Leeds’ 3-1 loss to West Ham, Patrick Bamford was substituted, which might result in Rodrigo receiving the starting striker position in the offense. The Spaniard, though, has his own setback and still has to be evaluated. Tyler Adams, Stuart Dallas, and Luis Sinisterra are still out, while Joel Robles will continue to start in goal in front of Illan Meslier.
Tottenham team news
Cristian Romero and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who are both starters for Tottenham, were absent from the team’s defeat to Brentford the last time around. While the latter player may make a comeback, the former has been ruled out of the trip to Elland Road. After undergoing surgery for a groin issue, Eric Dier’s season is ended. Ryan Sessegnon, Rodrigo Bentancur, and Hugo Lloris are also out for interim manager Ryan Mason.
Leeds vs Tottenham score prediction
On the last day, two teams mired in turmoil face-off, but on Sunday, the focus will be on Leeds’ immediate future in the Premier League. Allardyce has yet to lead the Whites to victory, but he has a wonderful chance to go out on a good note against a Tottenham squad that looked completely lost in the 3-1 loss to Brentford. With Spurs in poor form with just eight points since the beginning of April, Leeds may be able to pull off a victory supported by a raucous Elland Road crowd, but their top-flight fate will rely on the results of the matches at Goodison Park and the King Power Stadium.
