Tottenham and Leeds meet in the Premier League for only the third time since 2004 on Sunday, with domestic football resuming after the November international break.

Spurs are still adapting to life under new manager Antonio Conte, who has overseen a nervy win in Europe but drew his first game back in England last time out.

Leeds have had a difficult start to 2021/22 compared to an impressive return to the top flight last season. Wins have been few and far between but they are at least unbeaten in their last three.

Cristian Romero and Oliver Skipp are ruled out of this one through injury and suspension respectively, although Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is expected to be okay after missing international duty with Denmark because of a knee problem.

Bryan Gil and Ryan Sessegnon have both returned to training and are available for selection. There is, however, still a doubt over Giovani Lo Celso.

Patrick Bamford, Luke Ayling and Robin Koch are all still out in a continued blow for Leeds.

There is at least more positive news for Junior Firpo, who could be available but needs games to build fitness. Jamie Shackleton is in a similar situation to the Spaniard.

Tottenham vs Leeds head-to-head record

Following Leeds' return to the Premier League last season, the home side emerged victorious in each of the meetings between these clubs. Spurs won 3-0 in north London in January, while Leeds took a 3-1 win at Elland Road towards the end of the campaign in May.

Leeds gave Spurs trouble in a pair of FA Cup ties during their time out of the top flight. They forced a fourth round replay while a League One club in 2010, before knocking Tottenham out of the competition as a Championship side in 2013.

Leeds dominated this fixture at their pomp in the late 1990s and early 2000s. During that time, Spurs only won once in a run of 11 games in all competitions between 1997 and 2001. Leeds even won six in a row during one section of that wider streak.


Tottenham vs Leeds score prediction

Even if he hasn't had all of his players in the building with him because of the international break, Antonio Conte has had a bit of time to get his feet under the table and that will be useful.

Leeds have found it hard going this season to get results, but they do pose a danger going forward and should at least cause problems for Spurs. So a clean sheet for either is unlikely.

Prediction: Tottenham 2-1 Leeds
