Tottenham Hotspur vs Leeds United

Tottenham Hotspur hosts Leeds United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, November 12, at 10:00 AM ET. Tottenham sits in 4^th place on the league table after 14 games, and Leeds is in 12^th with a game in hand.

Both these teams have been under the microscope the last few games because of their results. Leeds plays one of the most captivating soccer in the Premier League but has struggled to grind results. On the other hand, Tottenham has been showing signs of complacency in their approach, especially in the first half.

Both managers are well respected within the coaching fraternity, but it is hard to predict which team will go home with all three points.

Tottenham Hotspur

When Antonio Conte joined Tottenham as the manager after the sacking of Nuno Espirito Santos, there was a lot of optimism among the Tottenham supporters. Tottenham was in a fight against time to make the top 4 spots in the Premier League last season.

It looked impossible initially, but Conte and his team pushed till the final games to make the 4^th spot. Arsenal was the clear favorite when Conte first joined, but a couple of losses for Arsenal saw them drop down to 5^th. After that, the Spurs started gaining momentum and made the final Champions League spot.

2022-2023 Season

Tottenham started their new campaign with a convincing 4-1 win over Southampton. Southampton took the lead first in the 12^th minute with a goal by James Ward Prowse, but Spurs responded with goals from Ryan Sessegnon, Eric Dier, and Dejan Kulusevski. Southampton’s Muhammad Salisu also scored an own goal, which added to Tottenham’s tally of 4 goals.

The second game was against Chelsea, which looked like Tottenham would be the losing team. Koulibaly scored from a corner in the 19^th minute to give Chelsea the lead. Tottenham responded with a goal from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in the 68^th, only to be canceled by Reece James’ goal in the 77^th minute for Chelsea.

The match went to extra time, with the officials adding 6 minutes to the clock. The game seemed to be going in Chelsea’s favor until the 96^th minute when Harry Kane scored a dramatic late equalizer that sent shockwaves throughout Stamford Bridge.

Tottenham went on a 5-game unbeaten run after the game against Chelsea, only to lose 3-1 to Arsenal in the North London Derby. This game was touted to be a test for both sides, as soccer fans predicted they were in the running for the title. This game showed that Tottenham was still behind teams like Arsenal and Manchester City.

Spurs have since then lost to Manchester United and Newcastle. Their last win was over Bournemouth, where they came back from a losing position to win 3-2. Tottenham also lost 2-1 to Liverpool in their latest Premier League game, courtesy of a masterclass from Mohammad Salah.

The Egyptian was in fine goal-scoring form in North London, inspiring the Merseyside team to a win against Spurs. The London outfit had a much better second half, but that was not enough to get something out of the game.

Best Players – Tottenham

Tottenham has recruited very well this summer, with Kulusevski, Perisic, Clement Lenglet, etc. However, their best players have been Harry Kane and Hojbjerg this season.

Harry Kane has been performing at the highest levels for Tottenham for the last 5-6 seasons. He is the talisman of the North London outfit, winning the Golden Boot award a couple of times.

However, the most improved player this season has been Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. The Danish player has been vital to how Antonio Conte sets up his team. He has scored a couple of important goals this season to help Tottenham win crunch games.

Leeds United

Leeds United is one of the most exciting teams to watch in the Premier League. They play with such a fast intensity that opposing teams find it hard to cope with the speed.

Jesse Marsch took over from Marcelo Bielsa only with a few games to go last season. Leeds was in a relegation battle and only managed to maintain their Premier League status in the last game of the season.

2022-2023 Season

Leeds United took a different route by appointing Jesse Marsch as the head coach after a long spell under Marcelo Bielsa. The shift from a proven world-class manager to an unknown American was seen as a skeptical move by soccer fans.

However, Jesse Marsch has managed to keep the fans on his side with his intense brand of soccer. He is an animated character on the touchline and does not back down from challenges.

They have had poor results in the Premier League this season, even if their performances have been spectacular. Jesse Marsch has built his team around a young group of players, and the injuries to some star players have added to their goal-scoring woes.

However, their best games came against two Premier League giants, Chelsea and Liverpool. Leeds welcomed Chelsea to Elland Road and thumped them with 3 goals. Chelsea was already down by 2 goals by the end of the first half and added another in the second half.

Leeds also defeated Liverpool by 2 goals to 1 at Anfield, which was one of their most significant results in decades. Their win also ended Virgin Van Dijk’s unbeaten record at Anfield.

Best Players – Leeds United

Jesse Marsch hit gold when he signed Brenden Aronson from RB Salzburg for around £24 million. The young American has been a revelation to the Leeds team, especially after losing key players like Raphinha and Kalvin Phillips. His dribbling skills and eye for a pass have unlocked many Premier League defenses this season.

Rodrigo has also hit form this season by scoring 7 goals in the Premier League. He has been leading excellently from the front in the absence of Patrick Bamford, Leeds United’s number 9.
