Fresh off the back of our comfortable win against Burnley at Elland Road, Leeds United are back in action on Monday night when we travel to take on Tottenham Hotspur.
Whilst the pressure of the relegation battle has eased significantly for Leeds following their impressive run of form, Spurs are still fighting for their lives with just three games to go.
Roberto De Zerbi’s side moved out of the bottom three following their most recent win over Aston Villa, but Daniel Farke’s side are in fine form in their own right, losing just one of their last nine outings in all competitions.
“They’ll have enough..” – Alan Shearer predicts Tottenham to beat Leeds United
Paul Merson recently predicted United to pick up three points during our trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and now Alan Shearer is the latest pundit to have his say on the game.
Leeds’ exceptional run of form was not enough to convince Shearer that Leeds would leave the capital with a positive result on Monday night.
Writing in his latest prediction column for Metro, Shearer said, “Leeds are going to play a huge part in who gets relegated, because they play both Spurs and West Ham. It’s fascinating, but I think with what I saw from Spurs last week, they may just have enough now to stay up.
“And I guess with the energy that they showed the other day, I think they’ll have enough to beat Leeds at home. Spurs to win.”
If Arsenal beat West Ham over the weekend, as most expect, then Leeds would be mathematically safe going into the game against Spurs.
However, with Spurs getting the better of United at Elland Road when the two sides met back in October, Farke’s men will undoubtedly be keen to get revenge on Tottenham.
Although Spurs have won their last two games, they have not won three Premier League games in a row since February 2025, and the fact that Shearer has predicted them to end this abysmal run against an in-form Leeds team will surely prove to be controversial with the Elland Road faithful.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin will be keen to end his barren away run against Tottenham
Whilst Dominic Calvert-Lewin has gotten back to goalscoring ways as of late, with two goals in his last four appearances, the forward is in the midst of a barren run away from home in the Premier League.
The striker’s last league goal not at Elland Road came all the way back in January, during the seven-goal thriller that Leeds agonisingly lost against Newcastle.
This means Calvert-Lewin has gone five Premier League away games without scoring, something our talisman will surely be keen to change as he aims to finish the season on a high and land a spot in England’s World Cup squad.
Too often away from home, Calvert-Lewin has been an isolated figure up top, and with the two remaining away games we have, Farke should show the opposition less respect and go after teams more now that our top-flight status is virtually secure.
