Tottenham vs Leeds follows Spurs&#8217;\u00a02\u20131 victory over Aston Villa. Although Villa rotated heavily, the result followed a 1\u20130 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers and an encouraging draw with Brighton &amp; Hove Albion. With Roberto De Zerbi losing just one of his first four matches, Spurs look in a far stronger position to survive under his management. The importance of another positive result will not be lost on the Italian.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leeds\u2019 recent form has quashed the similar concerns their supporters held earlier in the campaign. A 3\u20131 victory over Burnley made it three wins in four league matches for Daniel Farke\u2019s side. Unbeaten in six, Farke will be keen to extend that run, which could all but secure their Premier League status.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is the latest team news for Tottenham vs Leeds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Read More:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2026\/04\/28\/xavi-simons-injury-acl-tottenham\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xavi Simons&#8217; Injury Puts Pressure on Tottenham Medical Team<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Tottenham vs Leeds Team News for Bottom of the Table Clash<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b>Date:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Monday, 11 May 2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Venue:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Tottenham Hotspur Stadium<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Kick-off:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 20:00 GMT<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Last meeting:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Leeds 1\u20132 Tottenham (4 October 2025, Premier League)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Referee: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jarred Gillett<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Current odds:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Tottenham 17\/20, Leeds 11\/4<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tottenham Team News<\/b><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\"><smartframe-embed class=\"smartframe_wp_element\" customer-id=\"84d65181a95c24c4fea73e44b4e27a17\" image-id=\"ltKDXMl8mgvJ\" style=\"width: 100%; display: inline-flex; max-width: 4719px; aspect-ratio: 4719\/3178;\" ><\/smartframe-embed><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spurs have no players suspended.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tottenham have no fresh injury concerns, however, Guglielmo Vicario remains sidelined after hernia surgery.
