Tottenham Hotspur: Form and Line-up
Tottenham Hotspur have only sprung into life under the expressive Roberto De Zerbi. The Italian coach has passed on to the players a hunger for battle and emotion. Of course, the team might have woken up anyway towards the end of the season, but that is far from certain. If they had not conceded a goal to Brighton & Hove Albion in added time, the home side would have had three wins out of three in the most recent rounds.
Key numbers:
The team have scored in each of the last three rounds.
Spurs have been clinical during their unbeaten run: they have scored five goals from exactly 3 xG.
All five goals have been scored by different players across all three outfield units.
Probable Tottenham Hotspur line-up (4-2-3-1)
Antonin Kinsky – Destiny Udogie, Micky van de Ven, Kevin Danso, Pedro Porro – Joao Palhinha, Rodrigo Bentancur – Mathys Tel, Conor Gallagher, Randal Kolo Muani – Richarlison.
Absentees: Dominic Solanke, Xavi Simons, Guglielmo Vicario, Cristian Romero, Mohammed Kudus, Wilson Odobert, Dejan Kulusevski, Ben Davies (injuries).
Leeds United: Form and Line-up
In late April Leeds United faced a punishing schedule for a club with such resources: three matches in 10 days. They managed to win only against already relegated Burnley (3:1), whose defence is as transparent as water. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that only in one of the last five matches in all competitions have the visitors conceded more than one goal.
Key numbers:
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has scored in two of the last three rounds.
The team have the ball for less than half of the time (45.8%).
Leeds United are unbeaten in six away league matches (one win and five draws).
Probable Leeds United line-up (3-4-2-1):
Karl Darlow – Joe Rodon, Jaka Bijol, Pascal Struijk – Jayden Bogle, Ethan Ampadu, Anton Stach, James Justin – Ao Tanaka, Noah Okafor – Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Absentees: Ilia Gruev, Gabriel Gudmundsson (injuries).
