Leeds United will face off against Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this Saturday afternoon as they look to earn a win on the road. The Whites suffered a 1-0 loss at the hands of Wolverhampton Wanderers in midweek which has halted their momentum ahead of this game.
Jesse Marsch will set his players up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to name a strong starting XI for this game. Rodrigo could once again lead the line for the West Yorkshire club on the attacking end of the field.
4-2-3-1 Leeds United Predicted Lineup To Face Tottenham Hotspur
Defence
Illan Meslier will function in between the sticks for the Whites as he looks to make a few solid saves at the back during the 90 minutes. Robin Koch will once again play alongside Liam Cooper at the heart of Leeds’ backline as they look to stop the opposition from causing too many problems this weekend.
Rasmus Kristensen will operate at right-back while Pascal Struijk tries to catch the eye on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to get forward and join in on the attack at every chance they get.
Diego Llorente should be named on the bench as he offers cover for the centre-back spots.
Midfield
Marc Roca and Tyler Adams will anchor the midfield for the Whites as they try to win the 50-50 battles at the centre of the park and engineer some clear-cut chances in the final third.
The gifted trio of Crysencio Summerville, Brenden Aaronson and Wilfried Gnonto will play just ahead of them as part of Marsch’s attack. Summerville scored the winning goal away at Liverpool recently, so he would be eager to impress again when he laces up to face off against the Tottenham defenders this weekend.
Mateusz Klich and Jack Harrison will have to settle for a spot on the bench as they wait for their chance to shine in the second 45 minutes if needed.
Attack
Rodrigo will lead the charge for the Whites in the final third. He has to find a way to cause a few headaches for the Tottenham centre-backs this weekend.
Joe Gelhardt and Patrick Bamford will be sidelined for this game due to injuries. However, Sam Greenwood would be named on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the final quarter of the match if Leeds are in need of a goal by then.
