Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Following a heavy 6-0 loss to Liverpool, Leeds United will look to return to winning ways when they take on Tottenham in the Premier League round 27. The Whites have been totally out of form of late, and, as a result, their elite division status is in great danger. All Phillips, Hjelde, Cooper, Bamford, and Greenwood are sidelined with injuries, speaking of the home team. Spurs, on the other hand, suffered an unexpected 1-0 loss to Burnley on Wednesday evening.
Antonio Conte’s men have been totally unpredictable of late, but we believe that they will take advantage of Leeds United’s shaky defence. Skipp and Tanganga continue to miss out with injuries, but Conte can count on key players for Saturday’s game. January signing Dejan Kulusevski should keep his place in the starting XI despite failing to find the net in the midweek defeat.
Highlighted Player (Kalvin Phillips):
Kalvin Phillips started his youth career at Wortley Juniors, but he has been playing for Leeds United ever since he joined the Elland Road outfit at the age of 15. The 177-cm-tall midfielder has established himself as a first-team regular at Leeds, but he has yet to make his debut for the England national team.
Born in Leeds on December 2, 1995 Kalvin Phillips is a right-footed footballer whose main position is defensive midfield. However, he is used as a central midfielder as well. The English footballer scored his first ever goal for the Whites in a 2-1 loss to Cardiff City on April 11, 2015.
Kalvin Phillips made his debut for Leeds United against Wolverhampton on April 6, 2015. Nicknamed “Yorkshire Pirlo”, Phillips is known for his sharp passes and long ball distribution. He covers his defensive duties in style as well.
Highlighted Team (Tottenham):
Tottenham Hotspur are a professional football club based in North London. Spurs host their rivals at White Hart Lane and the capacity of the stadium is 36,284. Tottenham won the Premier League (First Division) trophy in 1950/1951 and 1960/1961 and despite producing terrific displays in the 2015/2016 campaign Mauro Pochettino’s team eventually finished the season in third place in the standings.
Tottenham’s bitter rivals are Arsenal, but Chelsea and West Ham United are regarded as the team’s fierce opponents as well. Spurs have won eight FA Cup trophies, with the team also lifting the 1962/1963 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title.
Tottenham Hotspur hammered Atletico Madrid in the final of the competition back then (5-1). The likes of David Ginola, Sol Campbell, Teddy Sheringham, Jurgen Klinsmann, Gary Lineker, Luka Modric, Robbie Keane and Gareth Bale are star players that used to play for the White Hart Lane outfit in the past. The colour of Tottenham Hotspur’s home kit is white.
