Sutton wrote: “I’ve really not got a clue what will happen here. Spurs boss Antonio Conte says his players are tired, yet they have this record of fighting back in games this season – so that does not really add up.

“I was genuinely delighted for Leeds boss Jesse Marsch that he followed up his win at Liverpool by beating Bournemouth, because he has had a bit of flak this season.

“I am really not sure about Tottenham’s defence but they have to respond here after a bad week and, with Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski in contention to start, they will be dangerous.

“This is the type of game where either side could win it, even if they fall behind – but I am going to go with Spurs.

“Sutton’s prediction: 3-1.”

Who will win?

In our opinion, Tottenham Hotspur will win against Leeds United at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League this weekend.

Spurs are not having the best of times at the moment, but they do have a better team than Leeds.

And Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte will be determined for his team to head into the break for the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar on a high.

Tottenham lost to Liverpool at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League last weekend and went down down to Nottingham Forest away from home at the City Ground in the third round of the EFL Cup on Wednesday evening.

Leeds will not be easy pushovers for Tottenham, though.

Yes, the Whites lost to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the EFL Cup in midweek, but they beat Bournemouth and Liverpool in their last two Premier League games.
