LU vs TOT Dream11: Marcelo Bielsa will have been disappointed with his Leeds Utd side last weekend after they put in a thoroughly poor performance all round as the Whites fell to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Brighton. Having now failed to score in successive Premier League fixtures, Leeds will be looking to put things right at home to Tottenham. The visitors are coming off the back of a comfortable 4-0 win over Sheffield Utd and head into this one full of confidence with their League Cup final loss hopefully out of their system. Leeds won’t be afraid of taking the game to Spurs, knowing that they have kept just one clean sheet in their last six games in all competitions.
Date: 8 May, Saturday Time: 5:00 PM (IST) Venue: Elland Road, Leeds
Premier League Table: Leeds are 9th in the EPL standings, while Tottenham are sitting in the 6th place.
