Leeds United Ready to Host Tottenham with Strong Home Record and Set-Piece Threats
Leeds United will welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Elland Road this weekend, looking to build on their impressive start in the Premier League. The team has shown strong form at home and has some key stats that could give them an edge in the upcoming match.
Unbeaten at Home
Leeds has not lost a league game at Elland Road in their last 23 matches. This streak started in September 2024 and includes 15 wins and 8 draws. The team’s home form has been a big factor in their season, with fans and players alike creating a tough atmosphere for visiting teams. This unbeaten run makes Leeds confident they can challenge Tottenham on their own ground.
Strong in Set-Pieces
Leeds has scored four goals from set-pieces this season, making them one of the best teams in the Premier League at scoring from corners and free-kicks. Only a few teams, including Arsenal, Liverpool, and Crystal Palace, have scored more from dead-ball situations. The team’s aerial players like Joe Rodon and Dominic Calvert-Lewin are dangerous targets during set pieces, and the quality of delivery from players like Anton Stach and Brenden Aaronson adds to their threat.
Battling and Defensive Strength
Leeds has also shown good resilience and fighting spirit this season. Their ability to compete physically and defend well at home has been key to their success. Against Tottenham, Leeds will need to maintain their defensive discipline and try to disrupt Spurs’ attacking moves.
What to Expect
This game should be competitive. Leeds’s strong home record and set-piece ability give them confidence, but Tottenham is a top team and will be looking to continue their good form. Leeds fans will be hoping their team can keep their unbeaten run going and get a positive result against the visitors.
