Sports News Blitz previews Leeds United vs Tottenham, offering betting tips and stats.
The tale so far
Leeds United were just seconds away from a statement win last time out, only to be denied by a stoppage-time equaliser from Eli Junior Kroupi.
Still, Daniel Farke's side impressed once again, showing they've adapted quickly to life back in the top flight.
With a high-energy style and growing confidence, Leeds look well-prepared for a tough test on home soil.
Tottenham, meanwhile, are also riding an unbeaten run - now six games - though their most recent performance at Molineux left much to be desired.
A late Joao Palhinha goal salvaged a point, sparing Thomas Frank’s side from defeat.
Despite that underwhelming display, Spurs remain resilient, and their recent record against Leeds suggests they’ll arrive with quiet confidence.

Best bets
With both teams showing promise but also vulnerability, here are three standout betting angles to consider:
Dominic Calvert-Lewin 1+ shots on target
The former Everton striker has hit the ground running at Leeds, recording at least one shot on target in all three of his starts so far.
Now firmly Daniel Farke’s preferred option up front, Calvert-Lewin looks sharp and confident - highlighted by his composed finish against Wolves.
Tottenham double chance (win or draw)
Spurs are unbeaten in six and have a strong historical record against Leeds, winning the last four meetings between the sides.
Thomas Frank has quickly steadied the ship after replacing Ange Postecoglou, and his team has shown real grit in recent performances.
Over 8 corners
Leeds games at Elland Road have consistently seen high corner counts, with all three of their home fixtures this season surpassing this line.
Both teams like to play on the front foot, and the potential for end-to-end phases makes this an appealing angle for value seekers.

Verdict
Leeds have shown plenty of encouraging signs since their Premier League return, with attacking flair and tactical discipline starting to shine through.
Calvert-Lewin’s arrival has added a focal point, and Farke’s side are proving difficult to break down at home.
Tottenham, however, boast the experience and a proven track record in this fixture.
Despite their recent inconsistency in performances, their ability to grind out results under pressure can’t be overlooked.
Expect a competitive encounter with chances at both ends - and don’t be surprised if set-pieces and counter-attacks play a key role.
A score draw or narrow away win could be on the cards.
