Preview:
Leeds face Spurs in a must-win clash for both teams.
Bielsa’s side has been one of the best performing units this season giving every team a run for their money.
But drop in form over recent weeks sees them outside the top 10.
They are winless in their last 3 matches and seek a turnaround to finish the season on a positive note and inside the top half of the table.
Spurs on the other hand won successive matches against Southampton and Sheffield and a win tonight can take them to 5th in the league table, as they compete for a top 4 finish.
EPL result: Gareth Bale scores hat-trick as Spurs win 4-0 against Sheffield, rise to 5th
Kane and Bale are back with the goals and this gives Spurs the confidence as they look to finish the season with European football.
Leeds United’s performance against the top 6 sides have been good this season and hence we expect a tasty affair.
