Overview
- Leeds won 1-0 at Elland Road on Saturday when substitute Noah Okafor scored 97 seconds after coming on to break the game and end Tottenham’s three-match run of wins and clean sheets.
- A first-half challenge by Leeds full-back Jayden Bogle on Tottenham forward Mathys Tel was checked by VAR for a possible red card, was not upgraded, and Tel left the pitch before half-time with an ankle problem.
- Roberto De Zerbi named Rodrigo Bentancur and Tosin Adarabioyo available for the trip but Tottenham still faced multiple absences, with Savio, Lucas Bergvall and Mykhailo Mudryk confirmed out before kick-off.
- Manchester United carry midweek momentum from a 3-2 Champions League comeback win over Roma, but manager Michael Carrick has ruled Carlos Baleba out for a number of weeks following an injury.
- With Baleba sidelined, reports say Youri Tielemans is likely to slot into United’s double pivot for Sunday’s match with Aston Villa, a fixture tipsters have highlighted as a possible upset given Villa’s recent away form.
