Leeds United host Tottenham Hotspur at Elland Road on Saturday lunchtime in the 12.30pm kick-off for matchday seven of the Premier League season.
This Leeds United team under Daniel Farke remains unbeaten for over a year in league fixtures at Elland Road. In fact, the Whites have lost just three of the last 49 league games at Elland Road since he was instated as manager.
Better still, Daniel Farke has a great record against Tottenham. However, this will be his first in charge of Leeds against Spurs. It means there are reasons to be positive, especially as Spurs’ attacking issues offer Leeds hope, too.
Even with all of that factored in, Opta believe Spurs are likely to win or draw against Leeds. Farke also has three wins and two draws against Thomas Frank. That said, Farke was full of Frank admiration ahead of Spurs‘ trip to West Yorkshire.

Spurs can break two Elland Road records against Leeds United
Farke’s words were reciprocated by Frank ahead of tomorrow’s game, which sees fourth play 12th in the Premier League — although it offers Leeds the chance to go level with their visitors.

Chris Sutton has provided his verdict on Leeds vs Spurs but he is not the only one who views this as a tough test for Frank and co. Ally McCoist is bullish about Leeds’ chances against Spurs.
Meanwhile, Alan Shearer believes Leeds will draw with Spurs. It is a game being played live and in front of the TNT Sports cameras. One development has since emerged, though, and it is one which will concern Leeds fans if it transpires.
That is because Tottenham have won both of their last two league visits to Elland Road and they could set an unwanted record for their hosts. That is by beating Leeds away from home three times running in the league for the very first time in their history.
That spans 103 competitive outings, which puts into perspective why they will be desperate to avoid it. Elland Road has been a fortress, but seemingly not against Spurs. There is another record Spurs could set, which would be far worse for Leeds.
Leeds have shipped four goals in their last two home Premier League games against Spurs, losing 4-0 in Marcelo Bielsa’s last game in charge and 4-1 in their final game of 2022/23 before being relegated.
For all the talk regarding the strength of Leeds at home, a thumping loss of that magnitude again would also set an unwanted record. That’s because no side has ever scored four goals in three away league matches at Elland Road in a row.
It’s an added motivation for Leeds to avoid either outcome, but a welcome bonus for Spurs if they can improve in an attacking sense from their recent games at Elland Road.
The size of the Elland Road task becomes clearer for Spurs amid George Graham reveal
As mentioned, Leeds have now gone over a full year (383 days) without losing a home league game, with their 23-game run at Elland Road beginning on 28 September 2024 against Coventry City.
That came after a 1-0 defeat to Burnley, which was one of only four losses last season, and the only league defeat at Elland Road.
However, now in the Premier League, they have drawn their last two. That is significant as they have not drawn three in a row at home since September 2023.
The last time they were in the Premier League, they last did that during a run of five in a row between March and August 1997 under former Spurs and Arsenal manager George Graham.
