Leeds will look to pull off a great escape and stay in the Premier League when they face Tottenham this weekend.

The Whites know their top-flight survival is out of their hands after a 3-1 defeat to West Ham left them languishing in the bottom three.

Sam Allardyce's men are 19th in the table, behind Leicester on goal difference, and two points behind Everton.

Leeds will need to end their eight-game search for a win when they face Tottenham and hope results elsewhere go their way.

Providing they secure a victory, the Elland Road outfit also need Bournemouth to take points off Everton and for Leicester to fail to beat West Ham.

But Spurs will be in no mood to do them a favour either as they are currently in eighth and need a win to give themselves the best chance of leapfrogging Aston Villa for the final European spot.

Leeds vs Tottenham: What has been said?

Ebanie Bridges is so desperate for Leeds to stay in the Premier League that she's providing some personal motivation.

Speaking to talkSPORT, the IBF bantamweight world champion joked: "Hey guys, if you stay up I'll flash my boobs.

"I'll get in that locker room, pull my shirt up and flash my boobs or something like that.

"I'll kiss you, anything. Whatever, I'll give you a free subscription to my OnlyFans.

"Please Leeds stay up, don't f***ing disappoint me."

Leeds vs Tottenham: Match facts

  • Rodrigo is Leeds' top scorer in the Premier League this season with 13 goals in 30 games, as many as he'd scored in his previous two campaigns combined (13 in 57 games). He scored twice in the Whites' 4-3 defeat at Spurs in the reverse fixture, with Brian Deane in 1994-95 the last Leeds player to score home and away league goals against them in a single campaign.
  • Harry Kane has scored in 25 different Premier League games for Tottenham this season, the outright most of any player in a 38-game campaign. A goal in this match will see him equal Andrew Cole's overall record of 26 games scored in, achieved in 1993-94.
  • Spurs striker Harry Kane has scored on the final day of the season in each of the last five Premier League campaigns. Overall, he's scored nine goals on the closing day, with no player netting more in the competition's history.
  • Leeds have dropped 25 points from winning positions in the Premier League this season, their most ever in a single campaign. They've lost five of their last 13 games when opening the scoring (W4 D4), as many as in their previous 36 in the top-flight (W25 D6 L5).
  • Defeat for Tottenham would ensure no European football for them next season, for the first time since 2009-10. Indeed, it would mean they finish no higher than 8th, which would be their lowest finishing position since 2008-09 (also 8th).
  • Leeds will be relegated to the Championship if they fail to beat Tottenham, their seventh top-flight relegation overall and second from the Premier League after 2003-04.
  • Tottenham have lost their final league game in just one of the last 12 seasons (W9 D2), going down 5-1 at already relegated Newcastle in 2015-16.
  • Leeds have lost their final league match in just one of the last 10 seasons, winning each of the last three in a row. As a top-flight side, Leeds have lost their final league match in just one of their last 15 campaigns (W7 D7), going down 1-0 at Chelsea in their 2003-04 relegation campaign.
  • Tottenham have won two of their last three Premier League away games against Leeds, as many as they had in their previous 15 top-flight visits to Elland Road (D6 L7). They've not won consecutive away league games against the Whites since October 1979.
  • Leeds have won just one of their last 10 Premier League games against Spurs (D1 L8), a 3-1 home win in May 2021.
