    Conte 'I'm here to help the club until the end'

    Follow all the action as Leeds host Tottenham in a crunch Premier League clash this lunchtime.

    Spurs’ Champions League hopes have suffered a severe blow in recent weeks, with four defeats in their last five league matches dropping them to eighth in the table but their Jekyll and Hyde-esque nature was perfectly demonstrated by the fact that the one victory during that run was a scintillating 3-2 triumph over Man City - blowing the title race wide open. A midweek defeat to Burnley left a frustrated Antonio Conte questioning his Tottenham future, although he has since rowed back on his post-match comments and attributed them to passion in the heat of the moment after a disappointing loss.

    For Leeds’ part, they have unwittingly slipped into a relegation battle following some dismal recent form as injuries to key men such as Kalvin Phillips and Patrick Bamford have left their already-small squad stretched. The Whites are shipping goals at an alarming rate - conceding ten in their last two matches and 16 in their last four - and may be staring down the barrel of a return to the Championship unless they can quickly end a run of five games without a win.

    18 mins: Off the post! It was almost the perfect response from Leeds. Diego Llorente floats a long ball up the pitch but it’s headed away by Eric Dier on the edge of his own box. Robin Koch collects the second ball and slips Raphinha into the area on the right. He checks inside and rolls it back to the arriving Koch who pokes a shot at goal and hits the right hand post!

    GOAL! Leeds 0 - 2 Tottenham (Kulusevski, 15’)⚽️

    15 mins: Oh my. I was just going to talk about a battle developing between Junior Firpo and Dejan Kulusevski but there’s already a clear winner. The Tottenham man is forced onto the corner flag by the Leeds left-back but he manages to turn the defender and take the ball into the box. Diego Llorente sticks out a leg but fails to take the ball away from Kulusevski who rolls it onto his left foot and whips and fine shot into a small gap between the goalkeeper and the near post. Great skill from Kulusevski. Spurs double their lead.

    Leeds 0 - 1 Tottenham

    13 mins: An early goal for Tottenham has given them the perfect start against Leeds. The home side are quite open allowing space on both wings for the Spurs wingbacks to fly forward. Sessegnon brings the ball to the side of the box again on the left and his pass into the area almost sets up Kulusevski but he’s tackled by Junior Firpo who knocks the ball out for a corner.

    GOAL! Leeds 0 - 1 Tottenham (Doherty, 10’)⚽️

    10 mins: Great goal from Spurs. They have the ball in their own half and set up a counter attack through a driving Harry Winks run. Ryan Sessegnon bombs down the left wing and stays onside as Winks slides a pass in behind the high Leeds line. Sessegnon collects the loose ball and carries it into the box. Matt Doherty matches his run on the opposite wing and darts into the area just as Sessegnon squares the ball, leaving himself with a free chance on goal and he takes it with a lovely first time finish.

    9 mins: Matt Doherty makes a forward run off the ball down the right and is found by Harry Kane. Doherty carries it into the final third and slips Kulusevski into the right side of the box. He draws in Pascal Struijk before cutting the ball back to Kane on the front edge of the box. Kane spots Illan Meslier off his line and tries to chip the goalkeeper but puts his effort wide of the target.

    6 mins: The first corner of the game comes to Tottenham and Son’s delivery is defended effectively by Leeds who smuggle the ball away. Tottenham recover it quickly and send a pass out to Ryan Sessegnon on the left side. He shifts the ball around Dallas and curls a cross into the six-yard box but it’s too close to Illan Meslier who claims it for Leeds.

    3 mins: Chance! Leeds work the ball down the left wing and pass it up to Daniel James. He carries it alongside the box and is clipped by Dejan Kulusevski in an attempted tackle and the home side win a free kick.

    Stuart Dallas takes the set piece and whips a pacey cross into the box. Pascal Struijk wins the ball in the air and glances his header narrowly wide of the back post!

    Kick off: Dejan Kulusevski gets the game underway with a pass back to Eric Dier. He sends the ball up the pitch where it is won in the air by Harry Kane who flicks it on towards the box. Son Heung-min drives forward and puts Diego Llorente under pressure but the Leeds defender shrugs off a challenge and wins a throw in for Leeds.
