This is the first meeting between Tottenham and Leeds in any competition since January 2013, when the Yorkshire side won an FA Cup tie 2-1 at Elland Road.
Leeds have won their first league game in just one of the last seven calendar years (D4 L2), beating Rotherham 3-0 in 2017.
Leeds have won one of their last 22 away league games in London (D6 L15), a 3-1 win via a Kemar Roofe hat-trick in December 2017 vs QPR. The last time the Whites started a calendar year with an away league win in London was in 1992, winning 3-1 against West Ham and going on to win the top-flight that season.
In his first 15 Premier League games, Leeds United’s Jack Harrison has created 31 chances in open play, the most by a Premier League player in his first 15 matches since Dimitri Payet in January 2016 for West Ham (37), and the most of any Englishman since 2003-04 (when Opta began collecting this data).
