José’s boys host Leeds United in match day 17 of the Premier League on Saturday 2nd January, 12:30pm at The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The hosts currently sit in 7th place in the table having drawn against Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-1 last time out, while the visitors are in 11th after their 0-5 win against West Bromwich Albion.
Tottenham lost their first league game of 2020 (0-1 vs Southampton), last losing their first league game in consecutive calendar years in 2008/2009. When starting the new year at home, Tottenham are unbeaten since 1997 (1-2 vs Man Utd), winning nine and drawing one since.
Leeds will be the 30th different opponent Tottenham striker Harry Kane has faced in the Premier League – he’s scored against each of the 29 sides he’s faced so far, the only player to score against 100% of the opponents he’s played against in the competition (min. 2 faced).
Spurs boss José Mourinho has only lost one of his 27 Premier League home games against newly-promoted sides (W21 D5) – 0-1 v Bournemouth in December 2015 while in charge of Chelsea.
This will be Spurs boss José Mourinho’s first ever meeting with Leeds in all competitions. He’s won all four meetings with Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa by an aggregate score of 15-2, doing so in LaLiga with Real Madrid against Athletic Bilbao in the 2011-12 and 2012-13 campaigns.
Our biggest problem recently has been our seemingly infinite capacity to waste leads … however tonight that would be a blessing (homophonically speaking) … so let’s waste Leeds!

Hmmmm………..
Davies and Doherty better be on game.
I’m joking.
Coys
I would wager on the latter.
Time for Winks to step up, or another clueless performance from him.
