Leeds United are heading to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this Monday night with momentum on their side, aiming to build on an impressive 3-1 victory over Burnley. The Whites have been finding their rhythm in the Premier League, and manager Daniel Farke is ready to tweak his lineup to keep that winning feeling alive.
Farke is expected to set his team up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, with one notable change: Brenden Aaronson looks set to earn a starting spot. The American midfielder has been pushing for more minutes, and this could be his chance to make an impact against a tough Spurs side.
In goal, Karl Darlow will be between the sticks after conceding just once in his last outing. The back three is likely to feature Pascal Struijk, Jaka Bijol, and Joe Rodon, though Struijk is a slight doubt heading into the match. They'll need to be sharp to keep Tottenham's attack at bay. Sebastiaan Bornauw will be on the bench, ready to step in if needed.
In midfield, Ao Tanaka and Ethan Ampadu will anchor the center of the park, tasked with controlling the tempo and breaking up play. Out wide, James Justin will look to make his mark on the left flank, while Jayden Bogle aims to impress on the right—both will be key for overlapping runs and delivering crosses into the box.
Further forward, Aaronson will partner Anton Stach in the attacking midfield roles, carrying the creative load for Leeds. They'll need to unlock a Spurs defense that's always tough to crack. Dominic Calvert-Lewin will lead the line as the lone striker, with hopes he can find the net and be a constant threat.
On the bench, Farke has options like Sean Longstaff, Daniel James, Lukas Nmecha, and Wilfried Gnonto, all ready to step in and change the game in the second half. It's a lineup built for both stability and spark—exactly what Leeds need to keep their run going.
