Tottenham face a very different test at Leeds from some of the opponents they have encountered in recent weeks.

Spurs willing be hoping to make it four Premier League victories in a row on Saturday but must be at their best at Elland Road.

Roberto De Zerbi’s side have often been given time and space to build from the back, but Daniel Farke’s team are likely to bring an aggressive press from the first whistle.

Spurs will need to handle that pressure, make better use of their wide players and show greater composure in front of goal if they are to leave Elland Road with three points.

1. Find a way through Leeds’ press

Leeds are unlikely to sit back and allow Tottenham to dictate the tempo.

They will look to press high, close down passing lanes and force mistakes in dangerous areas.

Spurs must be brave and intelligent in possession, moving the ball quickly and making sure there are options available for the player receiving it.

That means the defenders and midfielders need to show calmness when pressed, but also recognise when to play forward and bypass the first wave.

If Tottenham can beat Leeds’ initial pressure, there should be space to attack further up the pitch. Getting caught dwelling on the ball, or repeatedly playing into trouble, would invite unnecessary pressure.

2. Make the most of the wide areas

Tottenham have the players to hurt Leeds out wide, and they should look to get the ball to Mathys Tel and Mohammed Kudus as often as possible. Both can carry the ball at pace, take defenders on and turn a promising position into a genuine attacking opportunity.

Tel’s direct running can stretch the Leeds defence, while Kudus has the strength and close control to beat his marker and drive into dangerous areas.

Spurs should be looking to isolate them one-on-one rather than allowing Leeds to keep the game narrow and congested through the middle. Good service to the wide forwards can also create space for Maddison to operate centrally and for Solanke to attack the penalty area.

3. Be more ruthless in front of goal

Creating chances is only part of the job. Tottenham must make the opportunities count, particularly in a game where Leeds’ intensity could make clear openings hard to come by.

Spurs cannot afford to waste good situations and then allow the home side to grow into the contest.

Dominic Solanke should be given another opportunity to lead the line, but he needs to make the most of the chances that come his way.

His movement and work for the team are important, yet the decisive contribution for a striker is putting the ball in the net. If Tottenham are to win at Elland Road, they need their centre-forward to be clinical when the moment arrives.

Beating the press, using Tel and Kudus effectively and taking their chances would give Tottenham a strong platform.

Leeds will make this an intense afternoon, but if Spurs execute those three things well, they have the quality to come away with the result.
