Honest play to Leeds, they’ve actually stunned and impressed me thus far. There’s a good steadiness to their crew as a result of they carry a risk and may dig in too.
Other than a heavy defeat at Arsenal, they’ve been aggressive in each sport thus far and their good begin would have been even higher however for late targets towards Fulham and Bournemouth.
Even so, they’ve extra factors than I anticipated at this stage and Daniel Farke deserves plenty of credit score.
I feel there have been query marks over whether or not he might handle at this stage due to his Premier League report with Norwich however, as I’ve mentioned earlier than, he by no means actually had the squad there to have the ability to compete.
Tottenham have had a tough week, having to combat again to rescue attracts towards Wolves and Bodo/Glimt, and that is going to be one other difficult sport for them.
I can truly see it ending in one other draw for Spurs. At the least they performed within the Arctic Circle on Tuesday evening relatively than Wednesday however a lunchtime kick-off on Saturday continues to be removed from ideally suited, and this Champions League marketing campaign goes to stretch their squad.
Sutton’s prediction: 1-1
Rod’s prediction: I requested in my Leeds WhatsApp group about how a lot can I say we’ll win by earlier than I sound like a lunatic, they usually have been all like ‘6-0’ however that isn’t going to occur! I need to say 4-1 however it is going to be quite a bit nearer than that too.
I do assume we’ll win, although, as a result of Spurs do not look that coherent as a crew but. Additionally, Elland Highway is a fortress and the house crowd will nearly get us over the road. 2-1
Rod’s favorite Leeds gamers: Gary Pace was an actual hero of mine. I’m from a Welsh household so he was completely my favorite participant after I was rising up. Gary McAllister and Gordon Strachan have been improbable too, and a sure Frenchman who was additionally a part of our title-winning crew that I can not actually discuss now.
Pace was the one, although, proper up till Alan Smith got here by way of – however then he ended up going to the incorrect place as effectively!
AI’s prediction: 1-2
