Premier League 2022-23: Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur: Predicted lineup, injury news, head-to-head, telecast

The outcome of this fixture is set to have huge implications in the relegation battle.

Leeds United face Tottenham Hotspur on the final match day of the 2022–23 season of the Premier League. The hosts are staring at losing their status as a top-division club and suffering relegation to the second tier of English football. Even a win might not be enough to keep the team in the league next season. Everton and Leicester City will also look to secure three points in their respective fixtures. The relegation battle is set to go down to the wire, with only two points separating the three teams.

As for Tottenham Hotspur, they are eighth on the table and can secure qualification into the UEFA Europa Conference League at best if Aston Villa fails to win their fixture. A terrible season is coming to an end for the fans of the club. The London-based outfit could not finish in the top four and does not have a chance to get into the UEFA Europa League either.
