West Yorkshire gears up to host the reigning Europa League Champions

The Elland Road gears up to host the Matchweek 7 of the English Premier League, where the newly promoted home side Leeds United take on Tottenham Hotspur.

Leeds United clinched the EFL Championship last season. However, their return to the English top flight was met with disappointment after a big defeat to Arsenal in the second matchweek. The Peacocks slowly gained momentum after wins over Everton and Wolves. They bowed out of the Carabao Cup after a penalty shoot-out defeat to Sheffield Wednesday.

Tottenham Hotspur kick-started the new era under Thomas Frank on an optimistic note after wins over Man City, West Ham United and Burnley. They suffered a solitary defeat against AFC Bournemouth and are just four points behind table toppers Liverpool so far. They are coming after a 2-2 draw over Bodo Glimt in the UEFA Champions League in the Arctic Circle.

Players to Watch

Sean Longstaff (Leeds United)

The 27-year-old English midfielder from North Shields is a product of Newcastle United youth setup. He has previously plied his trade with the Magpies, Kilmarnock and Blackpool before making a move to West Yorkshire recently. He has so far played every single game for Leeds so far and even scored a goal and gave an assist.

Micky van de Ven (Tottenham Hotspur)

Many doubted whether van de Ven could do big things in football after facing criticism for his speed early in his career at FC Volendam. But the Dutch defender has defied all odds to help Spurs win the UEFA Europa League and will also be Spurs’ captain if Romero fails to recover for the next game. So far, he has made 8 appearances and even scored twice this season.
