Abdulhafiz TeslimLeeds United have now officially secured their place in the Premier League after West Ham United’s 1-0 defeat to Arsenal at the London Stadium on Sunday.
The Hammers believed they had snatched a late equaliser, but VAR intervened to disallow the goal and ensure Arsenal left with all three points.
The result moved Arsenal closer to a first Premier League title in 22 years, while piling even more pressure on West Ham with just two matches left to play.
West Ham now sit one point behind Tottenham Hotspur, although Spurs still have a game in hand, meaning the Hammers will be hoping Leeds can take something from Monday night’s clash in north London.
A Leeds warning dropped for Tottenham on talkSPORT
Following Sunday’s result, attention has now shifted to Tottenham’s clash with Leeds, which was discussed by Jeff Stelling and Gabby Agbonlahor on talkSPORT Breakfast.
West Ham will be hoping Leeds can frustrate Spurs, while Tottenham may expect a Leeds side playing with less pressure following confirmation of their survival.
Daniel Farke will not let his team relax
With their Premier League status secured, Leeds can approach their final three matches with more freedom and confidence.
Even so, Daniel Farke will still demand high standards from his players and will want them to finish the season strongly.
There is also significant prize money still to play for depending on where Leeds finish in the table, which could impact the club’s summer transfer plans.
Tottenham, meanwhile, will be desperate for a crucial home victory as they continue their own battle near the bottom of the table.
