Tottenham Hotspur’s next potential relegation six-pointer against Leeds United has now been rescheduled ahead of the Premier League run-in.
With Tottenham Hotspur’s managerial search concluded, and Roberto De Zerbi set to take charge for the remainder of the season on a five-year deal, attention now turns to what truly matters: avoiding relegation.
Tottenham currently find themselves a single point above the relegation zone and have seven matches to secure their Premier League status, as the relegation battle intensifies between themselves, Nottingham Forest, Leeds United and West Ham United.
Spurs already fell short in their last relegation six-pointer, with Forest dismantling the Lilywhites 3-0 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last time out in the Premier League.
That defeat ultimately brought Igor Tudor’s time in the Tottenham dugout to an end, ushering in a new era under De Zerbi.
Tottenham vs Leeds United fixture rescheduled in Premier League
With the international break now coming to an end, the Premier League has confirmed a change in date and time for one of Spurs’ biggest encounters this season.
The updated fixture schedule has seen Tottenham’s potential relegation six-pointer with Leeds United rescheduled.
The fixture was initially set to take place on Saturday, 9 May, but has now been moved to Monday, 11 May, with kick-off scheduled for 8 pm UK time at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Spurs face crucial run-in ahead of Leeds United clash
Given the context of their respective seasons, this match-up could decide the fate of both clubs this campaign.
A victory for Tottenham could bolster their hopes of survival, while a defeat for Leeds could drag them further into the relegation race, which they are not far from.
However, before that fixture, Spurs must face Sunderland, Brighton, Wolves and Aston Villa – games in which they must secure results to keep their survival hopes alive before they take on Leeds United.
