Key Stats

Leeds United are on a 9-match winning streak across all competitions.
Tottenham have kept only one clean sheet in their last 10 away matches.
There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 5 of Tottenham’s last 6 games.

My exact correct score prediction is Leeds United 1 – 2 Tottenham Hotspur. I expect a thrilling, open cup tie. Leeds’ incredible form and home advantage make them a serious threat, and they will likely score. However, Tottenham’s superior top-level quality and firepower, particularly through Son Heung-min, should ultimately see them through in a tightly contested match.
