Daniel Farke’s remarkable record against Thomas Frank to give Leeds fans confidence
Leeds United are back at Elland Road for the second game in a row as they face Tottenham this weekend.
Leeds drew 2-2 with Bournemouth at Elland Road last weekend as they extended their unbeaten home run to three games in the Premier League.
Tottenham come to West Yorkshire on Saturday afternoon, off the back of a long trip to Norway to face Bodø/Glimt in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
Daniel Farke will be without Dan James, among a host of other players, as Leeds look to grab their first win against Spurs since 2021.
Leeds will be the underdogs in the game against Tottenham, but Farke’s head-to-head record against Spurs boss Thomas Frank will be welcome news to fans.
Daniel Farke yet to lose against Thomas Frank
Farke will set up his Leeds team to hurt Spurs, and will hope to continue his historic edge over his opposition manager.
The two have faced each other on five separate occasions when they were Norwich City and Brentford bosses, respectively.
Farke has an unbeaten record against his Danish compatriot across those five games, securing three victories.
Saturday will be the first time that they have met since 2021, with the Leeds boss hoping to secure a fourth win in six games against Frank.

Leeds have a brilliant chance to pull off an upset against Tottenham
Leeds will go into this game full of confidence after one of their best displays of the season against Bournemouth.
Farke’s troops deserved the win, but just could not hold out and conceded an injury-time equaliser.
Spurs, meanwhile, are coming off a lacklustre performance at home to Wolves, followed by a tricky away trip in Europe.
Leeds players like Anton Stach and Sean Longstaff will relish the chance to get stuck in against a tired Spurs midfield.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin will also be desperate to open his Leeds account at Elland Road.
Leeds will need a similar level of performance to get a result on Saturday, but a scalp against Tottenham would be huge, even this early in the season.
