Lukas Nmecha - Makes first league start of season Nmecha generated two shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 win versus Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Nmecha made his first Premier League start of the season Saturday, partnering Dominic Calvert-Lewin in Leeds' attack. The forward tested Antonin Kinsky with a header during the first half and had another effort blocked after working his way into the penalty area following the break. He was eventually replaced by Noah Okafor in the 77th minute, with the substitute scoring the winner shortly afterwards. Despite his encouraging attacking involvement, Nmecha faces competition for regular starts, particularly following Okafor's return from injury.

Jayden Bogle - Creates three chances in narrow win Bogle had three shots (zero on goal), six crosses (two accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Bogle created the joint-most chances (three) and took the joint-most shots (three) against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday. Nevertheless, his shots missed the target three out of three times. The Englishman was still extensively involved in attack as he made six crosses with two of them finding his teammates. Likewise, his defensive contributions were limited, with only one tackle and three recoveries throughout the game.

James Trafford - Keeps clean sheet against Spurs Trafford recorded four saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 1-0 win versus Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Trafford delivered a solid performance Saturday, making four saves to secure a clean sheet as Leeds ended their five-match winless run. The goalkeeper denied Omar Marmoush and Mathys Tel during the first half before producing another important stop to keep out Jan Paul van Hecke's late header. Although Tottenham struggled to create clear-cut opportunities after halftime, Trafford remained alert when called upon. The shutout provides another encouraging return for the goalkeeper, who continues to hold down the starting role ahead of Michael Zetterer.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - Misses chances in narrow win Calvert-Lewin registered three shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Calvert-Lewin returned to the starting lineup despite dealing with a foot problem ahead of Saturday's contest. The striker came close to opening the scoring in the 50th minute, but his header was cleared off the line by Dominic Solanke. He also created a promising opportunity for Ao Tanaka three minutes later, although the midfielder fired over the bar. While Calvert-Lewin failed to register a goal contribution, his involvement in several dangerous attacking sequences was encouraging.

Gabriel Gudmundsson - Hamstring issue forces him off Gudmundsson was replaced at halftime of Saturday's win over Tottenham due to a hamstring problem, coach Daniel Farke said after the match, per Leeds Live. "Gabi had problems with h...

Impact Gudmundsson came off at the break against Tottenham with a hamstring problem, just a week after he picked up a knock at Bournemouth. The wing back had trained through that issue and started on the left before being withdrawn at half-time. The defender has a history of hamstring trouble, including in pre-season, so Leeds will be waiting on an update on the extent of this one. He could now be a serious doubt for his country's games during the international break, though the pause in the Premier League schedule does give him some time to recover.

Ao Tanaka - Misses target with both attempts Tanaka generated two shots (zero on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Tanaka started in midfield on Saturday and contributed two shots, although neither tested Tottenham goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky. The Japanese international missed a promising opportunity during Leeds' improved second-half performance, while both of his crosses also failed to find a teammate. He was eventually replaced by Harry Wilson in the 77th minute, shortly before Noah Okafor scored the winner.

Sean Longstaff - Delivers eight crosses in rare start Longstaff generated one shot (one on goal), eight crosses (one accurate) and six corners in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus Tottenham Hotspur. In addition, he was given a yellow card...

Impact Longstaff made his first start of the calendar year against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday. The midfielder delivered eight crosses with 12.5 per cent accuracy and six corners. The Englishman also forced Antonin Kinsky into an excellent save in the 75th minute. It was a decent display from Longstaff following a prolonged absence, but once Anton Stach returns, it will be rare to see him back in action.

Noah Okafor - Nets winner off bench Okafor scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 80th minute.

Impact Okafor made an immediate impact off the bench on Saturday against Tottenham Hotspur. The Swiss footballer scored a goal just 97 seconds after being subbed on, as he needed just one shot to decide the winner. Okafor now has two goals in six Premier League starts. His return from an adductor (groin) injury is encouraging, but regular starts will still be doubtful due to his recent return.

Gabriel Gudmundsson - Forced off at halftime Gudmundsson (knock) was forced off at halftime of Saturday's Premier League clash against Tottenham, potentially due to the injury concern he had been dealing with earlier in the w...

Impact Gudmundsson entered Saturday's encounter having recently overcome a minor knock that had disrupted his preparations, although he had resumed team training and was declared available by coach Daniel Farke. The defender started in his usual left wing-back role but was unable to continue beyond halftime, raising concerns that his recent issue may have resurfaced. Melvin Bard took his place for the second half and could benefit from additional playing time if Gudmundsson requires another spell on the sidelines. The severity of the potential setback remains unclear, with the November international break providing additional recovery time before Leeds' next league fixture.

Anton Stach - Ruled out Saturday Stach (foot) is not in the squad for Saturday's Premier League match against Tottenham.

Impact Stach has not recovered in time from the foot issue that kept him out of team training during the week. The midfielder was available off the bench against Bournemouth, but the separate foot problem interrupts his return from an adductor injury. His absence reduces Leeds' midfield depth, with Ao Tanaka and Ethan Ampadu expected to continue their partnership until he returns to full speed.

Noah Okafor - Returns to bench Okafor (groin) is on the bench for Saturday's Premier League match against Tottenham.

Impact Okafor is fit enough to rejoin the squad after an adductor issue forced him to miss the Bournemouth match. The winger had been limited to individual work as of Thursday, so starting on the bench gives Leeds room to manage his first minutes back. His last appearance was a 25-minute outing against Sunderland following a separate injury. Lukas Nmecha is getting a starting role in the attack, with Okafor available if called upon.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - Finds starting role Calvert-Lewin (foot) is in the starting XI for Saturday's Premier League match against Tottenham.

Impact Calvert-Lewin keeps his place up front after a setback with his foot kept him out of Thursday's team training. Coach Daniel Farke was cautiously optimistic that the striker would be available, and he is fit enough to make his 10th consecutive league start. He scored four goals across the first nine, making his inclusion a boost for Leeds' attack.

Joe Rodon - Option off bench Rodon (hamstring) is on the bench for Saturday's Premier League match against Tottenham.

Impact Rodon returns to the matchday squad after several weeks out with a hamstring injury. The center-back resumed full team training this week after previously taking part in only portions of sessions. With Nico Elvedi available in central defense, Leeds can ease Rodon back into competitive action as a substitute.

Gabriel Gudmundsson - Fit for Saturday Gudmundsson (knock) will be available for Saturday's Premier League clash against Tottenham after overcoming a minor injury concern and participating in team training over the past...

Impact Gudmundsson has overcome a minor knock that had raised concerns over his availability for Saturday's encounter. The defender has established himself as the undisputed starter at left wing-back, recording one assist, 25 crosses and 14 tackles across seven Premier League starts this season. His return to full training means he is expected to reclaim his usual starting role at left wing-back against Tottenham, providing Leeds with continuity on the left flank.

James Justin - Available despite knock Justin (knock) is available for Saturday's Premier League clash against Tottenham after returning to team training following a minor fitness concern, according to coach Daniel Fark...

Impact Justin has shaken off a minor knock and is expected to retain his starting role against Tottenham. The versatile defender has started all nine Premier League matches this season, operating both as a wing-back and as part of the back three. He has contributed one goal, one assist, 24 tackles and 29 clearances, establishing himself as a key figure in Leeds' defensive setup. His availability provides valuable flexibility across multiple defensive positions.

Anton Stach - Doubtful for Saturday Stach (foot) remains doubtful for Saturday's Premier League clash against Tottenham after being restricted to individual training throughout the week, according to coach Daniel Far...

Impact Stach continues to deal with a foot issue after recently recovering from an adductor injury. The midfielder was available on the bench against Bournemouth but has yet to resume full team training ahead of Saturday's encounter. His limited preparation raises doubts over his involvement, with Ao Tanaka and Ethan Ampadu expected to form the midfield partnership once again, while Harry Wilson could replace Stach in the attacking midfield role.

Noah Okafor - Remains limited to individual training Okafor (groin) has yet to participate in team training this week and remains limited to individual work ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash against Tottenham, according to coa...

Impact Okafor remains doubtful for Saturday after missing the previous match against Bournemouth due to an adductor injury. The winger had recently returned from another injury and played 25 minutes against Sunderland before suffering his latest setback. His inability to resume team training raises concerns over his availability, with Daniel James potentially continuing to benefit from his absence.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - Optimism despite foot concern Calvert-Lewin (foot) is doubtful for Saturday's Premier League clash against Tottenham after missing Thursday's team training session, according to coach Daniel Farke. "Calvert-Lew...

Impact Calvert-Lewin has started all nine of Leeds' Premier League matches this season, scoring four goals while establishing himself as a key attacking presence. His foot issue raises concerns over his availability for Saturday, although there remains optimism that he could recover in time. If he is unable to feature, Lukas Nmecha could see increased playing time in attack as Leeds look to compensate for his potential absence.

Joe Rodon - Could return to squad Saturday Rodon (hamstring) has returned to full team training ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash against Tottenham after spending several weeks on the sidelines, according to coach Da...

Impact Rodon has made significant progress in his recovery from a hamstring injury after spending several weeks on the sidelines. The center-back has now resumed full team training after previously being limited to partial sessions, putting him in contention for Saturday's encounter. However, he is unlikely to return directly to the starting lineup after such a lengthy absence, with Nico Elvedi and Jaka Bijol remaining options in central defense.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jayden Bogle - Poor in service Bogle had five crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 loss against AFC Bournemouth.

Impact None of Bogle's crosses were accurate, so he wasn't able to set up any sort of attack for Leeds. The midfielder will need to be more efficient if Leeds wish to take any points off Tottenham, a team that has won three in a row and only allowed one goal in that span.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

James Trafford - Surrenders two goals Trafford had three saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-0 loss against AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Trafford was actually solid for most of the contest, with the second goal for Bournemouth coming in stoppage time. The goalkeeper will likely face more pressure against a surging Tottenham side that has scored seven goals across its last three EPL matches.
