Leeds United news as Sky pundit predicts 'shock' Whites win ahead of Spurs clash

Here are your Leeds United evening headlines on Thursday, November 10.

Sky pundit makes 'stunned' Whites prediction ahead of Spurs clash

Sky Sports presenter and pundit Jeff Stelling has said that he believes Leeds United can cause an upset this weekend as they head down south to face Tottenham Hotspur.

The Whites are in hot form after back-to-back wins in the Premier League for the first time this season after two late winners from Crysencio Summerville has dragged them from the relegation zone up to 12th.

Spurs, on the other hand, have lost three of their last four and have slipped further away from league leaders and rivals Arsenal as they sit in 4th.

Writing in his weekly Super 6 column for Sky, Stelling believes that due to Spurs' poor form, the Whites have a great chance at upsetting Spurs.

"Tottenham have been struggling for form recently, with three losses from their last four Premier League games.

"Leeds shocked Liverpool the other week and produced a great comeback against Bournemouth at the weekend, so I think they could stun Spurs before the World Cup.

"Spurs 1-2 Leeds."

49ers Enterprises hovering over Leeds United takeover trigger but January transfer talks dominate

Buttons need to be pushed and 49ers Enterprises becomes Leeds United’s new majority shareholder. That’s where we understand the club’s takeover situation to be.

It is no secret this is the direction a takeover has been travelling ever since the San Francisco 49ers’ investment arm took control of its first 15 per cent in May 2018. Paraag Marathe showed up in town for the first time that spring and took a seat on the board of directors at Elland Road.

Marathe and the NFL franchise would watch from afar as Marcelo Bielsa took the Whites through play-off pain and the Championship title before cementing their place in the Premier League. Halfway through that first top-flight campaign, the Americans would swoop again.

Leeds United midfielder handed huge World Cup disappointment

Leeds United midfielder Mateusz Klich has been left out of the Poland squad for the World Cup in Qatar that gets underway this month. Klich has been a regular for his country in recent years but his lack of game time has seen his World Cup dream fall flat on its face at the final hurdle.

At 32, this was arguably the last opportunity of Klich's playing career to feature in the competition, however that will no longer be the case. He has played just 188 minutes of Premier League football this season and has been an unused substitute in each of the last two matches.

Reports had indicated in the summer that Klich was keen to leave in order to secure regular minutes elsewhere to cement his place in the Poland squad, but conversations with Jesse Marsch appeared to reverse that decision. Klich has been capped 41 times for Poland and ever since becoming a regular under Marcelo Bielsa at Leeds, has always been a staple of the squad.
