Leeds will be looking to continue their unbeaten run in the Premier League when they host Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
In the first game back after the international break, Leeds face a tough challenge against Spurs and new manager Antonio Conte, but Marcelo Bielsa's side will be wanting to build on recent performances and move up the table.
The Whites claimed a 1-1 draw against an in-form Leicester City side last time out, and Bielsa's side have been handed a boost in the build-up to the clash, with injured players finally starting to return after long spells on the sidelines.
Back in training, Junior Firpo is expected to be in contention to start on Sunday, whilst Jamie Shackleton is also back in training and may be fit to face Spurs.
Leeds picked up no injuries over the international break, but Patrick Bamford, Luke Ayling and Robin Koch all remain sidelined.
So, what line-up will Bielsa's side select? And, what could the final score be?
We used FIFA 22 to get a score prediction for Spurs vs Leeds on Sunday and this is what happened...
Spurs vs Leeds score predicted by FIFA 22 simulation
We used kick-off mode in FIFA 22, but didn't select a team to control, we then selected the teams and watched the match play out by itself, to give us a score prediction.
We predict that Spurs could set up in a 3-4-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Lloris; Sanchez, Dier, Davies; Emerson, Ndombele, Hojbjerg, Reguilon; Moura, Kane, Son.
Whilst we predict Leeds could set up in a 4-1-4-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: Meslier; Dallas, Llorente, Cooper, Firpo; Phillips; Raphinha, Forshaw, Rodrigo, Harrison; James.
Leeds started the contest as the better side and controlled much of the ball, but they couldn't muster many shots on goal.
Hugo Lloris was called into action on multiple occasions, including a brilliant full-stretch save to deny Dan James, but the game was 0-0 heading into the half-time break.
As the second half wore on, Spurs found themselves growing more into the game with Heung-Min Son, Tanguy Ndombele and Harry Kane all linking up well in the final third, and it was the latter who opened the scoring.
Sergio Reguilon's out-swinging corner was sent towards Kane, and the England captain beat two Leeds defenders in the air to loop his header into the far top corner to put Spurs ahead.
Liam Cooper was then sent off for Leeds for picking up two yellow cards, and the resulting free-kick led to Spurs' second goal as Lucas Moura got on the scoresheet.
After the original free-kick was cleared and the Leeds backline pushed up the pitch, Moura's late run was found by Ndombele, and the winger made no mistake in firing past Meslier into the roof of the net.
Leeds tried to find a way back into the game with 10-men, and the Whites managed to pull a goal back with five minutes to go through Jack Harrison.
Harrison's drilled pass into the feet of Rodrigo was smartly flicked on by the Spaniard and back into the path of Harrison, and the winger jinxed past one challenge before firing a shot into the bottom corner.
Unfortunately for Leeds, it was too little, too late, and Spurs emerged as 2-1 winners.

Here are the full-time match stats.
FIFA 22 predicts that if Son, Kane and Ndombele are in strong form, Tottenham could be hard to beat for Leeds this weekend, particularly if they find themselves down to ten men!
