Daniel Farke brought Sean Longstaff and Lukas Nmecha into Leeds United’s starting lineup for the Premier League meeting with Tottenham Hotspur at Elland Road on November 7. Joe Rodon and Noah Okafor returned to the matchday squad after injury, with both players named among the substitutes.

Confirmed team selections

Leeds’ official team announcement confirmed two changes to the starting side. Fantasy Football Scout’s team-news report identified Harry Wilson and Daniel James as the players making way for Longstaff and Nmecha. Both remained available from the bench, alongside Rodon, Okafor and Brenden Aaronson.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin was selected to start despite a recent foot problem, partnering Nmecha in attack. Captain Ethan Ampadu, Ao Tanaka and Longstaff were named in midfield. James Trafford started in goal, with Jayden Bogle, Gabriel Gudmundsson, Tarik Muharemović, Nico Elvedi and James Justin completing the lineup.

Anton Stach was absent from Leeds’ matchday squad. Okafor, who had also been an injury doubt before the fixture, was included among the substitutes. Rodon’s return gave Farke another defensive option from the bench.

Tottenham made one alteration from their previous league match, with Pedro Porro replacing Dominic Solanke in the starting eleven. Solanke and James Maddison were named on the bench. Rodrigo Bentancur was also among the substitutes after his three-match suspension.

Tottenham’s official match guide listed the kickoff as 12:30 p.m. GMT on November 7, equivalent to 7:30 a.m. Eastern time in the United States. The fixture was the clubs’ final league outing before the November international break.
