- Supercomputer predicts five-year first in Leeds United vs Tottenham
Leeds United are hoping to get back on track when they face Tottenham on Saturday.
Daniel Farke's side are on a grim run of form at the moment, with no wins from their last five games.
Roberto De Zerbi's team come into the Elland Road contest with three wins in their last three, turning around a miserable start to the campaign.

The hosts will be hoping to bring them right back down to earth, and secure their first three points in ages.
The Peacocks currently sit 12th in the Premier League, while the visitors are ninth.
A new prediction has now been made for the contest, which is a midday kick-off.
What has the supercomputer predicted for Leeds vs Tottenham?
Leeds are actually favoured for the clash, which may come as a surprise to some supporters, given their recent woes.
The Opta Analyst supercomputer has handed the Peacocks a 41.7 per cent chance of victory.
The visitors have been handed a 31.6 per cent likelihood of taking all three points.

Meanwhile, the draw is ranked as the least likely outcome with a 26.7 per cent probability.
Leeds' last win over Spurs was in May 2021, so it would be a five-year first if the supercomputer is right.

The LS11 side can't count on the supercomputer to end their hoodoo against Spurs, it will have to come from the players on the pitch, rather than a statistical model.
They have a miserable recent record against the Lilywhites, with five losses and one draw in their last six against that opposition.

The Peacocks' last win against the North London outfit was a 3-1 home win in the 2020-21 campaign.
Stuart Dallas, Patrick Bamford and Rodrigo got the goals that day, but Farke will relying on Dominic Calvert-Lewin to bag this time around.
The Englishman has scored once in his last five games, with his strike in the 1-1 draw against Manchester United, and will be keen to get back on the scoresheet.
Whether he manages to do that may well decide whether the Whites win the contest as the supercomputer has predicted, or take another miserable result to continue their winless streak.
