- Why Dominic Calvert-Lewin record makes for grim reading at Leeds United pre-Tottenham
Dominic Calvert-Lewin will hope to turn his prospects around as Leeds United face Tottenham Hotspur next.
The Whites are coming off a 2-0 loss to Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium and are now on a five-game winless run in the Premier League.

Daniel Farke now faces some slight pressure at the West Yorkshire outfit, with his contract in its final year - although there has been talk of a new one being readied.
Calvert-Lewin has struggled against Tottenham in the Premier League, which surely won't give the Elland Road faithful much encouragement.
The England international has four league goals this season, but he doesn't have much support up top.
Anton Stach, James Justin, Jayden Bogle and Noah Okafor have each scored one goal in the Premier League this season, and the Peacocks' best hope of finding the back of the net against Spurs will likely come from the 29-year-old centre-forward.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin Premier League record vs Tottenham
Calvert-Lewin is set to sign a new contract at Leeds amid interest from Manchester United.
The striker's current deal at Elland Road will enter its final year at the end of the season and the Whites are looking to secure his future.
Calvert-Lewin has started in the opening nine league games of the season for the West Yorkshire outfit and will likely be leading the line against Tottenham.
The Englishman did score against Spurs in the 1-1 draw back in May, but his overall record doesn't paint a pretty picture.
In the last 14 Premier League meetings with the North London outfit, Calvert-Lewin has been on the winning side just three times.

The centre-forward has scored three goals and provided one assist in the last 10 matches against Tottenham.
If the striker's record is anything to go by, Farke could be staring at an uncomfortable end at Elland Road.

Sentiment around Farke's future at Leeds is slowly turning after the downturn in form.
While the Whites have lost just twice in the league this season, Coventry City and Ipswich Town have more wins.
The West Yorkshire outfit have one of the best defences in the Premier League, but their attack has been severely lacking.

While the Peacocks are expected to extend Farke's stay at Elland Road, if the current form continues, they may pull the plug on that idea.
Losing to Tottenham wouldn't be ideal for the Whites and it will surely lead to more noise around the German manager's future in LS11.
