Tottenham Hotspur have received a major boost ahead of Monday night\u2019s crucial relegation clash with Leeds United, with three of the visitors\u2019 first-team regulars set to miss the match.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> have three more finals to play this season as they continue their fight for survival with just three games remaining.<\/p>\n

There is no denying many Spurs fans will fancy their chances after watching their side pick up back-to-back wins in their last two league outings, having previously gone a whopping 118 days without a single Premier League victory.<\/p>\n

Things have certainly been looking up for the Lilywhites since Roberto De Zerbi<\/a> took charge in north London, with Spurs suffering just one defeat in their last four outings while collecting seven points from a possible 12.<\/p>\n

The numbers crunched by Opta\u2019s supercomputer now have Tottenham as favourites to avoid the drop<\/a>, with Spurs currently involved in a two-horse race alongside London rivals West Ham United.<\/p>\n

Those chances could increase further with a home victory over Leeds United, who were themselves once dragged into the relegation battle but now sit 14th in the table.<\/p>\n

Spurs\u2019 hopes of picking up a win on Monday night appear to have received a significant boost following the latest injury update from Leeds. <\/p>\n

Assistant coach Edmund Riemer took charge of the Whites\u2019 press conference ahead of the clash as Daniel Farke is currently ill, although it remains to be seen whether the Leeds boss will recover in time for the trip to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.<\/p>\n

It was also revealed that three more first-team regulars are now set to miss out against Spurs. Spurs Web reported last week that Gudmundsson was a major doubt for Monday\u2019s game<\/a>, and it has now been confirmed that he will miss out. <\/p>\n

Noah Okafor has also been ruled out after suffering a calf injury, with a return pencilled in for the final day of the season, while centre-back Pascal Struik is now a doubt after hurting his hip.<\/p>\n

\u2018Gabi will be out for this week. We will assess him on a daily basis.\u2019<\/p>\n

Noah Okafor has picked up a calf strain, ruling him out of the next two games. Hopefully, available in\u2026<\/p>\n

Spurs must capitalise on Leeds United absentees<\/p>\n

Of course, Tottenham must now make this count by securing a victory at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium<\/a> in front of their home support.<\/p>\n

Spurs Web has already relayed the plans Spurs have in place to turn the stadium into a raucous atmosphere on Monday night<\/a>, with supporters eager to drive the team on.<\/p>\n

Depending on how results unfold between West Ham United and Arsenal, Tottenham could move four points clear of the drop with victory over Leeds, should the Hammers lose, or three points clear if they draw. <\/p>\n

A win for Nuno Espirito Santo\u2019s men will only make the situation even more important for Spurs if they are to keep their survival fate in their own hands.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
