Corr, it's some atmosphere at Elland Road - the Leeds fans are in full voice as the players make their way out on to the pitch.

Leeds are a huge football club, who have had relative success recently. I get they've got injuries to big players, but I keep watching them thinking, no, no that can't keep happening. The same thing keeps happening week after week after week, and the number of goals they're conceding is obviously alarming.

They will get relegated if that doesn't stop because Newcastle are in form, Burnley are in form, Everton aren't and Brentford aren't. Today, in the relegation battle, when you look at the teams who are playing each other, is a key day.

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte, speaking to BT Sport: "I want to see a good reaction and a good performance, to show great character, these are the most important things, and then to try to have a good result.

"We are playing a lot of games in a few days and time to recover is very short, especially the wing-backs, they run a lot during the game, they need to recover after two games in a row.

"I have great respect for Marcelo Bielsea, he is a really good coach - for this reason we have to pay great attention but at the same time it is important for us to have a good result."

Kalvin Phillips remains out today - Leeds have lost 16 of their 22 Premier League fixtures without the England midfielder in the team since the start of last season.

[With Conte], one week things are brilliant, the next they are terrible. For me, I think that might have been a bit of a power play to the hierarchy at the football club. I think there is a power struggle between him and Levy. I don't think he was happy with how January went; I think he wanted more reinforcements and to build the squad to suit his style more.

After the game, he cut a very frustrated figure and said things he might not have meant completely. He's too headstrong and stubborn to admit that; he'll stick to his guns. If he doesn't get what he wants or was promised before he took the job, he'll walk out the door.

Tottenham Hotspur

More from Spurs boss Antonio Conte, who says you probably don't want to be sitting down for dinner with him after his side have lost a game.

"I think that I am not the right person, when I lose a game my mood is very bad and I prefer to stay alone and live the defeat, to stay alone and metabolise the defeat," said the Italian.

"I need one day to recover at least. This is me. It is me. I don't like to lose. If you ask me what I hate in life it is to lose games.

"My mentality is to prepare myself, to prepare the players and to avoid this type of situation. There are many coaches that don't suffer.

"For sure when I lose, if you expect that I am happy or to come to a press conference and laugh, I am not this person.

"I am sorry if I show my disappointment because maybe it would be good to keep this inside and not show my emotion.

"I am an honest person, it is difficult for me to lie or hide the truth."

The stats do not make great reading for Leeds.

They have lost all eight league matches this season against the established 'big six' clubs by an aggregate score of 7-34, have taken one point from their five most recent matches and conceded 17 goals and only have 23 points in total this season, their lowest tally after 25 games since the 2006-07 Championship season, in which they were relegated.

Marcelo Bielsa's side could also equal the club top-flight record of conceding at least three goals in five successive matches, set from November to December 1959 - they were relegated that season.

Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa, speaking to BT Sport: "From the last game there are a lot of corrections to be made and the expectations for this game are the maximum because the final third of the season obliges us to get as many points as possible."

I think we confidently say this game won't be 0-0 because neither side can defend. Leeds' defending has been absolutely awful, they've conceded far too many goals, and the goalkeeper has made the second most saves in the league so that tells you a lot of things. The most damaging defeat would be for Leeds; look at the bottom of the table and the amount of games they've played compared to the others.

Other teams are winning games, Leeds are losing games but it is the manner in which they've been defeated. They are losing heavily; they are not in games, they don't look like turning games around. That is the worrying thing for me.

Antonio Conte has documented Spurs' "struggles" in almost every press conference since his arrival, and now the Italian finds himself trying to fend off an unwanted 19-year record...

Tottenham are aiming to avoid losing four Premier League games in a calendar month for the first time since December 2003 under David Pleat.

Both sides had very poor results in midweek. I saw the Leeds one coming because of their injuries and the fact they were going to Anfield - but Tottenham's defeat at Burnley was much more of a surprise.

Spurs have now lost four of their past five league games and it was typical Tottenham to see them go to Manchester City and win the way they did on Saturday, then follow it up with such a limp display on a wet and windy Wednesday at Turf Moor.

Leeds have bigger problems, though. You can't play the way they did against Liverpool and expect to get away with it, but they just don't have a Plan B.

I'm expecting a reaction from Spurs, but I don't think Leeds can do anything different, especially with Patrick Bamford and Kalvin Phillips still out injured, which is why they have been dragged into a relegation scrap.

Prediction:0-2

Right, let's return our focus to the early game, where Leeds need a win to ease their relegation fears and Spurs need one to placate Antonio Conte...

Aston Villa

Steven Gerrard says a win at Brighton today would be "the medicine we need right now," following successive defeats by Newcastle and Watford.

"Brighton gives us the opportunity to bounce back," he said. "A good win here is the medicine we need right now - it’s been a tough couple of weeks in terms of results.

"We had a really strong consistent start and we were probably punching above our weight to what people were expecting.

"That tells me that we have the basis and potential of a really good team and squad of players.

"The character and personality of players after the last couple of results has been what I wanted to see."

Despite sitting in 13th place, Gerrard is optimistic that his side can still finish within the top 10, but says there's no complacency in their positioning.

"We move forward and we have to persevere.

"I knew coming into this job it was going to take time to get right but what I would say about my players is that everyone is trying to pull in the right direction to change results."

Graham Potter says he does not concern himself with Brighton's form guide as the club look to get back to winning ways against Aston Villa after a 3-0 defeat by Burnley last weekend.

The Seagulls have won one Premier League game in their past six and despite dominating possession against Sean Dyche's side at the Amex, they managed just a single shot on target during a disappointing performance.

"I don't analyse the statistics," said Potter. "I hadn't really considered it.

"As you can see from the league generally, apart from the top three, getting points consistently in this league is very, very difficult.

"We played away at Manchester United and at half-time we're probably thinking: 'Yeah, this is quite a good performance.' And then after five minutes, we've got a man sent off and then we are a goal down and it becomes difficult.

"Then you have one bad performance against Burnley and you have journalists saying: 'You've had one win in six'. But previous to that, we had some good performances.

"As I say every week, we are Brighton & Hove Albion. We have no divine right to win the Premier League. There will be bigger clubs and better clubs than us suffering for points as well."
