Leeds United can confirm their Premier League status on Monday evening with a victory over Tottenham Hotspur in North London.
The Whites go into the encounter in the capital in fine form in the top-flight, unbeaten in six matches dating back to the start of March.
In recent weeks, after an emphatic 3-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers was followed up with a last-gasp draw at AFC Bournemouth, Daniel Farke’s side continued their momentum with a 3-1 triumph over Burnley last time out.
An Anton Stach long-range effort fired United into the lead before goals from Noah Okafor and Dominic Calvert-Lewin after the break sealed an important three points at Elland Road.
Leeds sit 14th in the standings with 43 points collected prior to the final three league encounters of the season, three places above a resurgent Spurs side who have found form in recent weeks under new boss Roberto De Zerbi.
After drawing with Brighton, Tottenham have picked up vital victories away at Wolves and Aston Villa in their bid to avoid the drop.
In the West Midlands, Conor Gallagher and Richarlison were on target to help last season’s Europa League winners out of the bottom three.
In 104 meetings between the two clubs, United have picked up 33 wins while the shares have been spoiled on 29 occasions.
Action from the Tottenham Hotspur stadium gets underway at 8pm.

The view from inside the camp:
Ahead of the match, Okafor spoke exclusively to Premier League Productions and said: “I think at the moment they are in a good mood, they have had back-to-back wins.
“I think they were struggling a little bit but this is football. Everyone in the Premier League is competitive. Everyone can beat everyone.”

Team News:
From the pre-match press conference, assistant manager Edmund Riemer explained the clash has come too soon for full-back Gabriel Gudmundsson on his return from a hamstring injury. Okafor will miss the match through a calf strain while there are also question marks on the fitness of Pascal Struijk, who has been struggling with a knock to the hip.
