Saturday’s results saw the fight at the bottom of the table become a straight shootout between Spurs and West Ham, and the former could go four points clear of their rivals after they were beaten by Arsenal.Roberto De Zerbi’s men are looking to make it three consecutive wins on Monday night, and Gallagher will be central to Tottenham’s efforts to beat Leeds.

De Zerbi’s men got on top of Villa with their relentless pressing last time out, and repeating that trick against Leeds could easily see them starve Stach of the ball, as he is likely to start in an advanced midfield role. He has been one of Tottenham’s best performers across their two recent wins, and he will need his biggest performance yet if they are to come away with a win against Leeds.Tottenham could be about to lose Gallagher alreadyFootball Insider revealed in April that Tottenham could lose Gallagher this summer, with Everton lining up a move to try to prise him away from his new club in the coming months.David Moyes is a big admirer of the former Chelsea man and is keen to add him to his group ahead of next season, with the centre of midfield a major area of priority for the Toffees.The Merseysiders are keen to try to strike a loan deal with the option to buy the 26-year-old, rather than paying for him upfront.

Gallagher’s importance to Tottenham has already grown in recent weeks, and they won’t want to lose him this quickly, especially if they retain their Premier League status. He is beginning to come into his own in North London after a shaky start, and he may now hold the key to his team’s survival bid.
