Leeds fans set off flares outside the Tottenham team's hotel in the early hours of Sunday morning ahead of their crucial Premier League game.
Eighth-placed Tottenham will travel to Elland Road on Sunday afternoon to face Leeds' side, who need three points to have any chance of surviving in the Premier League.
Sam Allardyce has been tasked with the almighty task of keeping the Peacocks in the lead but has yet to win a game since taking charge earlier this month.
Meanwhile, Tottenham have been through a tumultuous campaign and are now just one point away from European spots, with caretaker manager Ryan Mason struggling to stabilize the ship.

Club president Daniel Levy is looking for a new manager following the painful departure of Antonio Conte. Feyenoord head coach Arne Slot has emerged as a potential successor, but the Dutchman recently turned down the north London side as things took a turn for the worse for those donate.
But with stakes higher than ever, Leeds fans went to great lengths to interfere with Tottenham's preparations as they hoped for a much-needed advantage.

EuroFoot posted pictures of fireworks being fired at around 3am:
At 30 o'clock in front of the hotel, the team tried to break the sleep of the players.
This is not the first time fans have used such a tactic, with Liverpool supporters holding their own rally outside the Real Madrid hotel in February when the pair competed in the Round of 16. 16 Champions League teams.
However, Leeds fans will be hoping for a different result than the Reds, who were battered 5-2 by Los Blancos at Anfield as the fireworks display clearly energized Madrid. Fans took to Twitter to react to the video.
