Leicester City vs Tottenham Hotspur

Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur are set to face each other at the King Power Stadium in a high-stakes Premier League encounter.

After picking up just one point in their first five post-World Cup Premier League fixtures (D1, L4), Leicester City returned to winning ways last weekend with a thumping 4-2 victory at Aston Villa. Those four goals at Villa Park eclipsed Leicester’s tally of three in their first five league outings after a mid-season break. However, there’s no room for complacency as they start this round only three points clear of the relegation zone. Adding to this sentiment, Brendan Rodgers’ men have lost their last four Premier League duels against Tottenham, conceding at least three goals on each occasion at an average of four per game. By extension, the ‘Foxes’ have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last 13 home meetings with ‘Spurs’ in the Premier League.

As for Tottenham Hotspur, after suffering back-to-back two-goal margin defeats to Arsenal and Manchester City, they’ve posted consecutive 1-0 league wins over Fulham and Man City to reignite their top-four hopes. With only one point separating them from fourth-placed Newcastle United ahead of the kick-off, ‘Spurs’ will be out to register three straight clean sheets in the top flight for the first time this season, having conceded 21 goals in ten previous Premier League outings. But after falling behind first on their last two league trips to Leicester, Antonio Conte’s side cannot take anything for granted. Conte will put his side’s fate in the hands of Harry Kane, who has tallied 18 goals in 15 Premier League appearances against Leicester.
