Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur will face each other in the Premier League this coming weekend. The match between the Foxes and Spurs will be held at the King Power Stadium and is scheduled to kick off at 3pm UK time on Saturday.

Leicester City

Leicester City are not having the best of times in the Premier League at the moment and remain in danger of getting relegated to the Championship at the end of the season. However, things are beginning to get better for the former English champions, and the fans will now be optimistic that the team will retain their top-flight status for next season.

Brendan Rodgers’s side are 14th in the Premier League table at the moment with 21 points from 21 matches. Leicester are three points above the bottom three and still cannot get complacent about their survival. However, that the Foxes are above the likes of Everton, Leeds United, West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers in the standings will encourage them.

Leicester will head into the Premier League match against Tottenham at the King Power Stadium this coming weekend on the back of 4-2 victory over Aston Villa away from home at Villa Park in the league. It came after a 1-0 victory over Walsall away from home in the fourth round of he FA Cup and followed a 2-2 draw with Brighton and Hove Albion at the King Power Stadium in the Premier League.

Team News:

Leicester City are likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation. James Maddison will continue to be the creator-in-chief for the Foxes. Youri Tielemans will be one of the two midfield-enforcers.

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur are doing well at the moment and are very much in contention of a top-four finish in the Premier League table this season. True, Spurs are not playing as well as their bitter North London rivals Arsenal, who could end up winning the title this campaign this campaign, but Antonio Conte’s side are very much on course to achieving their main objective, which is to qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season.

Spurs are fifth in the Premier League table at the moment with 39 points from 22 matches. Conte’s side are only a point behind Newcastle United, who are currently fourth in the standings and occupy the final UEFA Champions League spot. Eddie Howe’s side have played 21 game.

Tottenham will head into the Premier League game against Leicester City away from home at the King Power Stadium on the back of a 1-0 win against defending champions Manchester City at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the league. It followed a 3-0 win against Preston North End away from home in the fourth round of the FA Cup and followed a 1-0 win against Fulham at Craven Cottage in the London derby.

Team News:

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Antonio Conte is unlikely to make too many changes to the team that won against Manchester City. Emerson Royal should start at right wing-back given his excellent performance against City. Harry Kane will lead the line for Spurs. Cristian Romero was sent off against City, which means that Davinson Sanchez could take his place in the starting lineup against Leicester.

Key Factors to Consider

• Leicester City have scored 32 goals in 21 Premier League matches.
• Tottenham Hotspur have conceded 31 goals in 22 Premier League games.
• Tottenham Hotspur have scored 41 goals in 22 Premier League matches.
• Harry Kane has scored 17 goals in 22 Premier League games.
• James Maddison has scored 8 goals and given 4 assists in 15 Premier League matches.

Conclusion

Leicester City are unbeaten in their last three competitive matches and will fancy their chances of picking up all three points from the Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur this coming weekend. Moreover, the game will be played at the King Power Stadium, which means that the Foxes will have home advantage. However, Tottenham are a better team, and with Harry Kane in top form, it is hard to see Antonio Conte’s side drop all three points at Leicester. It is very likely that Spurs will eke out a narrow win.
