Tottenham Hotspur FC vs Leicester City Match Prediction & Analysis

It's a clash of struggling sides desperate to turn their fortunes around. Tottenham Hotspur, reeling from a dramatic 3-2 loss to Everton, are winless in six and in dire need of a lift. Meanwhile, Leicester City, battling to avoid relegation, are in even deeper trouble, enduring eight games without a win and seven straight defeats. Their latest setback was a 2-0 loss to Fulham. 

Matches between Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur have been known for their high-scoring nature and dramatic outcomes. However, their most recent encounter bucked this trend. Despite this, the Leicester City-Tottenham Hotspur fixture still boasts the highest goals-per-game average among all Premier League fixtures with at least 30 meetings.

Leicester City's current goal drought, with five scoreless matches in their last seven games, presents a significant opportunity for Tottenham Hotspur to capitalize. Given their own defensive vulnerabilities, Spurs might benefit from an aggressive attacking approach to exploit the Foxes' struggles at the other end of the pitch.

Current Standings: Tottenham sit 15th with 24 points from 7 wins, 3 draws, and 12 losses, while Leicester languish in 19th, managing just 3 wins, 5 draws, and 14 defeats. 

Head-to-Head Record: The rivalry between these two teams has been well fought, with Spurs edging ahead in the win-loss record, holding a 16-13 advantage in their 35 encounters. 

TEAMS PREVIEW

Tottenham Hotspur FC Preview

Despite a string of disappointing results, Spurs found a silver lining in their Europa League clash against Hoffenheim. In a thrilling 3-2 victory, they stunned the German side with three first-half goals. Son Heung-min stole the spotlight, delivering a brilliant brace and reminding fans of his class. However, turning back to the Premier League, the picture remains grim for Postecoglou and his Spurs side, with challenges mounting and no quick fixes in sight. 

Tottenham’s Europa League win has offered Ange Postecoglou brief respite, but their Premier League struggles paint a dire picture. A 3-2 loss to Everton marked their third straight league defeat, extending their winless run to six games. Sitting 15th, just eight points above relegation, Spurs have managed only two points from their last six games. With a leaky defence and injuries piling up, Postecoglou faces a daunting battle to salvage their season.

Aside from Son, Dejan Kulusevski has been a standout for Spurs, delivering 17 goal involvements in 34 games this season. The dynamic playmaker remains a key threat and could be pivotal against Leicester, whether by finding the net or crafting a decisive assist.

Team News 

After weeks of injury woes, Spurs finally had some relief with Rodrigo Bentancur and Fraser Forster returning against Hoffenheim. Postecoglou could receive further reinforcements this weekend, as Pape Sarr and Yves Bissouma near their comebacks. Meanwhile, a fresh setback sees striker Dominic Solanke sidelined for six weeks with a knee injury.

Tottenham Hotspur Probable XI - Kinsky (GK) ; Porro, Dragusin, Davies, Spence; Sarr, Bentancur, Maddison; Kulusevski, Richarlison, Son

Leicester City Preview

Just three days after a painful 2-0 loss to Crystal Palace, Ruud van Nistelrooy's Leicester were sunk by the same scoreline against Fulham. With only relegation-bound Southampton below them, the Foxes cling to a glimmer of hope, just two points off safety. And with Ipswich Town and Wolves set to face Liverpool and Arsenal, Leicester could leap up the table—if they can pull off a win over Tottenham on Sunday. The pressure's on, but the opportunity is there.

When these two sides met last time, Jamie Vardy's clinical strike was the difference between victory and defeat. Once again, the veteran forward will need to deliver something special. With six goals on an expected 7.3 this season, plus three assists, Vardy remains crucial. The Foxes desperately need him—especially considering they've failed to score in five of their nine matches under Nistelrooy.

Team News 

Leicester's injury woes aren't as severe, but they still miss Abdul Fatawu (knee), Wilfred Ndidi (thigh), and Ricardo Pereira (thigh), with Mads Hermansen's groin problem unlikely to resolve in time. On the plus side, new signing Woyo Coulibaly is set to make his Premier League debut this weekend.

Leicester City Probable XI - Stolarczyk (GK) ; Justin, Faes, Vestergaard, Kristiansen; Skipp, Soumare; McAteer, El Khannouss, Mavididi; Vardy
