Leicester City vs Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League Preview and Odds

December 08, 2018 19:45pm - King Power Stadium

Premier League

Leicester City will look to extend their unbeaten run to seven games when they host a Tottenham Hotspur side desperate to stay in touch with the Premier League leaders.

The Foxes haven`t lost a Premier League match since the defeat to Arsenal in October having won two and drawn four of the six matches since. As a result, they are just a point off sixth place and well-placed in the battle for the best of the rest honours.

On home soil, Claude Puel`s men have only been beaten by the two Merseyside teams and are unbeaten in their last three, the most recent of which was a 2-0 win over mid-table rivals Watford. A win here could lift them into sixth depending on other results.

Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur may have to win every remaining game if they are to stand any chance of lifting the Premier League crown. They start the day eight points adrift of the leaders having already lost four games this season. Their main objective now will be to maintain their place in the top four. They could drop to sixth if they lose on Saturday night and other result dont go their way.

Mauricio Pochettinos men fell 4-2 at Arsenal in their last away game but bounced backed to sink Southampton 3-1 at Wembley. They remain the only Premier League club notto have drawn a game this term.

Betting odds and tips

Leicester`s two previous games against top six opponents both ended in defeat and the same outcome can be expected here. Spurs have yet to draw a game and have won seven out of the nine away games they have played.

You can back Tottenham to Win at Evens.
