Leicester City vs Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League Preview and Odds

September 21, 2019 12:30pm - King Power Stadium (Leicester)

Premier League

Leicester City will look to bounce back from their first defeat of the season when they host fourth-ranked Tottenham Hotspur at the King Power Stadium on Saturday lunchtime.

The Foxes dropped out of the top four following their 1-0 defeat to Manchester United but can take temporary charge of second place with a win against the team from London. Brendan Rodgers` men are unbeaten at home having drawn against Wolverhampton Wanderers and beaten high-flying AFC Bournemouth.

The East Midlands side have impressed in their opening games and are already being talked about as contenders for European places. A win against Tottenham Hotspur would strengthen those credentials while a defeat could see their expectations lowered slightly.

Spurs are level on points with Leicester following a stuttering start to the season which has produced two wins, two draws and a humbling defeat at home to Newcastle United. Mauricio Pochettino`s men have lost six and drawn two of their last eight Premier League away games. Both of those stalemates came this season via 2-2 scorelines at Manchester City and Arsenal.

The North Londoners arrive in Leicester on the back of yet another 2-2 draw, this time away to Olympiakos in the group stages of the Champions League.

Betting odds and tips

Spurs have recorded three-straight 2-2 draws away from home in all competitions so don`t rule out another four-goal thriller here. Either way, the draw could be a good bet as Leicester look fully capable of going toe-to-toe with last season`s Champions League finalists who have been far from their best in recent weeks.

You can back a Correct Score of 2-2 at 12/1 or the Draw at 5/2.
