Premier League preview and odds: Tottenham Hotspur vs Leicester City

October 29, 2016 12:30pm - White Hart Lane

Premier League

Tottenham Hotspur will look to maintain their status as the Premier League`s only undefeated team when they welcome reigning Premier League champions Leicester City to White Hart Lane on Saturday afternoon.

Spurs proving tough to beat once again

With nine games played, Tottenham Hotspur remain the only team yet to be beaten in the league. However, a tally of four draws has left the North London side one point adrift of the league leaders in fifth place.

Mauricio Pochettino`s men come into this game on the back of consecutive draws away to AFC Bournemouth and West Bromwich Albion. While at home, they have won their last two (against Sunderland and Manchester City) without conceding a goal.

In total, Tottenham are undefeated in 9 matches this term and 78% of their games have produced under 2.5 goals. They have scored in every home match this season but have conceded just once.

Meanwhile, opponents Leicester have struggled on the road during the start of the current campaign and will seek to rectify that issue this weekend. The Foxes have lost all four of their away games and have conceded a total of 13 goals on the road. This is in stark contrast to their form at home where they have remained unbeaten in over a year.

Claudio Ranieri`s side have been in the unfamiliar position of having the balance their league campaign with a Champions League schedule. However, they have been successful in Europe, winning all three of their group games without dropping a goal.

So far this term, 78% of Leicester City`s matches have produced over 2.5 goals and they have conceded at least once in all of their away matches.

Team news

The home side will continue without star striker Harry Kane, who is still out with an ankle issue, and Toby Alderweireld who has a knee problem.

Meanwhile, the visitors will continue without Nampalys Mendy, while Andy King and Matthew James could both be available.

Betting odds and tips

Tottenham drew their last two Premier League matches either side of a Champions League draw away to Bayer Leverkusen. They followed that up with a League Cup defeat to Liverpool leaving them four games without a win in all competitions.

Meanwhile, Leicester have been in good form in all areas apart from away from home in the league. They have lost just one of their last five in all competitions and seem to be improving each week.

As a result, a draw could be on the cards this weekend.
