Premier League Prediction Leicester vs Thottenham Hotspur

The Premier League Prediction Leicester vs Thottenham Hotspur is online with back to back matches on this weekend as Leicester City horns with Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur side in an Important match at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.

Leicester City are in 14th place in the league points table at the moment and have not been at their best this season. The Foxes defeated Aston Villa by a convincing 4-2 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.

With two wins and a draw to boast from their last three contests in all tournaments, things are suddenly looking up for Rodger’s club, whose newfound taste for goals has propelled them up to 14th in the table and three points clear of the relegation zone.

There is certainly still some work to do for Leicester to put their demotion fears to bed once and for all, but Rodgers’s side are undoubtedly heading in the right direction – six goals in two top-flight fixtures with Villa and Brighton & Hove Albion is evidence of that.

However, Leicester have taken just one point from their last 12 on offer at the King Power Stadium – failing to score in three before putting two past Brighton – but Spurs’ well-drilled defence will fear no attack after keeping the Premier League champions at bay.

Leicester City have kept only one clean sheet in their last 16 home games against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, with the previous occasion coming in a 3-0 victory in 1997.

Since Leicester City’s return to the Premier League in 2014, matches between these two teams have produced 71 goals – more than any other fixture during this period.

Leicester City picked up their first victory since the World Cup break against Aston Villa and scored more goals against them than they had managed in their five previous games.

Thottenham Hotspur’s Strike over Premier League

Tottenham Hotspur are currently in fifth place in the Premier League standings and showing off very well packed performance over the league. They shocked Manchester City with a 1-0 victory last week.

Jimmy Greaves is no longer around to see his long-standing Tottenham goalscoring record be broken, but his family affirmed that the Lilywhites’ second-highest scorer of all time would have been delighted to see his tally of 266 strikes surpassed by Harry Kane.

Led by Cristian Stellini as Antonio Conte recovered from gallbladder surgery in his native Italy, Tottenham put on a defensive display that would have left the latter beaming with pride, and he is now back at Hotspur Way and expected to return to the dugout at the King Power Stadium.

Tottenham Hotspur have a good historical record against Leicester City and have won 61 out of the 119 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Leicester City’s 37 victories.

Scoring 12 goals in their last five Premier League away games is also a recipe for success for Tottenham, who thumped Leicester 6-2 in North London five months ago thanks to a 13-minute Son Heung-min hat-trick, while forgotten man Steven Bergwijn was the last-minute hero in a dramatic 3-2 win at the King Power last term.

Tottenham Hotspur have won their last four matches against Leicester City in the Premier League – their longest winning run in the Foxes in the history of the competition.

Clearly not learning their lessons from January’s match at the Etihad, Man City – who did manage to win that game 4-2 – were punished for errors at the back at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg intercepted a pass and set up Kane for his 267th Spurs goal on the 15-minute mark, and City could not respond in a match that delighted Arsenal fans as much as it did their bitter rivals.

Three points for the fifth-placed Lilywhites will see them break into the Champions League places above Newcastle United – who are involved in Saturday’s evening kickoff at Bournemouth – and Conte returns to a Tottenham side who have three successive wins and three successive clean sheets to boast in all tournaments.
