Leicester City Vs Tottenham Hotspur Preview, Predicted Lineups, Key Players And Odds

Tottenham Hotspur travel to the King Power Stadium to entertain Leicester City what could be a very intriguing encounter. Spurs have had an excellent domestic season and they were the only team to have given Chelsea a dose of their own medicine. The North Londoners will be trying to end the season on a high note as they will travel to Hull City next to bid adieu this season.

Leicester City have picked their form of late and need to secure three points to grab a spot among the top ten places. The Foxes have seen a more than average campaign this term where the only positive thing was their run till the quarters of the Uefa Champions League. Leicester have won their all five home fixtures under the guidance of Craig Shakespeare but with the current form, Spurs have a little bit of upper hand in this match. The North London side would need another three points to record their highest points tally in the Premier League.

Team News And Predicted Lineups

Tottenham Hotspur Danny Rose has gone under the knife to have a surgery on his knee and he is a long-term absentee. Kyle walker hasn’t started in the last few matches and we might see him in action. Mousa Sissoko’s situation is very confusing and from the last two games, we could get a clear vision whether he is staying or not. He is slated for a start.

Vorm; Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Trippier, Davies; Wanyama, Dembele, Eriksen, Alli, Sissoko; Kane.

Leicester City

Robert Huth is touch and go with a foot injury and he might get fit before the game. Wes Morgan continues to recover from his injury and he might have played his last game for the Foxes.

Schmeichel; Simpson, Benalouane, Huth, Fuchs; Mahrez, King, Ndidi, Albrighton; Okazaki, Vardy.

Key Players

Dele Alli

Alli’s role will be very crucial in this match as Pochettino would pick him up to deliver a hammer blow to the Foxes. The England international has gone strength to strength and he is tipped to be the next big thing in European football. The midfielder will once again flex his muscle and the Foxes’ defenders need to be wary of his threat.

Leicester City

Riyad Mahrez

The Algerian player is one of the key reason behind their late revival. He somehow found his form of last season and will be looking to do some damage to the Spurs ranks.

Odds

Leicester City- 10/3

Draw- 11/4

Tottenham Hotspur- 10/11
