Tottenham Hotspur vs Leicester: Prediction
Just one of Spurs’ previous six games has involved three or more goals. Disregarding their loss against Brighton, the Foxes’ previous five games have involved just seven goals. Hence, expect a low scoring fixture.
The hosts are clear favourites for this fixture. Furthermore, the visitors have failed to score in the 1st half in all but one of their fixtures. Hence, expect Tottenham to lead at the end of both halves.

Pre match press conference
Antonio Conte: “When you play against Leicester…and Leicester I think in England they became a good team, a difficult team to play. Don’t forget that they won a Premier League with Claudio Ranieri. They won an FA Cup, maybe two years ago, three years ago. They won the Community Shield against Manchester City. We are talking about a club that in the last seven years they won. They won something in England. It means that we are talking about a really good club, a really good squad, a good manager and with great ambition. That’s it.”
Brendan Rodgers: “The circumstances have been difficult this summer but it is a challenge and I want to show that grit and strength that have given me the career I have had.
“I needed that because I wasn’t a top player. We are in a situation where it is not ideal but it is still very early and football changes quickly as you know.”
