Leicester City vs Tottenham Hotspur Preview

Leicester City vs Tottenham Hotspur

Competition – Barclays Premier League

Stadium – King Power Stadium

Date: 28th November 2017

Kick-off time – 19:45 GMT

Leicester City have not improved  much since Claude Puel took over and their last match against West Ham was a show of how lackluster they can be as they really did not create much in the way of chances but managed to get one point after 90 minutes.

They face a Spurs side who were also held by managerless West Brom on Saturday and both of these sides will be playing for all three points.

The Foxes have now gone three games without a win, although they have just one loss from their last eight in all competitions.

They are currently 11th in the league table, four points above the relegation zone.

Before the end of 2017, they have some tough games including Watford and Liverpool away followed by Manchester United and Burnley at home.

They have just one win from their last six meetings against Tottenham.

Tottenham have their problems with inconsistencies especially at home.

They failed to follow up a stunning comeback win at Borussia Dortmund with another win at the weekend as West Brom held them to a draw.

However, despite losing at Arsenal and Manchester United, away from home they have been better as they have won 4 of six games, scoring 12 goals in the process.

Spurs will also be confident ahead of this game as all of Leicester’s losses this season have been against the top 6 sides.
