Tottenham v Leicester

Tottenham vs Leicester Preview

Tottenham slumped to a fifth defeat in six games in the Premier League last weekend when they were dealt a 3-2 loss away from home at Everton and although the north London side staged a two-goal comeback, it was not enough to prevent yet another disappointing defeat.

Leicester City suffered a seventh league defeat on the trot in the English top flight when the east midlands club stumbled to a 2-0 loss at home to Fulham which has left The Foxes sitting second from bottom in the Premier League table amidst rumours that manager, Ruud van Nistelrooij is contemplating his resignation after promises of January transfers have not come to fruition.

Recent defeats to Liverpool, Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United, Arsenal and Everton respectively have resulted in Tottenham dropping down to an alarming 15th place in the table but at least the hosts possess an eight-point cushion above the relegation zone.

A loss at home to relegation threatened Leicester City would surely place Ange Postecoglou's position at the club in grave danger and given Spurs' poor results beforehand, the goals market looks the safest option here especially as Tottenham have conceded in each of their last six games in the top flight.

Leicester City remain sitting in the relegation zone after being handed a seventh loss on the trot and The Foxes look totally out of ideas as to how to halt this alarming decline in form.

Manager Ruud van Nistelrooij arrived at the King Power Stadium having overseen some encouraging results as caretaker-manager at Manchester United but the Dutchman has been unable to produce the same sparkle for The Foxes thus far.

The east midlands club have now managed to pick up just the single win from their previous 14 matches overall in the English top flight which came in the form of a 3-1 home win against West Ham but also includes sliding to no fewer than 11 defeats in the process.

Results away from home have been even worse as Leicester City have registered just one win from their previous 18 outings on the road which includes 12 defeats along the way, so The Foxes look to have a mountain to climb even against a struggling Tottenham side who have also found league wins difficult to come by.

Goals for both teams also looks likely from Leicester City's point of view as no fewer than eight out of their last 10 away games have resulted in both teams hitting the back of the net.
