This Sunday, Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City, two Premier League sides struggling for form, battle at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs are aiming to escape relegation fears, while Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Leicester fight to climb out of the drop zone.
Tottenham Hotspur: Injury Woes and Recent Form
Despite their poor Premier League run, Spurs have thrived in knockout football, securing a Europa League win over Hoffenheim on Thursday. However, with a squad plagued by injuries, including Dominic Solanke, Cristian Romero, and Destiny Udogie, Postecoglou faces challenges setting up his starting XI. A 3-0 loss to Everton last weekend highlights their league struggles. Can Son Heung-min's brilliance inspire a much-needed victory?
Leicester City: Fighting to Stay Afloat
Leicester’s fortunes haven’t fared better. With seven consecutive league losses and no clean sheets on the road this season, the Foxes are desperate for a turnaround. Key players like Wilfred Ndidi and Ricardo Pereira remain sidelined, leaving van Nistelrooy with limited options. A 2-0 loss to Fulham last weekend underlined their defensive frailties.
Predicted Lineups
- Tottenham Hotspur: Kinsky; Porro, Gray, Dragusin, Davies; Sarr, Bentancur, Maddison; Kulusevski, Richarlison, Son
- Leicester City: Stolarczyk; Justin, Faes, Vestergaard, Kristiansen; Skipp, Soumare; McAteer, El Khannouss, Mavididi; Vardy
Prediction: Spurs to Dominate
Leicester's defensive struggles and Tottenham’s attacking potential suggest a comfortable win for the hosts. Expect goals from Son Heung-min and Richarlison. Prediction: Tottenham 3-0 Leicester City.
