Why you should back Tottenham
Tottenham won four consecutive meetings with Leicester City prior to their road defeat in February 2023, outscoring the Foxes 16-7 in the victories. South Korean forward Son Heung-Min, who led Spurs with 17 goals last season, has nine goals and four assists in 14 matches against Leicester. In Tottenham’s last two wins versus the Foxes, the 32-year-old registered a brace and a hat trick.
Uruguayan midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur also performed well against Leicester in 2022-23, converting in Spurs’ 6-2 home victory and netting the lone goal in the 4-1 road loss. The club hopes to unveil another offensive weapon on Monday in Dominic Solanke, who was signed to a six-year contract earlier this month. The 26-year-old striker was tied for fourth in the Premier League with 19 goals last season, his sixth with Bournemouth. See which team to pick here.
Why you should back Leicester City
The Foxes are eager to make a good first impression in their return to the EPL, with new manager Steve Cooper hoping to do the same. The 44-year-old from Wales takes over from Enzo Maresca, who accepted the same position with Chelsea, following a head-coaching stint with Nottingham Forest from 2021-23. Striker Jamie Vardy led Leicester City with 18 goals last season but is sidelined with an undisclosed injury, leaving winger Stephy Mavididi as the club’s top offensive threat.
The 26-year-old Mavididi set a career-high with 12 goals for the Foxes in 2023-24, matching his total from the previous two campaigns while with Montpellier of France’s Ligue 1. Another player capable of contributing is Issahaku Fatawu, who converted six times last season, his first with Leicester. The 20-year-old Ghanaian winger also proved to be a strong set-up man, as he tied for fourth place in the EFL Championship with 13 assists. See which team to pick here.
