Leicester City will be looking to extend their winning streak to three games when they play host to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday at the King Power Stadium. The visitors are still looking for their first win of the season. Tottenham have won 36 of the 78 previous meetings with Leicester City while the Foxes have secured 29 wins. Spurs have won on three of their last five visits at Leicester. The last nine meetings between these two sides have produced a staggering 41 goals, with no clean sheets for either side.
New boss Claudio Ranieri is enjoying a perfect start to his life at Leicester City, with the Foxes securing six points out of six so far and also scoring six goals in the process. Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy have provided the finishing touch in attack, while new signing Shinji Okazaki also managed to get on the score sheet. The two wins extend the brilliant form that Leicester have been enjoying during the second half of last season, only Chelsea managed to escape the King Power unbeaten since the start of April.
With just one point from their first two league matches Spurs will have to do something to steady the ship, the sooner the better. Manager Mauricio Pochettino says they are not panicking yet, but they might start if they get beaten at Leicester. They started the season with a rather unlucky 1-0 defeat at Manchester United but last week they were held to a home draw by Stoke.
Probable line-ups:
Leicester City: Schmeichel - De Laet, Drinkwater, Morgan, Huth - Vardy, King, Albrighton, Schlupp, Okazaki - Mahrez
Tottenham Hotspur: Lloris - Walker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies - Dier, Mason, Chadli, Dembele, Eriksen - Kane
My prediction: 1-1 draw.
Here are the odds for the match at Bet365:
Leicester win - 2.62 Draw - 3.60 Tottenham win - 2.75

Leicester is a big surprise this year. They play very well, they are confident and in this match they were better. They played well but they didn't have luck in few situation and at the end they can be satisfied with one point. Tottenham is still without win, they don't play so bad and they deserved at least one victory......

Another great result for The Foxes in this one and surprisingly or not after three games in the league they are still undefeated. I'm sure that not many people see that coming before the start of the season when there were many scandals in the club and the manager Nigel Pearson was fired just weeks before the season begins....

They deserve all the credit after this great results in a tough situation.

I totally agree with Alexa. Leicester have great start with two wins and winning 6 points. During the summer they signed some good players and that was announcement that they may have great season in front of them.

I totally agree with Alexa. Leicester have great start with two wins and winning 6 points. During the summer they signed some good players and that was announcement that they may have great season in front of them. On the other side, Tottenham had very bad start, they loose from Manchester United with an own goal, and than they've played only 2:2 against Stoke, after they had a 2:0 lead. So it will be interesting match, and I suppose that we will see at least three goals.
