Premier League: Leicester vs Tottenham preview

Premier League: Leicester vs Tottenham preview
Tottenham are looking to bounce back after last weekend's draw with West Brom when they travel to the King Power Stadium to face Leicester City on Tuesday. Last season the Spurs grabbed a spectacular 6-1 victory at the Foxes after being held to a 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane in the reverse fixture. Overall, Tottenham have won three of the last six direct meetings in the Premier Leagues, while Leicester have not beaten Tottenham at home in the Premier League since 2002. Leicester have not won any of their last three Premier League matches, last week they recorded a 1-1 draw at struggling West Ham United. They are currently 12th in the Premier League table, just four points above the relegation zone, so if they keep failing to record victories they might find themselves drawn towards the bottom of the table before too long. Matty James and Robert Huth remain sidelined with injuries, so manager Claud Puel will probably field the same eleven that played at West Ham on Friday. Tottenham are in a bit of a slump in the Premier League, first they lost the North London Derby 2-0 at Arsenal and last weekend they got held to a 1-1 draw by West Bromwich Albion at Wembley Stadium. They nearly lost that match, but Harry Kane stepped up and scored the equalizer with 16 minutes left on the clock. The Spurs dropped to fifth place and they are now a whole thirteen points behind leaders Manchester City. Victor Wanyama and Toby Alderweireld are the only injury concerns for manager Mauricio Pochettino. Probable line-ups: Leicester: Schmeichel - Simpson, Morgan, Maguire, Fuchs - Albrighton, Ndidi, Iborra, Gray - Mahrez - Vardy Tottenham: Lloris - Sanchez, Dier, Vertonghen - Aurier, Alli, Winks, Dembele, Rose - Eriksen - Kane My prediction: 2-2 draw. Here are the odds for the match at Bet365: Leicester win - 5.00 Draw - 3.89 Tottenham win - 1.75
