Tottenham Hotspur vs Leicester City

English Premier League, KO: 17:30 Sep 17, 2022, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR will be looking to continue their unbeaten start to the 2022/23 Premier League season when they entertain Leicester City on Saturday evening.

Antonio Conte’s appointment undoubtedly turned Spurs' season around last term and the signs continue to be promising across the opening stretch of the new campaign.

Having picked up four wins from their first six league games, the capital club are lying third in the table and just one point off top spot.

That being said, Spurs slumped to a 2-0 defeat in the Champions League at Sporting Lisbon on Tuesday, so Conte will demand an immediate response from his team when Leicester come to town.

The Foxes were left rooted to the foot of the Premier League standings following a 5-2 thumping at Brighton a fortnight ago, on an afternoon where I delivered a south coast clean sweep.

That bruising setback has increased the pressure on Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers and his struggling side may have to wait a little longer for a maiden league win of the season given the task in hand at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday.

Outright Betting

Tottenham Hotspur boast a 100% home record in the Premier League this season and they are heavily fancied to extend that sequence on Saturday evening, with a Spurs success a short-priced 9/20 (Bet 365).

Leicester have lost their last five league games and the bookmakers' odds suggest that trend will continue, with the King Power club 6/1 () underdogs while the draw is an unfancied 18/5 (SBK).

Betting Angles

Leicester's wretched start to the season can be attributed to the fact that they continue to leak goals at an alarming rate and that doesn't bode well ahead of a trip to to-heavy Tottenham.

As such, I'm more than happy to take Tottenham talisman Harry Kane to get on the scoresheet on Saturday evening at 10/11 with Bet 365.

The Spurs sharpshooter has scored in four of his last five Premier League matches, so he will be licking his lips about the prospect of going up against what is a brittle Leicester backline.

The Foxes have filed just seven clean sheets across their last 44 top-flight fixtures, shipping at least one goal in all but one of their last 22 Premier League games away from the King Power.

It's also worth pointing out that the aforementioned Kane has been the scourge of Leicester in recent years, netting 19 times in 18 games against the Foxes, including both meetings last season.

With all this in mind, backing the England skipper to notch at a shade under even-money on Saturday evening makes plenty of appeal.

Given that Tottenham appear to have developed a nasty streak under Antonio Conte's stewardship, I'll also back the capital club to collect over one card during this contest at 10/11 with Bet 365.

Spurs have been shown a minimum of two cards in four of their six Premier League games this season so far and they won't hesitate to deploy the dark arts here against a Leicester side stacked with attacking talent.
