Tottenham Hotspur vs Leicester City
English Premier League, KO: 14:00 Jan 26, 2025, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Tottenham Hotspur will be targeting a much-needed victory in the Premier League when they play host to Leicester City on Sunday afternoon.
Ange Postecoglou’s side have tumbled down to 15th place in the top-flight standings following a run of six games without a victory.
However, the Spurs boss did ease the pressure that has been mounting on his shoulders with a 3-2 win away at Hoffenheim in the Europa League on Thursday evening.
The Tottenham chief will be hoping that victory can act as a springboard for further success when Leicester come to town this weekend.
The Foxes’ relegation fears have heightened following a 2-0 defeat at home to Fulham last weekend.
That latest body blow means Ruud van Nistelrooy’s 19th-placed side have now lost each of their last seven Premier League matches.
How the bookies view it: Spurs to march to win
Despite failing to win each of their last six Premier League matches, Tottenham are heavy 4/9 favourites on Boylesports.
Leicester City arrive in the capital as lofty 4/1 underdogs on Boylesports, while the draw is also considered unlikely at 15/4 with the same firm.
Head to head: Tottenham tend to triumph
Tottenham have taken top honours from 10 of the last 16 Premier League meetings between the pair, including each of the last two at this venue. However, it is worth noting that the two teams played out a 1-1 draw during the opening weekend of the campaign.
Players to watch: Dejan to do damage?
Dejan Kulusevski has been one of Spurs’ standout performers this season. With 17 goal involvements across his 34 appearances in all competitions this season, the classy playmaker looks well placed to either score or to provide an assist against Leicester on Sunday at 19/20 (UniBet).
Jamie Vardy notched for Leicester during August’s reverse fixture. The Foxes captain is as big as 2/1 on Boylesports for an anytime strike at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Predicted line-ups
A lengthy injury list means Tottenham could be without as many as 10 players on Sunday. However, Spurs boss Postecoglou will be able to welcome back Antonin Kinsky, Djed Spence and Sergio Reguilon, all of whom were ineligible in the Europa League on Thursday evening.
Leicester again look set to be without injured trio Abdul Fatawu, Ricardo Pereira and Wilfred Ndidi, however new recruit Woyo Coulibaly could be in line to make his debut.
Tottenham: Kinsky; Pedro Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Spence; Bergvall, Sarr, Maddison; Kulusevski, Solanke, Son
Leicester: Stolarczyk; Justin, Faes, Vestergaard, Kristiansen; Winks, Soumare; Ayew, Buonanotte, McAteer; Vardy
Anything else catch the eye?
With Tottenham too short to side with at the above-mentioned price, I'll instead partner up a home win alongside over 2.5 goals at 5/6 on Boylesports.
This bet would have proven profitable in each of Spurs' seven Premier League victories this term to date.
Furthermore, this would have also been the correct selection in a sizable 11 of Leicester 14 top-flight losses this season so far.
