Leicester vs Tottenham Match Preview

There will be fireworks when Leicester City and Tottenham lock horns at King Power Stadium in the closing match of the Premier League round 1. The newcomers are eager to impress on their return to the English top flight, but they will have a big fish to fry against Spurs. Veteran Jamie Vardy is still part of the team. While new signings Caleb Okoli (centre-back) and Issahaku Fatawu (right winger) should make their Premier League debuts in Monday’s clash.

The capital club, on the other hand, suffered a 3-2 loss to Bayern Munich in their last warm-up game. Tottenham chiefs, though, did well to sign Bournemouth top scorer Dominic Solanke earlier this summer, which is probably the main reason why away win should be considered. Right-back Emerson Royal has joined Serie A side AC Milan for a fee of €15.00m. While defensive midfielder Pierre-Emile Højbjerg has signed a loan deal with Olympique Marseille.

How the bookies view it: Spurs to go marching to win

Leicester City are big outsiders at 17/4 (188JILI) to mark their return to the Premier League with a victory. While a point apiece at the King Power is also considered unlikely at 10/3 (William Hill).

Tottenham are odds-on 3/5 favourites on WJPESO to bank their first three Premier League points of the season at the first attempt on Monday night.

Head to head: Tottenham tend to triumph

Tottenham Hotspur have come out on top in nine of their last 13 Premier League meetings with Leicester City.

However, it’s worth noting that Spurs were crushed 4-1 when they last visited the King Power back in February 2023, with a certain James Madison among the Foxes goalscorers.

Players to watch: Solanke to strike?

After scoring 19 goals for Bournemouth in the Premier League last season. Dominic Solanke will be desperate to make an instant impact when making his Tottenham debut on Monday night. The new Spurs striker is an appealing 6/4 (JILIHOT) to fire against the Foxes.

Former Spurs man Harry Winks is likely to be in the thick of the midfield battle. And he could be worth considering for a card at 3/1 (188JILI).

Predicted line-ups

Having joined the club on a free transfer from Fulham over the summer. Bobby Decordova-Reid is expected to be handed his competitive debut for Leicester on Monday night.

Both Destiny Udogie and Richarlison look set to start the season on the treatment table for Tottenham. However big money signing Dominic Solanke could get the nod at the King Power.

Leicester: Hermansen; Justin, Vestergaard, Faes, Kristiansen; Winks, Ndidi; De Cordova-Reid, Fatawu, Mavididi; Daka.

Tottenham: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Davies; Sarr, Gray, Maddison; Kulusevski, Solanke, Son.

Leicester vs Tottenham Prediction

Leicester have not been pulling up any trees this summer. They will obviously need some time to adjust to life in the elite tier of English football.

This is the money game for Tottenham who have also gotten off to a strong start to the last season under Ange Postecoglou.

The visitors will be stronger for Dominic Solanke who has just joined them in a massive deal from Bournemouth.

Big Dom was one of the top scorers in the previous term of the Premier League with 19 goals to his name.

He should have plenty of room to deliver past the leaky Leicester defence and we can easily see the Englishman thriving on Monday.

Our main pick is Tottenham to have the lead at the half time and win the game at the end at the 2.50 odds while you can get these same odds for Dominic Solanke to score anytime.
