Predictions & Odds for Leicester vs Tottenham
Premier League predictions ahead of Leicester vs Tottenham on Saturday.

Over 2.5 Goals & Both Teams to Score
When these two sides meet, they usually produce goals. Each of the last four encounters in the Premier League between Leicester and Tottenham have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals produced, including that 8-goal thriller between the pair back in September which ended 6-2 in favour of the Londoners. The Foxes' last two league games produced over 2.5 goals and saw both teams score, while Tottenhm's recent away game against Man City ended the very same way.
Kelechi Iheanacho to Score
Iheanacho has never been a prolific goalscorer for Leicester City and he has provided more assists than goals in the Premier League this season. However, the Nigerian international was in top form against Aston Villa last time out, scoring and setting up goals, and we're backing him to score against Spurs in what should be an open, end-to-end 90-minutes at The King Power Stadium.

*all odds provided are the best price at the time of publication and come from various bookmakers and therefore the probabilities won't always add up to 100%.
Tottenham are the clear favourite to win this weekend but we're expecting both teams to create plenty of goalscoring opportunities. If you want to place a bet on a First Goalscorer in Saturday's match then you really can't look any further than Harry Kane at 7/2 (4.50) – 22.2% as he has scored 17 goals in the league this season, 13 of which have been the first goal in games for Tottenham.
How will the teams lineup for this Premier League match?
Leicester
Leicester's game at Villa Park last time out started poorly is their hosts took an early lead. However, Maddison equalised for the Foxes shortly after and even though an own goal from Siuttar put Villa back in front, goals from Iheanacho and Tete saw Leicester lead 3-2 at the interval. There was only one goal in the second half and it came from Praet 11-minutes from time, wrapping up a 4-2 win for the Foxes. Justin and Bertrand have been ruled out of this weekend's clash but Soumare, Pereira, Evans and Ndidi are all nearing their returns from injury.
Predicted Lineup – Ward (GK), Castagne, Faes, Souttar, Kristiansen, Tielemans, Maddison, Dewsbury-Hall, Barnes, Ịheanachọ & Tetê
Tottenham
Spurs welcomed Man City to the Tottenham Hotspur stadium on Sunday where a goal in the 15th-minute from Harry Kane, after good work from Hojbjerg, set the home side on their way to an impressive victory. Romero is suspended this weekend after being sent-off against Man City last time out, while Sarr and Moura are doubts due to injury.
Predicted Lineup – Lloris (GK), Davies, Dier, Sánchez, Emerson, Perišić, Højbjerg, Bentancur, Kulusevski, Son & Kane
Starting Lineups

Player to Watch: Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg
Tottenham's 27-year-old midfielder has played a big part in their season so far, providing both attacking and defending elements.
The Danish international has chipped in with 4-goals and 3-assists in the Premier League this season, providing the pass that set Harry Kane up to score the winner against Man City last weekend.
While Kulusevski and Perisic provide most of the creativity in the team, Hojbjerg does his bit as well, whilst offering defensive cover when needed. We're backing the Danish central midfielder to play an important role in the Leicester game this weekend and believe he will be a player well worth watching at The King Power Stadium.
