Leicester City vs Tottenham Hotspur: Watch English Premier League Online
Ben Davies will be the man dealt the responsibility of nullifying the danger man, though his stats from last season suggest he may be more than capable of doing the job.
Tottenham Hotspur are looking to get their first win of the season when they meet Leicester City in the Premier League this weekend. However, with 6 points and two externally energetic performances, Ranieri has proved them wrong and would look to make it three in a row as his team welcome the Lilywhites from North London.
It should be a close battle between the two teams as the last four matches between Tottenham and Leicester have resulted in two wins for each.
With it being his first season back in the Premier League since his time with Chelsea all those years ago, Ranieri also said he wasn’t nervous he remained very happy about this opportunity and his focus was purely on helping the players to develop more and in turn the club.
Since signing from Stoke, Huth has been a defensive stronghold for the Foxes. We expect a very tough game against Leicester. The Premier League is very long and we need to keep the same level. Foxes recently signed experienced Swiss midfielder Gokhan Inler from Napoli, but it is winger Ryad Mahrez they will look for inspiration (three goals so far and two SofaScore Team of the Week features). They seem to be flying high and Tottenham is the next obstacle on their way. Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino will decide whether to throw new signing Clinton N’Jie straight into the squad. But Inler could provide a weak-spot for Spurs if he plays, as the Leicester midfielder has only a 33% success rate with tackles, meaning that if he commits to a challenge and the nimble-footed Dane dodges him, the hosts would be left vulnerable. I spoke every day with Jon Rudkin (director of football) and he told me “don’t worry, he will arrive” and I say the same to you.
For an hour at least, Tottenham appeared to heading a morale-boosting victory against Stoke City in front of a boisterous crowd at White Hart Lane, only to succumb to a late comeback and be forced to settle for a point.
Newcastle drew their first game 2-2 at home to Southampton and lost their second 2-0 away to Swansea City.
Eric Dier has surprised a lot of fans who initially disapproved of him being placed in midfield.
