Tottenham remains winless in EPL as Spurs draw Leicester City

In their last nine meetings, no side managed to keep a clean sheet.

Mauricio Pochettino will be concerned over his team’s disastrous start to the campaign, having taken only a solitary point from their opening exchanges.

Leicester’s Marc Albrighton, right, and Tottenham’s Mousa…

“This is now my focus and concern for the next week, to try to improve – to compete much better than today and than in the last game against Stoke City”. The side seemingly dropping their collective heads after Kyle Walker unluckily found the back of his own net. Indeed, when the referee ordered drinks breaks midway through each half due to the intense heat, there were mutterings that the players seemed in need of some sort of legal stimulus.

“Tottenham have qualified for Europe five times in the last six seasons”.

Tottenham, on the other hand, will look to dominate possession. Spurs will prove to be a stern test pushing Leicester all the way.

Leicester will be without without Matty James (knee), while Andros Townsend (ankle) is a doubt for Spurs. Aussie goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer will also be unavailable, suffering from illness.

The former Aston Villa man already has a goal and three assists from his opening two games and he fired wide from inside the area.

This term’s 100% record owes much to a solid defence, featuring man mountains Robert Huth and Wes Morgan, and a team not afraid to roll up its sleeves and work hard, epitomised by Jamie Vardy.

Irrespective of his position, Mahrez will be expected to stand up and deliver against Spurs and a win will in all probability set tone for the Foxes’ dreamy European ambitions. Expect Danny Rose to push for a starting berth as he continues to regain full fitness from a quad strain suffered recently.

Clinton N’Jie has arrived from Lyon and he could figure if Tottenham receive global clearance in time.

81′ GOAL! Leicester 0-1 Tottenham: Dele Alli scores for Spurs!

The Italian has guided Leicester to wins over a dismal Sunderland side and then against West Ham at Upton Park on Saturday. Spurs emerged victorious on both topflight encounters while the Foxes won in a fourth-round clash of FA Cup.

This will be an exciting game, in which goals are nearly a certainty. Ranieri is most likely to go with a 4-4-2 formation.

Leicester are 2-0 up thanks to some vintage footballing ability displayed by Mahrez thus sending the home fans in raptures.
