Tottenham v Leicester: central match of the round

Tottenham v Leicester: central match of the round

After such a convincing victory of “Leicester” over “Sheffield United” we don't know what to expect now from the “Foxes”. Brendan Rogers' team is capable of both pleasant surprise and disappointment. However, the same statement applies to the current “Tottenham”

Tottenham

Despite the good game form, Tottenham pretends no longer to get into the Champions League. Spurs are seven points behind Manchester United and Leicester in seventh place. Jose Mourinho failed to achieve his goal. Nevertheless, Tottenham have played well in the last four meetings. Spurs beat Newcastle (3-1), Everton (1-0) and Arsenal (2-1) and also tied with Bournemouth (0-0).

With representatives of the top six, Tottenham was at first extremely losing at home with Jose Mourinho. Spurs lost to Chelsea (0-2) and Liverpool (0-1), but then Tottenham beat Manchester City (2: 0), drew with Manchester United (1: 1) and now won with Arsenal (2: 1).

Juan Foyt and Tanguy Ndombele were injured at Tottenham. Eric Dyer is disqualified for this match. The involvement of Delle Alli and Lucas Moura is questionable.

Leicester

Leicester's entry into the Champions League back in January seemed to have been decided. The Foxes were ahead of their closest pursuers by a whole abyss, fighting with Manchester City for the second line. However, the Citizens were removed from the Champions League ban this week and Leicester's constant losses saw the Foxes catching up with Chelsea and Manchester United.

Brendan Rogers' team has all chances to be eliminated from the top four, despite the amazing play in the first round. In any case, everything will be decided in the final home game against Manchester United. But the result of the meeting with Tottenham affects the position from which Leicester will approach the last round. Perhaps the "Foxes" will only be satisfied with a victory, but perhaps a draw will be enough for them.

Leicester is not playing well with the representatives of the top six. The Foxes lost to Liverpool 1: 2, Manchester City - 1: 3, Manchester United - 0: 1, and with Arsenal and Chelsea they were separated by the world 1: 1.

There are plenty of losses at Leicester, especially in the defensive line. Christian Fuchs, Ben Chilwell, Ricardo Perreira, Chaglar Seyuncu and James Maddison are not available to Brendan Rogers for this match. Mark Albrighton's participation is in question.
