Match Preview
Tottenham’s European aspirations look brighter after a win in the Europa League on Thursday, but their domestic form still raises serious questions. Spurs come into this round after losing each of their last three matches, which leaves them just eight points clear of the relegation places. Their latest defeat was suffered on the road at Everton last Sunday.
The pressure is also increasing on Ruud van Nistelrooy, as the honeymoon period is already over for the Dutchman at the King Power Stadium. Leciester have suffered defeats in each of their last six matches, and they are now two points adrift of safety in the league standings.

Tottenham’s record in this fixture is a huge trend to consider. Spurs have won five of their last six home matches against Leicester, scoring at least three times in all wins recorded over that period.
However, the previous meeting between the sides this season saw the points shared following a 1-1 draw. Leicester will be looking to avoid defeat in both league meetings in the same season against Spurs for the first time since 2015-16.
The trends also indicate that it should be a high-scoring affair on Sunday. Tottenham vs. Leicester has seen an average of 3.71 goals per game in the Premier League, which is the highest of any Premier League fixture that has been played at least 30 times.
Tottenham vs. Leicester Picks
The form of both of these sides is a concern. Only Southampton have suffered more defeats than Spurs since the start of December, while Leicester have lost seven on the bounce. Despite recent struggles, a home win looks to be the most likely outcome.
