Tottenham vs Leicester City: Prediction, lineups, odds, live stream, TV, tickets, h2h – Premier League preview

Tottenham vs Leicester City
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: Wembley Stadium
Date: Sunday, February 10, 2019
Kick-off: 1:30pm GMT

Tottenham continue their unexpected Premier League title challenge on Sunday as Leicester City head to Wembley hoping to end Spurs' winning run.

Few would have expected Spurs to be among the title contenders given a lack of signings, delays to their new stadium and injuries to key players, but Mauricio Pochettino's side sit just eight off leaders Liverpool with a game in hand.

Tottenham have ground out late League victories against Fulham, Watford and Newcastle to stay in contention, and another win on Sunday would set Spurs up for a potentially spectacular run-in with the likes of Harry Kane and Dele Alli on the comeback trail.


Tottenham team news and predicted line-up

Harry Kane and Dele Alli remain out for Spurs, though both appear to be ahead of schedule from respective ankle and hamstring injuries.

Ben Davies is the only other absentee for Pochettino's side, though the coach also has a huge Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund next Wednesday to think about.

Spurs XI: Lloris, Trippier, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Rose, Sissoko, Winks, Dier, Eriksen, Son, Lucas


Score prediction: Tottenham 2-1 Leicester

Spurs have shown real grit of late to get over the line late on in games, and Pochettino will expect more of the same against a Leicester side who have lost three of their last four League games to leave Claude Puel under pressure.

The Foxes will hope to sit deep, soak up pressure and break on the counter - a tactic Spurs have struggled with of late - but the hosts should have enough to see off the visitors at Wembley.

Don't put your money on a draw, as Spurs have set a Premier League record by going 29 games without sharing the spoils.
