By Jake Cursley
Tomorrow at 3PM, Leicester City kickoff at White Hart Lane to face Spurs in the Premier League. As always, you can find all of the information you need right here!
Our Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 2 – 1 Leicester City
Reasoning: Leicester City had a great performance last weekend which saw Christian Fuchs score his first ever goal in a Leicester shirt during their 3 – 1 win over Crystal Palace.
Leicester fans will hope that Ranieri’s squad will use the 3 – 1 win over Crystal Palace and last Tuesday’s 1 – 0 win over Copenhagen in the Champions League to kick on their campaign on the road.

So far away from home, Leicester have picked up no points in a tough run of fixtures which has seen them lose every game so far to Hull, Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea.
The tough away fixtures aren’t set to stop just yet as they travel to last year’s closest rivals for the Premier League title.
Leicester City fans will be traveling in good spirits however, carrying with them a banner that I’m sure Spurs fans will love.
Tottenham themselves have had a stellar start to their campaign, just one point from being top of the league despite sitting in 5th place.
Their organised defence consisting of Toby Alderweireld, Danny Rose, Kyle Walker and Jan Vertonghen means that Hugo Lloris has a solid wall in front of his goal.
As such, the North London side have only conceded 4 goals this season, the best in the league. Whether this will continue tomorrow or not with Alderweireld out injured remains to be seen.
Despite their impressive league form, they are coming off the back of a 2 – 1 defeat to Liverpool in the EFL Cup with an albiet, weakened side.
However with Harry Kane out injured, they look toothless in attack without his pressence as his replacement Janssen is yet to get his Premier League career with Spurs fully underway.
Leicester City will have a tough 90 minutes ahead of them and with goals being hard to come by for Jamie Vardy, they may struggle however with recent results and confidence among the ranks, they may be out to shock one or two.
One thing that will give Leicester fans hope is boss Claudio Ranieri’s record against Spurs.
Throughout his Premier League career with both Chelsea and Leicester, the charasmatic Italian has never lost to Tottenham. Foxes fans around the world will be hoping that he maintains this record.
