So, let’s take a closer look at how both sides have performed in all the matches they’ve played in this Premier League so far.

Leicester City

Leicester City haven’t been in the best form so far, winning just four out of 11 matches so far and finishing with a draw in another three matches against Burnley, Crystal Palace, and Leeds United. Although they’ve won four matches so far, they’ve also lost the four played against West Ham, Man City, Brighton, and Arsenal.

Tottenham

As for Tottenham, they’ve been in slightly better form than Leicester City, winning five out of the 10 matches they’ve played so far. They’ve managed to defeat Man City, Wolves, Watford, Aston Villa, and New Castle so far, winning the latter by an impressive three goals. They’ve conceded the same number of defeats when they played against Crystal Palace, Chelsea, Arsenal, West Ham, and Man United.

Our Final Verdict on Leicester City vs Tottenham

Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy scored seven goals in the league so far, just three short of Liverpool’s Salah who is currently the top goal scorer with a total of 10 goals. On the other hand, Tottenham’s striker Harry Kane will also be a player to watch out for and he could be key to Tottenham advancing in the tournament. All eyes will definitely be on him in the upcoming match between Tottenham and Leicester City. Tottenham won two of their last nine Premier League away matches while Leicester won six out of 10 home league matches, so it really looks like the odds are currently in favour of Leicester City to win their fifth match against the Spurs since 2018.

Currently, neither Leicester City nor Tottenham are in the top five of the latest Premier League standings, although Tottenham is considerably closer at ninth place while Leicester City is still in 12^th place. However, with 27 matchdays left in the league, there’s still ample opportunity for both teams to move up and potentially qualify for the Champions League.
