Overview
Tottenham are going through a very difficult period in the Premier League season 2024-2025. Spurs are on a streak of 6 consecutive matches without knowing the taste of victory, including disappointing results such as a 2-2 draw with Wolves or a 2-3 loss to Everton.
Tottenham's biggest problem in recent times has been injuries to key defenders. Spurs' offense has still performed well with 45 goals scored, ranking second in the league, but cannot make up for the defense with 35 goals conceded.
Dejan Kulusevski has been one of Spurs' standout performers this season. With 17 goals in 34 appearances in all competitions, the Swedish striker is expected to shine against Leicester.
Leicester will be a suitable opponent for Tottenham at this time to be able to find the joy of victory again. After 22 matches, "The Foxes" are still struggling in the relegation battle with 7 consecutive losses in the Premier League. They also have a pretty bad defense with 48 goals conceded.
With both teams struggling defensively, this is likely to be an attacking affair. However, Tottenham's quality of players and home advantage will give them confidence in ending their winless run in the Premier League.
Tottenham have won 10 of the last 16 Premier League meetings between the two sides. However, it is worth noting that the two sides drew 1-1 in the reverse fixture this season.
Human resources situation
Tottenham's long injury list means they could be without up to 10 players ahead of this game, but manager Ange Postecoglou could welcome back Antonin Kinsky, Djed Spence and Sergio Reguilon.
On the other side of the front line, Leicester will once again be without the services of Abdul Fatawu, Ricardo Pereira and Wilfred Ndidi due to injury. However, new signing Woyo Coulibaly may make his debut.
Expected lineup:
Tottenham: Kinsky, Pedro Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Spence, Bergvall, Sarr, Maddison, Kulusevski, Solanke, Son Heung-min.
Leicester: Stolarczyk, Justin, Faes, Vestergaard, Kristiansen, Winks, Soumare, Ayew, Buonanotte, McAteer, Vardy.
The match between Tottenham and Leicester takes place at 9:00 p.m. on January 27 (Vietnam time).
