THE LOWDOWN

LEICESTER

  • Leicester’s match away at Burnley this past Saturday was postponed, meaning that they still have not played a Premier League fixture in the year 2022, a 4-1 win over Watford in the FA Cup on January 8th was their most recent competitive fixture.
  • The Foxes remain hard-hit by injures and international call-ups with four players away at the Africa Cup of Nations, although Brendan Rodgers is expected to have enough players required to field a suitable squad without having to apply for a postponement.

TOTTENHAM

  • Tottenham were left extremely frustrated on Sunday after their scheduled North London Derby clash with Arsenal was postponed at the request of the visitors due to them not having enough fit players to field a suitable team, a decision which drew anger from the Spurs camp.
  • The extra few days without fixture could benefit Antonio Conte with a number players edging ever closer to a return, however key attacker Heung-Min Son remains out through a muscular injury.

THE PREDICTION

Tottenham will be looking to take out their frustrations of not being able play Arsenal out on a heavily depleted Leicester side missing a number of players. The most notable absence is striker Jamie Vardy, which is a huge blow when considering how much stronger Tottenham have looked defensively since the arrival of Conte. Whilst Spurs themselves have struggled going forward, particularly on the road having scored just twice in the Premier League on their travels under Conte so far, forward Harry Kane boasts a wonderful record against Leicester and on a ground which has been so good to him in the past, it would be no surprise if the England star finds his scoring boots here. A close encounter is expected, but with an eye on the raft of players missing for Leicester, the shrewd move here is to back a Tottenham win via the safety of the draw no bet market.

Tip: TOTTENHAM DRAW NO BET
