Tottenham enter this match after a shock defeat in Lisbon against Sporting 2-0. Antonio Conte obviously opted for a more defensive tactic in that game, but it backfired because Tottenham lost by conceding two goals in the 90th to 93rd minute. Today they welcome Leicester on their field and this meeting will be a very good opportunity for them to get back on the winning track and go on vacation with three new points due to the representative break. The team from London is doing really well in the new season and after 6 games they have 14 out of possible 18 points and so far they have not lost a single game. They played three games at home and recorded the same number of victories. True, they played against teams that will probably find themselves in the lower part of the table at the end of the season (Fulham, Southampton and Wolverhampton), but looking at the current situation, a similar scenario is happening to Leicester. Harry Kane opened the season very well, but in the last two games Tottenham's striker failed to score. Leicester look like the ideal team to restart the great Tottenham striker. If Kane likes to play against any team, it is certainly Leicester. In 14 matches played against Foxes, he managed to score 17 goals and there is no doubt that this time he will be the biggest threat to their goal. I also see the match against Leicester as a very good opportunity for Son Heung-Min to finally wake up. The excellent Korean has only one assist so far, which is certainly not what the fans expected.

Despite all expectations, Leicester is currently in the last position in the table. The management of Leicester is paying dearly the price of a bad transfer period and the fact that they did not bring any players, and that they sold very important players like Fofana and Schmeichel. After 6 games played, Leicester have not won a single game and they are very close to equaling, if not breaking, the negative record from the 1983/84 season when they failed to win seven matches at the start of the season. According to the position in the table, it is clear that the team has a lot of problems, but the biggest problem is noticeable in the defense. The absence of the brilliant Schmeichel, who instilled security in the defense with his interventions, is more than obvious. Danny Ward's inexperience is really showing and his poor interventions are directly responsible for some of the goals conceded so far. The uncertain defense and the even more uncertain goalkeeper will definitely be put to an extremely difficult test against the more than powerful attack of Tottenham. Recently, the matches between these two teams almost always guarantee goals, and I honestly think that this will be the case today and that we will almost certainly see more than 2.5 goals.
