Leicester vs Tottenham– Tuesday 28th November 2017 – 19:45

Leicester are 7/2 with Jamie Vardy at 5/1 to score first.

Leicester host Tottenham at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday evening, in the first round of fixtures after the international break.

The Foxes come into this match on the back of a 1-1 draw against West Ham, a hard-fought point for Leicester.

Leicester took an early lead through Marc Albrighton (8), with the poisonous atmosphere at the London Stadium of late never appearing.

The fans stuck with the players though and they got the rewards in the 45th minute when Cheikhou Kouyate equalised for the Hammers.

It's a solid result for both sides, with new managers David Moyes and Claude Puel in need of any points.

New Manager

Leicester unveiled Claude Puel as their new manager, with the Frenchman replacing Craig Shakespeare.

He has enjoyed a mixed honeymoon period, with one win, two draws and a defeat in their opening four matches.

Their only blemish is a 2-0 defeat against Manchester City, no shame against one of the best sides in Europe.

The Foxes find themselves in 12th position in the league, a far cry from when Puel joined the club.

Leicester Underdogs

This will be a tough match for Leicester, with Tottenham a quality side under Mauricio Pochettino.

Leicester will be looking for a first win in five matches against Spurs.

Tough Result

Tottenham come into this match on the back of a mixed draw against managerless West Brom.

They recorded a 1-1 draw against the Baggies, a tough result for a talented Tottenham side.

Spurs got off to the worst possible start when Salomon Rondon opened the scoring for the Baggies inside the first five minutes (4).

Harry Kane spared Tottenham's blushes (74) with a defeat at Wembley unthinkable for Pochettino's side.

Spurs couldn't find a winner and it means that they are able to avoid defeat but they will feel it's two points dropped.

They have suffered two defeats in their last six, against Arsenal and Manchester United.
