Not a bad-looking game in prospect this Saturday in the early evening Premier League offering as Leicester City make the trip to London to face Tottenham.

Spurs will need to bounce back from the low of letting in two late goals in their midweek Champions League game at Sporting Lisbon, but back on home turf and with four days to recover they will be short odds to get all three points here over a Leicester side that are struggling.

The Foxes are rooted to the bottom of the table with just a point from their opening 6 games and start week 7 3 points detached from the pack.

The match betting sees Spurs as low as 1.50, with the draw 4.33 and Leicester at 6.50.

This clash last season ended in a 3-1 home win for Spurs too – you can back a repeat of this scoreline at 12.00.

Spurs also took 6 points off Leicester last season and have won 7 of their last 9 over the Foxes – and lost only 3 of their last 13 in all competitions.

It’s also a fixture that Spurs like to score goals in – they’ve netted 3+ times in 6 of their last 9 over Leicester City. Spurs have also scored in a massive 26 of their last 28 (93%) against the Foxes.

Both teams scored in 9 of the last 12 meetings too, so Leicester are not prone to finding the back of the net and both teams to score is on offer at 1.70.

No shocker to see Harry Kane having scored in the last 3 head-to-heads either – the England man is on offer at 4.00 (1st) and 1.90 (anytime). While Son, who hasn’t been firing yet this term, netted a brace (2 goals) in this clash last season and is 5.50 (1st) or 2.37 (anytime).

However, the way we are going to play this game is to side with OVER 2.5 GOALS – this option has paid out in 9 of the last 11 meetings (81%), so despite being short in the betting, we are happy to stick with the 1.57 on their being 3+ goals in the game.

BEST BET: OVER 2.5 GOALS @ 1.57
