Leicester-Tottenham is a friendly and is played on Sunday at 12:00: news, TV, streaming, likely line-ups, predictions
Leicester and TottenhamLeicester and Tottenham are two teams who share a common desire for redemption after a nightmarish season, which ended respectively with unexpected relegation and an anonymous eighth place in the table.
The Foxes have seen the extraordinary and perhaps unrepeatable cycle that began in 2016 following the Premier League victory with Claudio Ranieri on the bench come to an end once and for all, and now they will have to start again from the Championship, the cadet series, where they are obviously among the main favourites for direct promotion. In order to return to the Premier League immediately, the club has relied on the Italian Enzo Maresca, who after his unsuccessful experience at the helm of Parma, last year had returned as Pep Guardiola’s assistant at Manchester City, an adventure crowned with the Champions League victory in the final in Istanbul. On the market, the objective is to try and keep the best players – one, Maddison, has ended up at Tottenham – and to shore up a squad that in any case already seems competitive. So far, Winks, Coady, Hermansen and Doyle have arrived, but between now and the end of August more will surely be added. Leicester, before leaving for Thailand, beat Northampton 1-0 thanks to a goal by Dewsbury-Hall.
There is also a lot of news in Tottenham, starting with the coach. After the short-lived Conte management ended, Spurs started again with Ange Postecoglou, an Australian coach with distinctly offensive ideas who has done very well in recent years at the helm of Celtic, in Scotland. The debut, however, was not one of the best, with the Londoners losing 3-2 in a thrilling derby against West Ham in Perth, Australia (2-3).

The Prediction
The Championship starts ahead of the Premier League and it would be no surprise to see a Leicester side better off athletically. The Foxes should score at least one goal in a friendly that will certainly not be short of goals
