Leicester City hosts Tottenham in round 38 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, May 23rd at King Power Stadium (Leicester)
Leicester lost to Chelsea in the last round (2-1). The teams were direct competitors for the third place in the standings. The victory allowed Chelsea to oust Leicester from the top three. The Foxes were pushed back even further by Liverpool, who beat Burnley in the away match (0-3). Now Leicester is only in 5th position. The Foxes still have a chance of returning to the top three, but the final position will depend not only on them, but also on the matches of their opponents: Chelsea - Aston Villa and Liverpool - Crystal Palace. It will be very difficult for Leicester in the last match. The team plays poorly at home. The Foxes gained nine victories and one draw and suffered eight defeats. Away, the team has 11 wins, five draws, and three defeats. However, the last game of the season will be different from Leicester's other home games. This will be the first game with spectators in the stands. Taking into account the huge tournament value of the match and the presence of Leicester fans, the Foxes may well improve the statistics at King Power Stadium.

For Tottenham, the situation is more difficult than for Leicester. The team has the same points as the 8th Everton. Arsenal is one point behind the Spurs. In the event of a defeat to Leicester, Tottenham may let one of these teams go ahead and not even qualify for the Conference League. The situation for the Spurs was spoiled by a home defeat to Aston Villa in the previous round (1-2). They showed a horrible game. Tottenham looked disorganized, especially against the backdrop of motivated Aston Villa. The Lions delivered 20 shots on Tottenham's goal. However, Villa players scored only one goal on their own. Sergio Reguillon cut the second ball into his net.
Leicester and Tottenham are motivated to win and will give their best. Both teams have strong attacking lines that have allowed them to score in 31 of 37 league games. This is the best result in the league after Manchester City. The Foxes have scored in seven previous Premier League rounds, and Tottenham did it in 14 cases. At the same time, the teams are unreliable in defense. Leicester has conceded in seven of the last eight matches, and Tottenham goalkeeper took the ball out of his net in six out of eight cases. The teams often show spectacular football in head-to-head matches — they have scored more than two goals in three out of four previous games. Therefore, we should wait for a goal show.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
