Leicester City hosts Tottenham in round 17 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Thursday, December 16th at King Power Stadium (Leicester)
Leicester City is in 8th place in the English Premier League standings with 22 points. The Foxes have six victories, four draws, and six losses after 16 rounds. They did not play very well in the first December matches. In the Premier League, the Blues tied against Southampton (2-2) and lost to Aston Villa (2-1), and in the group stage of the Europa League, they suffered a defeat from Napoli (3-2). The loss in Italy sent the Foxes, who finished in 3rd place in Group C, to the playoffs of a less prestigious European competition, the Conference League. Leicester players became angry after those failures and partially rehabilitated themselves in a home championship match against Newcastle (4-0). Youri Tielemans scored a brace, and Patson Daka and James Maddison scored one goal each.

Antonio Conte's team is ranked seventh in the Premier League standings with 25 points after 14 matches. Tottenham gained eight victories and one draw and suffered five defeats. The Spurs have not played official matches since December 5. Before this forced pause, they dealt with Norwich City in a Premier League home game (3-0). After that match, a coronavirus epidemic began in their camp, and it affected the players and club employees. Due to numerous positive tests, the Conference League group stage match against the French Rennes was canceled. Beyond that, the confrontation between Tottenham and Brighton, which should take place on December 12, was postponed for an indefinite period.
The outcome of the upcoming match is difficult to predict. Tottenham's problems with the roster play in favor of the Blues. Conte's coaching staff will not be able to count on a group of top players due to the coronavirus. On the other hand, Leicester City is now itself weakened by injuries and illnesses, while the Spurs had time to reboot and recuperate a little. The upcoming game is likely to please the fans with a large number of goals scored. The opponents will play without a range of leaders in the defensive and middle lane, which may affect their actions near their penalty areas. The last matches of these teams also speak in favor of high production. Leicester's seven consecutive games in all tournaments ended with at least three goals, and a similar result was recorded in five of Tottenham's last seven matches.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
