Leicester City hosts Tottenham Hotspur in round 17 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, January 19th at King Power Stadium (Leicester)
Leicester City played their last game in the Premier League at the end of December. Then the Foxes were stronger than Liverpool at their native stadium (1-0). After that, Rogers’s men took the field on January 8 and beat Watford in the FA Cup (4-1). Thus, Leicester played only one match in three weeks. I do not rule out that the Foxes may have problems with the playing tone. In the current Premier League, they played only 18 matches and earned 25 points. At the moment, this is enough to be on the 10th line in the standings. The team has three games in hand. If it manages to win them, it will probably even get into the European competition zone. The Foxes have conceded a lot in the current season, namely, 33 goals in 18 games. On average, almost two goals flew into the team's net in one game.

Like Leicester, Tottenham has not played in the Premier League for a long time. The Spurs played their last match in the championship on January 1st. Then they were stronger than Watford away (0-1). In general, they have not lost in eight consecutive rounds (five victories and three draws). Such results allowed Conte's men to seriously claim a place in the TOP-4. I remind you that they have 33 points after 18 matches. If they manage to win all the postponed games, they will be in the Champions League zone. Although Tottenham had a long downtime in the Premier League, it managed to play three matches in the FA and League Cups. Therefore, the players should not have problems with playing conditions. However, away results in the Premier League leave much to be desired: three victories, two draws, and three losses with a goal difference of 7-10.
Probably, we will see a very interesting match, as both the hosts and the visitors need three points. The Spurs show more balanced football, so they have more chances to win. However, they have one problem — unstable performances on foreign pitches. Yes, the Londoners are in a better playing tone, but the hosts will offer decent resistance. It seems to me that the teams will not determine the winner.
