Teams in the Premier League are decimated not only by numerous injuries but also by coronavirus. And both Tottenham and Leicester will face each other on Thursday night with very different line-ups. Let’s take a closer look at how both teams are performing.
Leicester have not had a great season, winning only 3 of their last 10 games.
Moreover, Brendan Rodgers has been plagued by a large number of players, especially in defence, which he is trying to patch up with midfielders. The question is how they will be able to defend Harry Kane and co.
Tottenham are also a certain unknown, however, as some games have had to be postponed due to coronavirus or the weather, and there is still a question mark hanging over several players as to whether they will start at all tonight.
Overall, the Premier League will now be very wild due to the aforementioned coronavirus and therefore very difficult for punters to pick the right tips, which they will have to wait until the release of the starting eleven about 45 minutes before kick-off to place their bets, as it can never be known for sure who has been so affected by the illness that they can’t make it through the whole game.
However, from this game onwards, Tottenham can be counted on to dominate, mainly due to the Foxes’ devastated defence. Overall, Leicester’s games are conceding a lot of goals and although they have one of the best attacks, on the other hand, they also have one of the worst defences.
Tottenham have only conceded one goal in their last 4 league games against Leeds United. They will surely present a similarly meticulous performance now and will be slight favourites to win.
It is certainly also interesting to note that the last time a draw ended in a mutual duel was in the autumn of 2016. In the last 4 matches then, each team won once at home and once away.
