Leicester City host Tottenham Hotspur at the King Power Stadium tonight as the Foxes begin their bid to ensure Premier League survival against a Spurs side aiming to regain their Champions League status.
Leicester lost manager Enzo Maresca to Chelsea at the end of last season, replacing the Italian with former Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper, and the club have made a string of summer signings as they look to avoid relegation.
Ange Postecoglou is meanwhile looking to build on a solid first season in charge of Tottenham, having just missed out on Champions League qualification. Spurs landed striker Dominic Solanke off the back of a 19-goal season for Bournemouth and fans will be hoping he can hit the ground running following the club record £65m transfer.
Follow the latest score and match updates below as Leicester take on Tottenham in the Premier League.
Leicester vs Spurs
Leicester understand the extreme highs and lows of Premier League football like few others. From surprise champions in 2016 to relegated in 2023, the Foxes’ main concern will be getting a solid haul of points under their belts as soon as possible as they look to sustain their top-flight status.Â
Monday’s match is an excellent opportunity for both teams to get off to a fast start and gain some momentum as the schedule ramps up.Â
