Leicester City will be aware that the three promoted teams were relegated from the Premier League in May, with Luton, Sheffield United and Burnley all falling by the wayside. The Foxes won the Championship title in impressive fashion last term, although the man who steered them to this success has now upped sticks to join Chelsea.
Enzo Maresca has been replaced by Steve Cooper, with the latter having performed well in the top-flight with Nottingham Forest. Abdul Fatawu has made his loan move permanent at the Midlands club after an impressive campaign last term, with funds likely to be made available to strengthen a squad which has lost Denis Praet and Keleci Iheanacho.
Tottenham Hotspur have made an early capture of Lucas Bergvall from Swedish club Djurgarden, with something of a clear-out taking place and Ange Postecoglou will continue with his attacking tactics that entertained supporters last season. He will hope for more from players such as Son Heung-Min and James Maddison among others.
It’s Spurs who are warm favourites to land a victory in this clash, although the north London side were only able to win seven of their nineteen away matches last term. It might therefore be looking for an alternative bet such as both teams to score or Over 2.5 Goals in the game, with both sides looking to play on the front foot.
