Leicester City Form & Team News

Leicester City are the fifth-placed team in Premier League this season with 66 points from 37 games. They have won 20 games while losing as many as eleven games this season. They have also drawn six games. They lost their last game against Chelsea while winning the last two matches before that against Tottenham and Manchester United both by a single goal margin. Their home record is pretty ordinary with just nine wins coming from 18 games played so far. Leicester City can finish within Champions League Qualification if they win the next game against Tottenham on Sunday but they cannot add to their trophy cabinet again this season after the FA cup triumph last week against Chelsea.

Harvey Barnes has sustained a knee injury while Jonny Evans has endured a Muscle injury. James Justin also has an ACL injury and Wes Morgan with a back injury and Cengiz Under with a hip injury completes the comparatively long list of injured players in the Leicester City lineup. The top goalscorer is James Vardy who has netted 13 goals while the likes of Iheanacho and Barnes are also in good goal-scoring nick which augurs well for the team as a whole. Vardy has provided the most assists this season for Leicester City along with Maddison and Albrighton proves to be a good attacking team against any defense on any given day.

Tottenham are the seventh-placed team in Premier League this season with 59 points from 37 games. They have won 17 games while losing as many as 12 games this season. They have also drawn eight games. They are coming into the last game after the loss against Aston Villa last week before which they won the game before that against Wolves by two goals to nil. Their home record is not that great for a sixth-ranked team to some of the other teams with just seven wins coming from 17 games played so far. They are still in with a shout for at least the Europa League qualification given they win the last game and West Ham to drop points consequently.

Ben Davies is the only injured player in the Tottenham Hotspurs lineup who is nursing a calf injury and is doubtful for the crucial fixture against Leicester in the final game of the season. Harry Kane and Son have by far single-handedly taken the spurs this far which is also shown in the numbers as well. The former has netted 22 goals and assisted on 13 occasions while Son has the second-most goals and assists for the Spurs scoring 17 goals and providing ten assists in the process. Former Real Madrid stalwart Bale has also shown glimpses of his old self.
