Leicester City: DDLWW

Just days after meeting in the FA Cup, Tottenham and Leicester will once again go head-to-head in at White Hart Lane in this Premier League top-four showdown.

Consistency paying off for Spurs

Tottenham’s consistency throughout the season has helped them to edge into the top four without too much fuss. The North London side have lost just one of their last 19 games and only their opponents can equal their tally of just two defeats.

No team in the league has conceded less goals than Mauricio Pochettino’s men and only four teams have scored more. As a result, they are currently sitting in fourth place in the Premier League table and can close the gap on their second-ranked rivals with a win on Wednesday.

Leicester still hard to beat

Having already achieved their 40 -point target, Claudio Ranieri’s team can now start thinking about European qualification. With just over half a season played, the East Midlands club have defied all the odds to remain in the top two places in the league.

Like Spurs, the Foxes have lost just two league games all season, and they have only been outscored by Manchester City. Prior to their FA Cup draw with Tottenham at the weekend, they played out consecutive 0-0 draws against Manchester City and Bournemouth.

Prediction

When the two hardest to beat teams in the league go head-to-head a draw is the obvious bet. Back the draw at 14/5 with Bet365.
