At 3:00 AM on August 20th, Leicester City will host Tottenham in the first round of the Premier League. As the Championship champion last season, Leicester City returns to the Premier League hoping to make a mark; Tottenham, a BIG6 team, is looking to start the new season with a win.
In the 2023-24 season, Leicester City won the Championship with a record of 31 wins, 4 draws, and 11 losses, accumulating 97 points, which allowed them to return to the Premier League. As a newly promoted team, Leicester City will still need to focus on staying in the league. In the 2023-24 season, Tottenham finished 5th in the Premier League with a record of 20 wins, 6 draws, and 12 losses, accumulating 66 points. They will be competing in the Europa League this season.
During the summer transfer window, Leicester City’s main signings were the buy-out of Ihasaque for €17 million after the end of his loan period, the signing of Golding for €5.9 million, and the signing of Oakley for €14 million. Leicester City also sold their key attacker Kiernan Hall to Chelsea for €34.5 million, which will have a significant impact on the team.
Tottenham made significant moves in the summer transfer window, signing Beriwala for €10 million, Archie Gray for €41.25 million, Solanke for €64.3 million, and Odobert for €29.3 million. Beriwala and Archie Gray are both only 18 years old, while Odobert is only 19 years old. These are all investments for Tottenham’s future. Solanke, who contributed 21 goals and 4 assists for Bournemouth last season, is a proven player.
In the first round of the Premier League, the BIG6 teams showed their strength, with Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City all securing 3 points. The only BIG6 team to lose was Chelsea, who lost to Manchester City in a BIG6 showdown. As the last BIG6 team to appear in the first round, Tottenham’s ability to continue the BIG6’s dominance is attracting attention.
In this match, Leicester City’s squad is complete, while Tottenham’s Foster will be missing due to injury.
In their past encounters, Leicester City has a clear disadvantage with a record of 34 wins, 15 draws, and 52 losses. In head-to-head matches, Leicester City also has the disadvantage with a record of 18 wins, 6 draws, and 25 losses.
