At 3 a.m. Beijing time on August 20, the final matchup of the first round of the 2024-25 Premier League season, promoted Malecester City hosted Tottenham.
Leicester City vs Tottenham, the highlights of the match are as follows:
First:Situation of both teams! Leicester City, who won the Championship last season, changed their manager in the summer window, with former Nottingham Forest boss Cooper becoming the new Foxes manager, and bringing in Fulham winger Reid, Chelsea midfielder Golding, Atalanta centre-back Okoli, and Brighton midfielder Bouonanotte on loan. Tottenham Hotspur finished fifth in the Premier League last season and the team has invested heavily in Bournemouth centre-forward Sollanke in the summer window, including Hojbjerg, Sessegnon, Emerson, Perisic and Tanganga.
Second:The Blues' return to the Premier League is limited, and it is difficult to prevent a centre-forward Tottenham from getting off to a good start! Although Leicester City returned to the Premier League, the team's strength improvement was very limited, while Tottenham's Premier League start was dreamy and title-contending. Tottenham seem to have left the team with a lot of departures and are all fringe players, but they have a positive Indian center forward Solanke, which will release wingers such as Son Heung-min and greatly improve Tottenham's attacking ability. Coupled with Leicester City's poor warm-up form, the team's two major strikers Daka and Vardy are injured, Tottenham Hotspur is expected to be the main opponent away, beating the Blue Foxes in one fell swoop to get the new Premier League season off to a good start.
The two sides have met in the past 6 times, and Leicester City has 2 wins and 4 losses, which is at a disadvantage.
Injuries on both sides: Leicester CityDhaka, Vardy, Cody; Tottenham hasBissouma, Foster, Richarlison (doubtful)。
