Here's our Tottenham vs Leicester Prediction analysis: Following a slow start to the season, Tottenham made the bold step of relieving erstwhile manager Mauricio Pochettino of his duties, appointing Jose Mourinho to take over from the Argentine gaffer with immediate effect. With Daniel Levy opting to go down this route, he fell out with a number of supporters given how fond they were of Pochettino. Bringing Tottenham from the ruins of midtable obscurity to the Champions League final – the 48-year-old manager has already made himself a cult hero at the London club.

With Mourinho at the helm, the Lilywhites are gunning for continental qualification and are well on course to booking a ticket to the Europa League. Currently occupying the final European slot on the standings, Tottenham will be determined to see out their remaining fixtures unscathed.

Just a point ahead of stubborn rivals Sheffield United, Mourinho charges will need to remain in top form to make it into Europe. Two games left to play, the Lilywhites will be seeking victories in both games, beginning with a tough asking against top-four contenders Leicester City on Sunday evening.

Having blown everyone away with their displays last season, Tottenham have turned a shadow of their former selves with the poor quality of performances and results managed this term. Now, Mourinho’s ultimate aim will be getting the club into Europe to give the fans something to cheer, in this rather tumultuous campaign.

Their continental qualification hopes hanging on a thin thread, Tottenham took off to St James’ Park few days ago, seeking to snatch but victory from Newcastle United, even in unfamiliar territory. In terrific form on the day, the Lilywhites safely bagged all three points.

Contrary to pre-game analysis, it was not an easy game for Tottenham as they were made to scrap really hard for the win. With scores level after an hour of football in Tyneside, Harry Kane’s masterclass turned out to be the difference – grabbing a brace late on, to secure a comfortable 3-1 win.
Under pressure from a rejuvenated Manchester United side lurking behind them in fifth place, Leicester City were in dire ne
ed of points when they took on Sheffield United on the last matchday. Level on points with the Red Devils, Rodgers and his boys couldn’t afford any blips.

The Foxes made light work of their Europa League chasing opposition on the evening, grabbing two goals either side of both halves to bag the three points. A routine victory it was for Leicester, they held onto fourth-place after the 36^th round of PL fixtures.

For this clash, Tottenham are slight favorites for the win. Following a disastrous return to football after Project Restart, the Lilywhites seem to have turned a corner in recent weeks. They are on a four-game unbeaten run – the highlight of which was a commanding 2-1 victory over Arsenal.

Luckily for the hosts, Harry Kane seems to have rediscovered his goalscoring form, bagging a brilliant brace against Newcastle few days ago. The Englishman will fancy grabbing a couple more goals against Leicester to add to his 15 PL goal tally.

Meanwhile, the Foxes have not been entirely convincing since the turn of the year. Their attack is spearheaded by Jamie Vardy, the Englishman being the catalyst behind every meaningful Leicester forward surge. Once the 33-year-old is tamed, the Foxes immediately turn clueless when approaching the final-third.

This game holds so much significance in the race for continental qualification in the Premier League. As determined as the visitors will be, heading into this game, Tottenham will also be seeking maximum points to book a ticket to next season’s edition of the Europa League.

Given Vardy is Leicester City’s sole source of inspiration in attack, they are bound to struggle here. The hosts are a much more dynamic side, tilting the scale slightly in their favor. The safest punt will be a double chance backing Tottenham for glory.
