Leicester City begin life back in the Premier League against Tottenham Hotspur tonight (8pm).
Steve Cooper will take charge of his first competitive match as Foxes boss, following his arrival during the summer, as Spurs arrive at the King Power Stadium. It’s a tough start for City against Ange Postecoglou’s side who finished in fifth place in the top-flight last season.
Pundit Chris Sutton has given his prediction to the BBC ahead of kick-off, saying: “I am hearing a lot of nonsense about Tottenham and how their manager Ange Postecoglou 'needs a good start' to the new campaign. I don't understand why he is under pressure now at the start of his second season.
“The Spurs fans were bored and fed up every weekend under Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte, but they were entertained last season and almost made the top four too - all without Harry Kane.
“Nobody can argue that Ange did not make progress, so why is he being questioned? It feels like people are waiting for him to fail, and I think that is deeply unfair.
“I don't think it will bother Postecoglou, though. He will just plough through it. He has managed for a long time and has had huge success.
“I am expecting Spurs to have another good season under him, especially now they have signed Solanke, which looks like an astute bit of business.
“Leicester will be well-organised under Steve Cooper, and they probably stand the best chance of staying up out of the three promoted clubs, but I think Spurs will be too strong for them.”
Sutton's prediction: 1-3
