LONDON, UK -- Two clubs that are not ideally having the best seasons look to change their narratives in the English Premier League relegation conversation, as Tottenham Hotspur plays host to Leicester City on Sunday.

After years of competing for a spot in European competition, the Spurs are making sure they stay as far away from the bottom three as they can. A lackluster start to the 2024-25 season, paired with a stretch in December that saw the club go winless in four of five matches, Tottenham finds itself well on its way to the organization’s worst finish since the 2007-08 campaign, when they finished 11th.
Tottenham came into the weekend on a six-match winless drought, going 0-1-5 during this stretch, including 3-2 loss to Everton last Sunday. They are 15th in the EPL, eight points ahead of 18th-place Ipswich Town.
Leicester City’s return to the Premier League this season has not been grand by any stretch. Seemingly picking up right where they left off when they were relegated to the Championship two years ago, the Foxes have not been able to string enough wins together to stay out of the relegation zone. After losing 2-0 to Fulham last weekend, Leicester has lost seven matches in a row and has not won since Dec. 3.
The Foxes are 19th in the standings, two points back of 17th place.
The Spurs are 61-22-38 against the Foxes, though Leicester held Tottenham to a draw in their first meeting in August.
