An exciting matchweek one in the Premier League concludes tonight as Tottenham travel to face newly-promoted Leicester at the King Power Stadium. Spurs head into the new campaign optimistic about competing for a return to the top four, having been beaten by Aston Villa to Champions League qualification last term. They hand a debut to £65million striker signing Dominic Solanke this evening.
James Maddison will hope to impress against the club he left for Tottenham last summer following Leicester’s relegation as he makes his first return to the East Midlands, though Oliver Skipp is not eligible for a swift reunion with Spurs having completed his £25m transfer to Leicester earlier in the day. Former Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper is set to take charge of the Foxes for the first time.
Leicester return to the top-flight having struggled in the transfer market all summer, with injuries already biting and the threat of a possible points deduction as they await the looming verdict on an alleged breach of profit and sustainability rules. Getting off to a strong start could be absolutely imperative as they face a tough battle to avoid relegation again. Follow Leicester vs Tottenham live below!
