Leicester City Return to Premier League Against Tottenham at King Power Stadium | OneFootball

Leicester City vs Tottenham Preview: Premier League Clash at King Power Stadium

Tottenham Hotspur embark on their second Premier League campaign under Ange Postecoglou with an away fixture against newly-promoted Leicester City. After an impressive start last season, injuries disrupted Spurs’ progress, ultimately costing them a Champions League spot. Despite this setback, finishing just two points off the top four leaves plenty of room for optimism as they head into the new season.

Leicester City, on the other hand, return to the top flight after securing the Championship title. However, the Foxes face a period of adjustment following the departure of their manager, Enzo Maresca, to Chelsea. New manager Steve Cooper will be keen to make his mark, but Leicester remains somewhat of an unknown quantity.

Date, Kick-Off Time, and Venue

Leicester City vs Tottenham is set for Monday, 19 August 2024, with an 8 pm BST kick-off at the King Power Stadium in Leicester.
