Spurs offered favourable task in first game of the season
The final game of the Premier League’s opening round pits Tottenham against Leicester tonight.
Spurs started life under the Australian in stunning fashion last time out before suffering injuries to key players, derailing their progress.
While missing out on Champions League qualification was disappointing after such a strong start, Postecoglou’s side were just two points off the top four, so confidence should be high.
The Foxes, meanwhile, stormed to the Championship title but have since lost manager Enzo Maresca to Chelsea.
Leicester vs Tottenham is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off time today, Monday August 19, 2024.
The King Power Stadium in Leicester will host.
TV channel: The game will be broadcast on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Ultra HDR. Coverage starts at 6.30pm.
Live stream: Subscribers will be able to watch on a live stream via the Sky Go app.

Conor Coady and Jamie Vardy will not be fit to start the season for Leicester, who will also be without Zambian forward Patson Daka for several months following ankle surgery.
Dominic Solanke is in line for a quick-fire debut for Spurs after sealing a club-record move late last week. Fellow new signings Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall may also make their first competitive appearances, while Wilson Odobert is also eligible after his shock switch from Burnley on Friday.
Yves Bissouma will not be involved after being handed a one-match ban by the club after being filmed inhaling laughing gas. Oliver Skipp will also sit this one ut as he finalises a permanent move to the Foxes.
Spurs should fancy their chances of starting the season with a victory, albeit Leicester are something of an unknown quantity under Steve Cooper.
