He thinks they are beginning to finally show some consistency and has disagreed with the general consensus that injury to Hugo Lloris is a big problem for Conte's side. He said: "I was at King Power Stadium to see Tottenham nick the points in absolutely stunning style in this fixture last season, when Steven Bergwijn scored twice in injury time to give them a 3-2 win.
He's just a phenomenal finisher. With him in the team, Tottenham are in the top-four race. "James Maddison is back for Leicester, and he makes a massive difference for the team. They were excellent against Aston Villa and scored four goals away from home. "I thought Leicester and Tottenham had brilliant results last weekend - they were both outstanding. This is a hard game, and it's going to be entertaining. Leicester score goals, and I think they'll be able to hold Tottenham to a draw.
Pundits disagree in Leicester vs Tottenham prediction as 'disaster' comment madeLeicester City return to Premier League action as they host Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday (3pm). The Foxes will be full of confidence heading into the match after picking up their first win since the return from the World Cup against Aston Villa last weekend. Three of City's front four were all on the scoresheet as Leicester ran out 4-2 winners at Villa Park, with all the club's January signings starting and making an impact. Tottenham, meanwhile, are also on a high having defeated Manchester City 1-0 last time out for a third win in a row in all competitions.
It could be just as close this time around too. "Leicester ended their long wait for a victory when they beat Aston Villa last week but they are not out of trouble yet. I think Southampton and Bournemouth are done, and will both go down, but that still leaves one relegation place to be filled. "At the other end of the table, Tottenham are finally showing signs of having some consistency with three straight wins in all competitions, and they will be hoping their manager Antonio Conte is back in the dugout after his operation.
