As Postecoglou prepares for season number two at the Tottenham helm, Monday’s match will mark a maiden competitive game for Steve Cooper as Leicester head coach, after 2023-24 title-winning boss Enzo Maresca could not resist the pull of a long-term Chelsea contract.
Some members of the King Power faithful became disenchanted with Maresca’s style towards the end of his reign anyway, as after leading the Championship back for months on end, a downturn in form plunged Leicester’s automatic promotion hopes into serious jeopardy.

With the Arsenal-Tottenham rivalry still as bitter as ever, a chunk of Lilywhites fans happily relinquished their hopes of watching their side play Champions League football in 2024-25 at the expense of the Gunners’ title dream, as a 2-0 home loss to Manchester City in the closing stages of the campaign proved telling on two fronts.
After an apoplectic Ange Postecoglou ranted and raved about supporters siding against their team, Spurs still wound up in a respectable fifth position to earn direct entry into the Europa League, but there was a palpable sense of what could have been for the North London crop.

As Leicester are lacking two of their principle goal threats and failed to score in their last three matches of pre-season, those backing a Tottenham clean sheet should be left with a smile on their face come full time. The Lilywhites were not exactly solid at the back in pre-season either, but Postecoglou’s men have a taste for goals and should subject their hosts to a harsh welcome back to the Premier League.
Leicester City 0-2 Tottenham Hotspur, predicted by us.
