The Premier League clash on Monday night, August 19, will see Tottenham Hotspur take on Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

Latest Leicester vs Tottenham squad information
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has suspended midfielder Yves Bissouma for Monday's game after he was caught inhaling laughing gas. Fraser Forster (leg) and Richarlison (calf) are both out of action, but the latter is likely to be replaced by £65m new signing Dominic Solanke, who is expected to make his full debut.
No Tottenham new signing has scored on their Premier League debut since Steven Bergwijn in 2020. Captain Son Heung-min has scored 13 goals in 14 games against Leicester, including nine goals and four assists.
Leicester have a tough time with Patson Daka out for several months with an ankle injury and Jamie Vardy still recovering from injury. Conor Coady and Luke Thomas are also out. Leicester could rely on Tom Cannon or Stephy Mavididi as replacements, with Harry Winks expected to face his former club.

Tottenham Hotspur: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Sarr, Bentancur; Kulusevski, Maddison, Son; Solanke
Latest Leicester vs Tottenham match review
The Arsenal-Tottenham rivalry was as tense as ever, with a section of Spurs fans happily abandoning their 2024-25 Champions League hopes in favour of Arsenal. The 2-0 defeat to Manchester City at the end of the season had clear consequences. Although Tottenham finished fifth and qualified for the Europa League, the sense of what might have been is still palpable.
Ange Postecoglou, who has picked up 26 points from his first 10 games, continues to insist that finishing in the top four is not the priority, but progress. Tottenham had a commendable pre-season with wins over Hearts, Queens Park Rangers, Vissel Kobe and Team K-League, but two defeats to Bayern Munich have halted their progress.
Monday's game will be Steve Cooper's first competitive appearance for Leicester, replacing Enzo Maresca. Although Maresca helped Leicester return to the Premier League, a drop in form has left Leicester in danger. Cooper made a strong start to pre-season but has suffered three straight defeats.
Leicester are currently without two of their key strikers and have failed to score in their last three pre-season games, while Tottenham, while not entirely solid at the back, are capable of scoring and will be ready for their Premier League return with an impressive performance.
