The final match on the opening weekend of the Premier League season will be staged on Monday, August 19, as Tottenham Hotspur travel to newly promoted Leicester City. A thrilling encounter is likely at the King Power Stadium, but which side will start the new season with maximum points?

Before Betting On Leicester vs Tottenham

The exciting action in the Premier League across the final weekend concludes on Monday, as Leicester begin life back in the top-flight when they come up against Tottenham. The Foxes bounced back to the Premier League at the first opportunity after finishing top of the Championship standings last term. However, it has been all change at the club during the summer months.

Steve Cooper will lead the club into the new campaign after being appointed as the team’s new head coach during the summer. The Foxes have continued to invest in younger stars, including the additions of Abdul Fatawu and Michael Golding during the off-season. However, they will need to make a strong start to the campaign to avoid getting dragged into the relegation scrap.

Tottenham Hotspur narrowly missed out on a place in the Champions League last season in their first campaign without Harry Kane. Spurs settled for fifth in the standings, meaning that they will have Europa League soccer to keep them occupied throughout the upcoming season.

It has been a relatively quiet pre-season for Spurs, as they are still weighing up a number of options in the number nine position. However, they have added Archie Gray to their ranks, and he could be set to play an important role this term. Tottenham comes into this opening round of matches after winning four of their five pre-season encounters.
