Five defeats in a row, a single point in the opening six games, the worst Premier League side at the moment by a mile. And you’re facing them at your place. Cushty, right?Well, for Tottenham Hotspur, it should be because their game against Leicester City on Saturday afternoon could serve as a perfect redemption song following that horrible 2-0 away loss to Sporting Lisbon in the Europa League.What a blitzkrieg by the Lions – final three minutes were Tottenham’s downfallAntonio Conte’s team lost after conceding two in the dying minutes of the match, in which they were far from the expected level. Kane, Son and Richarlison struggle to deliver the show and goals that should be the Spurs’ driving force. Albeit the newcomer Perisic has made his presence in the team very visible, the rest of the squad has suffered a drop in their performance and it’s almost palpable.”We don’t want to train in London because of Conte”Fortunately for them, the Foxes are coming just at the right time. The Spurs need that one landslide victory that would heal the traumas and get them back on track in pursuit of not less than four trophies this season.##NAJAVA_MECA_6651269##On the other end, Brendan Rodgers has probably got some nasty secrets about the Leicester boardroom because there’s no other rational explanation why they still trust the guy that booked them the relegation ticket as early as mid-September. Bottom of the table, players leaving, nobody coming in – these are challenging times for the FoxesSure, no one expected them to stay high in the table after clashes with Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea, but the likes of Vardy, Maddison and Tielemans promise much more than being stuck to the very bottom of the Premiership.PREMIER LEAGUE – ROUND 8FridayAston Villa – Southampton 1-0 (1-0)/Ramsey 41/Nottingham Forest – Fulham 2-3 (1-0)/Awoniyi 11, O’Brien 77 – Adarabioyo 54, Palhinha 57, Reed 60/Saturday14:30: (9.00) Wolverhampton (5.20) Man.City (1.38)17:00: (1.50) Newcastle (4.30) Bournemouth (7.75)19:30: (1.50) Tottenham (4.50) Leicester (7.25)Sunday14:00: (4.60) Brentford (3.70) Arsenal (1.85)16:15: (3.10) Everton (3.20) West Ham (2.55)***odds are subject to change***
