Paddy’s pal Mark Lawrenson‘s going to the well once again to offer you his game-changing insight to Leicester v Tottenham. Let’s have it, Lawro.
Leicester v Tottenham betting tips
Tottenham to win 3-0
Dominic Solanke to score
WHEN: Monday 19th August, 8pm
WHERE: King Power Stadium
TV: Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League
I’m going to go for a big 3-0 win for Tottenham. I like the manager Ange Postecoglou, he’s a breath of fresh air, and I was shouting for him to go and manage Liverpool when Jurgen Klopp announced he was going.
I love the way he plays and he takes no s**t. They’ve signed Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth and Liverpool pocketed a nice loads of sell-on cash from that.
He’s a goal scorer and he’s from near London so I would think, looking at Tottenham now, they’re a much-better bet to finish higher up the league than this time last year.
Ange is a players’ manager. He is what he is, if he’s made a mistake he says so. I know one or two people at the club and they say the players love him, they absolutely love him.
He’s like their mate, but he’s not their best mate which is a really good way of running things. Solanke will get enough chances to be a success.
Leicester are struggling for strikers and defensively they were ordinary in the Championship, which you can be and still get promoted.
