Monday night's English Premier League action sees newly promoted Leicester host Spurs.
Leicester
Leicester were automatically promoted from the Championship last season, bouncing straight back from relegation the previous season. They sold Dewsbury-Hall to Chelsea and they will be without strikers Patson Daka and Jamie Vardy for the opening rounds. Last season all three clubs who were promoted from the Championship went straight back down and Leicester will need to box clever in the transfer market in the remainder of this month to give new boss Steve Cooper more options.
Most recent pre-season results include defeats at home to Palermo 91-0) and at Augsburg 1-0) and Lens (3-0) but the real business starts here.
Latest Season Long Odds
To be relegated 4/10
Spurs
Spurs started last season really well but faltered later in the campaign and they had to settle for fifth position, missing out on Champions League football. They will be in the Europa League and new signings include Solanke from Bournemouth and Archie Gray from Leeds.
Spurs lost a couple of friendly matches to Bayern Munich recently but their pre-match press-conference suggests they have almost a fully fit squad to choose from.
Latest Season Long Odds
Top 4 finish 1.75/1
To win the title 25/1
The Betting
Leicester are trading at around 4/1 to win the game with the draw at 33/10 and Spurs can be backed at around 6/10
A game of 3 goals or more is 5/10 and it's 0.57/1 for both teams to score.

The Verdict:
Spurs started last season well and I expect them to get of to a flyer here against a Leicester side who are favourites to take the drop.
Spurs to win a game of 3 goals or more in total is my play.
Bets: Match result and total goals, Spurs win and over 2.5 at 21/20 with Sportingbet
