Newly promoted Leicester City will be looking to test themselves against the big boys once more, as they take on Tottenham in a fascinating Monday Night Football encounter. Steve Cooper is the man at the helm for the Foxes this season and he knows he has a serious job on his hands to keep them in the Premier League. Meanwhile for Tottenham, this is a stern test of their credentials, with Champions League football on their agenda for next season.

Leicester City vs Tottenham Analysis
This should be a super contest at the King Power Stadium, with both sides chasing an opening day win.
Leicester City
It was just one season back in the Championship for Leicester City, who impressed last term under Enzo Maresca, so much so that the Italian has left the club and has gone to join Chelsea. Steve Cooper has been handed the mantle at Leicester and he will believe that he has the tools to avoid the drop this season. Whether they can stretch beyond that remains to be seen and this opening game should be a good yard stick for them.
Team news: Patson Daka is the key absentee for Leicester here.
Leicester City Predicted Lineup:
Hermansen, Kristiansen, Vestergaard, Faes, Justin, Winks, Ndidi, De Cordova-Reid, Buonanotte, Fatawu & Vardy.
Tottenham
Having enjoyed a real season of progress last term under Ange Postecoglou, there is a real feeling that Spurs could kick on his season with both Premier League betting sites and punters alike. Games such as this though have been tough in the past for Tottenham and they will need to show a new found strength and resolve if they are to come out on the right side of a result here.
Team news: Yves Bissouma is expected to miss this one for Tottenham.
Tottenham Predicted Lineup:
Vicario, Van Der Ven, Udogie, Romero, Porro, Maddison, Bentancur, Sarr, Son, Johnson & Solanke.
Leicester City vs Tottenham Prediction
All of the scrutiny will be on Tottenham here, as they look to get off to the best possible start this season and new man Dominic Solanke will be desperate to hit the ground running. The atmosphere at the King Power Stadium will be superb, with the Foxes faithful sure to back their heroes to the hilt but Tottenham are a real force to be reckoned with these days and they should prevail here.
Prediction: Tottenham to win the match – 3/4 (-125) – Rhino Bet.
Leicester City vs Tottenham – The Ultimate Bet
Tottenham to win & BTTS – 9/5 (+180) – Fitzdares
