Dugout Discussion – Leicester City vs Tottenham Hotspur

Double Gameweek 37 finally comes to an end this evening as Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur go head-to-head at the King Power Stadium at 7.45pm.

After grabbing his side’s second in Sunday’s win over Man United, Harry Kane is now just two goals behind Romelu Lukaku in the race for the Golden Boot.

Having returned eight goals and three assists in his last seven starts, the Spurs striker has been handed the armband by 5.5% of FPL managers – more than any player in tonight’s encounter.

For Christian Eriksen’s 18% FPL owners, the Double Gameweek serves up one final twist – the Dane drops to the bench tonight after earning eight points against United last weekend.

Elsewhere for the visitors, Dele Alli starts as he looks to arrest a run of one goal in his previous four – the midfielder was transferred out by 56,000 FPL managers ahead of Tottenham’s pair of fixtures.

The hosts’ Jamie Vardy is the eighth most popular armband pick (2.4%) of Double Gameweek 37 on the back of seven goals and five assists in 11 appearances since Craig Shakespeare took the helm.

Meanwhile, Foxes wide man Marc Albrighton has flourished as a budget asset across that period, producing two goals and five assists in 10 outings under the new man in charge.

    I presume Eriksen is been rested if he's on the bench?

      I think he may share minutes with Alli today

        Hope you're right

    Son way, way over.

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Possible Alli assist.

    Son is honestly so crap. One of the most wasteful players in the league

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      He certainly made a dog's dinner of that chance.

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        He does it with most of his chances

    2. zotter
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      He isn't crap at all. One of the most technically accomplished players. Not a great finisher tho

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Horrendous finisher

    Will the 8th in EPL get a UEFA spot if Utd qualify for UCL through UEFA route?
    If so Leicester has something to play for!!

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      No

    2. dhamphiir

      The team placed fifth in the Premier League automatically qualifies for the UEFA Europa League, and the sixth and seventh-placed teams can also qualify, depending on the winners of the two domestic cup competitions i.e. the FA Cup and the EFL Cup. Two Europa League places are reserved for the winners of each tournament; if the winner of either the FA Cup or EFL Cup qualifies for the Champions League, then that place will go to the next-best placed finisher in the Premier League
