"Both teams have made a good start to the season. Spurs are at home, in fantastic form, Leicester lost at home to Everton in the week, so I think Spurs will continue their form and maybe win, 2-1, something like that. I’m working with ESPN and focussing a little more on the Bundesliga at the moment, but I’m impressed with Spurs. We all felt that if Jose Mourinho could get the team playing in the way in the way he likes to play, and Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son maintain their form, there is a really good chance this season. Maybe we didn’t see City’s form being so up and down, Liverpool are hampered by injuries, plus the emotional toll of such the insane season they had last season. It’s a good time if Spurs can stay healthy. I believe it’s a season where they can push for the title, definitely.”

“Leicester come into this game off the back of a 2-0 home defeat against Everton, where they were largely disappointing. It’s been very inconsistent this season, and they’ve lost as many games at home already this time around as they did last season (four). However, away from home, they are a very different proposition. They’ve won at Arsenal, Sheffield United, West Brom, Leeds... the away matches seemed tailor-made for how Brendan Rodgers wants the team to play. They are a counter-attacking team, lots of pace, Jamie Vardy, Harvey Barnes and James Maddison pulling the strings in behind them. Maybe that’s why they’ve struggled at home, because teams come and play deep with a low block and they’ve found that difficult. I think this will be a very open game. Jose Mourinho and Brendan have that history at Chelsea (Rodgers was at Chelsea under Jose, 2004-07), so it’s an intriguing technical, tactical battle. Leicester have been a completely different team on the road, so anyone looking at the result against Everton this week (lost 2-0 at the KP) and thinking this will be easy for Spurs, that would be a mistake. I’m going for a draw. One player to look out for – Wesley Fofana. He turned 20 earlier this week and is a future star. He looks the business.”
