Monday night’s 8:00 PM kickoff brings the final fixture of the first round of Premier League action, with Championship winners Leicester City hosting a Tottenham side eager to make a strong push for the top four.
Leicester faced a challenging transfer window, losing both their manager Enzo Maresca and star midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to Chelsea.
In contrast, Tottenham have invested heavily this summer, spending over £100 million to bolster their squad as they aim to improve on last season’s narrow miss of Champions League qualification.

The departure of Kelechi Iheanacho to Sevilla leaves a significant void, and with Jamie Vardy now 37 and questions over his ability to perform at his old Premier League level despite last season’s 18 goals, the pressure is mounting.
Steve Cooper will be relying heavily on Issahaku Fatawu to step up, following his 19 contributions last season.
All signs point to Steve Cooper walking into a daunting challenge at King Power Stadium, and it’s hard to see how he will avoid the fate of becoming this season’s whipping boys.
Their failure to score in pre-season friendlies against Lens, Augsburg, and Palermo, even with strong lineups, only foreshadows the struggles ahead.
Dominic Solanke has arrived in North London but many are questioning his £55 million price tag?
On the surface, his solitary assist in eight appearances against last season’s top four might suggest otherwise.
When you consider that this fee surpasses what Manchester City paid for Haaland and is only slightly less than Atletico Madrid’s outlay for Julian Alvarez in the same window, it’s hard to argue that this represents good value, even though Solanke had more time remaining on his contract.
This transfer seems to indicate a lack of confidence in the Brennan Johnson project after just one season.
Spurs are still grappling with a key center-forward dilemma that Solanke may not immediately resolve.
This squad remains largely unchanged from the one that started last season with such promise, so Solanke’s arrival, alongside recent Burnley acquisition Wilson Odobert, could be seen as an added bonus.
Eighteen-year-old Archie Gray has displayed impressive confidence on the ball during pre-season, and paired with Pedro Porro, who notched 10 goal contributions last summer, he could become a crucial part of the aggressive wing-back play and high-tempo style that defined Ange’s approach last season.
