Dominic Solanke to score anytime
Tottenham finally have their big money striker through the doors having confirmed the signing of Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth earlier this month. Solanke scored 19 times for the Cherries last season and the hope is he can transfer his superb goalscoring form to north London. While he's had limited time to get up to speed with his new teammates, the 26-year-old should benefit from a system that is tailor made to his skill set, and we feel he'll get his campaign up and running tonight.
Pape Sarr to be carded
Pape Sarr saw his good form in a Spurs shirt rewarded with a new contract at the turn of the year. The Senegal international established himself as a first team regular under Ange Postecoglou last season and while he is a fan favourite, he has a knack for picking up cards. Indeed, no Spurs player was carded more times than Sarr (9) in the Premier League last season, while he has been booked in three of his last four top-flight outings. Chris Kavanagh, who is the man in charge of tonight's game at the King Power, has booked Sarr in the last two Spurs games he has officiated.
Wilfred Ndidi - Over 0.5 fouls
The midfield battle could prove key in tonight's game between Leicester and Tottenham, with Wilfred Ndidi expected to start alongside former Spurs man Harry Winks in the middle of the park on home turf. While Ndidi doesn't necessarily find himself in hot water with officials, the Nigeria international still averaged 1.4 fouls per 90 in the Championship last season. Spurs were the most fouled side in England's top tier last term, so the 27-year-old to commit at least one foul is good value for this bet builder.
