Merson's predictions
It will be a difficult match for the Spurs, as Leicester was competitive and defended well against the big teams. It is their opponent who can try to counter the pace of Jamie Vardy, while James Maddison and Demarai Gray are also in the game. .
However, although this is a difficult test, I still see the Spurs falling again on the line … they continue to win, which is their main concern – you do not earn any extra points for a 6-0 win.
