Premier League action continues as undefeated squad Leicester City FC (2-0-0, 6 points) faces off with hard-luck team Tottenham Hotspur (0-1-1, 1 point) at their home field of King Power Stadium in Leicester, England on August 22.

Blue Army manager Claudio Ranieri hopes to continue what is shaping to be his dream season after two straight wins against Sunderland AFC and West Ham United FC in the early goings of this year's English league season.

The Foxes last match was a 2-1 road beat down of West Ham at the Boleyn Ground last Saturday. Japanese forward Shinji Okazaki and Algerian midfielder Riyad Mahrez provided the goals all in the first half for the East Midlands residents, as reported by The Guardian.

West Ham tried to fight back with a goal from French midfielder Dimitri Payet in the 55th-minute, but the Hammers would get no closer than that.

Meanwhile, the Spurs have not recorded their first victory yet in the ongoing season as they lost to Manchester United in their opener and settled for a 2-2 draw against Stoke City FC during their second game.

Tottenham started hot against the Potters, immediately going up 2-0 in the first half with goals from defender Eric Dier and midfielder Nacer Chadli. Stoke countered with two of their own winners in the second half to equalize the count, as per Bleacher Report.

The predicted result is a 1-0 win for Ranieri's boys. They are on a roll opening the season and they will continue winning until they face a favorite team.

Leicester City starting lineup (4-4-2 formation): Schmeichel; Schlupp, Laet, Huth, Morgan; Albrighton, Mahrez, Drinkwater, King; Vardy, Okazaki

Tottenham Hotspur starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Lloris; Alderweireld, Walker, Davies, Vertonghen; Chadli, Mason; Eriksen, Dier, Dembélé; Kane
