Claudio Ranieri's 100% record as boss of Leicester City faces a tough test at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur, who are looking to improve on their disappointing one point for the season so far.
Slow start for Tottenham
Pochettino's men won both league fixtures between the sides last season, including an entertaining 4-3 win at White Hart Lane. However, much has changed in the form of these two sides, with City scoring six goals in two games sitting in second place in the Premier League. Spurs only kept four clean sheets away from home last season, so their defence will undoubtedly be in for a tough challenge.
Leicester's fine start has been largely down to their front and wide men - all of whom have have contributed with goals. Jamie Vardy and Japanese international Shinji Okazaki have led the line superbly, linking up well and chipping in with a goal each.
Riyad Mahrez has been on many pundits' lips - and rightly so - with three goals in the opening two games and running riot down the right flank, he is certainly a player Tottenham will struggle to contain.
Something of an unsung hero, a man not receiving too much praise is winger, Marc Albrighton. So far this season, he creates a chance (on average) every 29.1 minutes, which is the third best in the league so far. The winger also has three goals and five assists in his last seven Premier League games - an impressive stat to coincide with his team taking 28 points from a possible 33.
Inler to start on the bench?
With Leicester playing so positively in recent games, new signing Gokhan Inler may not even get a look in, as Ranieri could name the same side for a third consecutive game. Though, the 'Tinkerman' could still wish to keep Spurs guessing.
City's attacking play has been barely defendable so far this season, and if Tottenham want to take anything back to North London, they need to play with more intensity than they have done this campaign. Harry Kane also needs to be fed the ball more, as he has not kicked off his season in quite the emphatic fashion he did last year.
Spurs could also wish to take advantage of Leicester's lack of possession in games. Though they must be clinical. A consistent criticism of Pochettino's side is that they have too many players coming short for the ball, and not enough making runs forward. City will thrive on sideways passing, waiting for a chance to pounce and punish Spurs for their hesitation in the final third.
Leicester will likely be making another exciting performance to earn wins in their opening three matches in the top flight for the first time in their existence. Spurs will be looking to prove they still have something to offer this season.
The King Power Stadium could well be be in for a number of goals, and this fixture is certainly one for the neutral.
