For Leicester City, yesterday's match was very important to avoid the relegation zone. And even now Leicester City only has a difference of 1 point from the team in the relegation zone. And this is a tough task for Leicester City's new coach, Ruud van Nistelrooy. So this team did have greater motivation in yesterday's match against Tottenham.
On the one hand, Tottenham as the host of this match is indeed the favorite. because actually Tottenham deserves to be favored based on their performance this season compared to Leicester City. And even in yesterday's match, Tottenham actually took the lead in the first half. Unfortunately in the second half things turned around quickly and Leicester were able to maintain their lead until the end of the match. Leicester City cannot be underestimated this season, especially since they have a new coach who is quite competent like Ruud.
You see IPswitch and Leicester City, that two teams has demonstrated why the need for Championship division. IPswitch came there last two season, barely made it out from last season and now it seems faith has caught up with them again, nothing is working, winning 3 game out of 23 I'd very poor to be honest and Leicester City that came last season after doing well in the Championship only to be at relegation is a signed that they will end up there again.
I saw the short term Ruud Van performance as a manager in Manchester United but I have not seen the same thing, this could only be a clear indication of players probem, there is individual deficiency which need to be sorted out. If they can atleast stay strong and be able to avoid the relegation till the next season, Van Ruud can make some adjustment, sell who is not doing well or give them out as loan so they can get more competent players that can do the job else, they will be relegated again.
