--------------------------------------
Tottenham
Ang Postecoglou is visibly irritated by questions from journalists regarding his future at the club – possibly because he recognizes that his time at Tottenham is running out. Previous managers have been sacked for less disappointing runs, and Jose Mourinho was dismissed just before the League Cup final, a match that could have ended the club’s long trophy drought.

Last weekend, Tottenham suffered a 3-2 defeat to Everton. This means the Londoners have gathered only one point from their last six matches, leaving them in 15th place. The Champions League qualification dream is likely far from their minds as they find themselves much closer to the relegation zone than the top four.

Currently, Tottenham is on course to replicate their worst Premier League performance in the last 31 years. Speculations about Ang Postecoglou’s future are, therefore, quite justified. Moreover, Everton's recent example has shown Daniel Levy how managerial changes can positively impact a team that has lost its confidence. For Postecoglou, each subsequent match might be his last in charge of Tottenham.

Finally tasting victory midweek, the Spurs managed to defeat Bundesliga strugglers Hoffenheim 3-2, thanks to a goal from James Maddison and a brace from Son Heung-min, bringing them closer to the Europa League Round of 16.

Leicester
The "Foxes" are enduring their longest losing streak in the Premier League in over 20 years, having lost seven consecutive matches. In their last four games, Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side has failed to score a single goal, and they have only managed a clean sheet once this season - back in early October against Bournemouth (1-0). Despite this, Leicester's league position is not yet critical, trailing the safety line in 17th place by just two points. However, the next eleven days could prove decisive for their fate in the league.

Firstly, the winter transfer window closes on February 3, and Leicester has completed only one transfer deal so far, bringing in Voye Koulibaly. This reinforcement is unlikely to resolve all of the team’s problems since they need support in every line.

Secondly, the "Foxes" face two crucial matches - against struggling Tottenham and Everton, who are also battling for survival. It’s vital for Leicester not only to break their losing streak but also to accumulate at least four points. Following that, starting February 15, they face a series of tough matches against league leaders, where securing positive results will be challenging.

It’s possible that Ruud van Nistelrooy won't see this tough stretch through if he fails to ensure success in matches against Tottenham and Everton. Many Leicester fans now consider the Dutch manager’s resignation the only chance of preserving their Premier League status.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Kinsky; Porro, Gray, Dragusin, Davies; Sarr, Bentancur, Maddison; Kulusevski, Richarlison, Son

Leicester City possible starting lineup:
Stolarczyk; Justin, Faes, Vestergaard, Kristiansen; Skipp, Soumare; McAteer, El Khannouss, Mavididi; Vardy

Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 Leicester City
Even in their current state - both fitness-wise and results-wise - a Spurs side who rarely come up short in front of goal should run into few obstacles against an ailing Leicester outfit this weekend. Postecoglou's men gave themselves a much-needed shot in the arm in midweek and have our backing to ease their demotion fears at the expense of Leicester's.
