As they approached this match, Tottenham<\/a> and Leicester<\/a> found themselves in two of the bottom three positions on the Premier League<\/a> form table.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both teams and Southampton had not won any of their last six matches. The Lilywhites earned just one point out of a possible 18, while the Foxes lost all their games during that stretch. It would be an understatement to say that both managers, Ange Postecoglou and Ruud van Nistelrooy, face considerable pressure.<\/p>\n

Leicester had already let go of one head coach this season, making it unlikely they would part ways with Steve Cooper’s successor. The Foxes aimed merely for survival in their first season back in the Premier League, while Tottenham were anticipated to achieve much more. Despite initial expectations, they have fallen short, and following today’s 1-2 defeat, Postecoglou’s position may be in jeopardy as the pressure to achieve results that match the club’s ambitions remains high.<\/p>\n
