Leicester City<\/a> will start life back in the Premier League<\/a> on Monday night when they welcome Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> to the King Power Stadium.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Predicted XIs:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Leicester City (4-2-3-1):<\/strong> Hermansen; Pereira, Faes, Vestergaard, Kristiansen; Winks, Ndidi; Fatawu, Decordova-Reid, Mavididi; Daka.<\/p>\n

Tottenham Hotspur (4-3-3):<\/strong> Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Gray, Sarr, Maddison; Kulusevski, Son, Solanke.<\/p>\n

Going up as winners of the Championship ahead of fellow promoted sides Ipswich Town and Southampton last term, Leicester face a tough opener against a Spurs side that will be pushing for a return to the top four this season.<\/p>\n

This clash between the Foxes and the Lilywhites will kick off at 20:30 on Monday and will be shown live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League for UK viewers.<\/p>\n

Cooper looking to steady the ship<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The loss of manager Enzo Maresca to Chelsea over the summer was certainly not ideal for Leicester after the high of winning the Championship last season.<\/p>\n

Eventually, the club\u2019s hierarchy decided to give former Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper the role ahead of life back in the top flight.<\/p>\n

Leicester fans will have been disappointed to see star midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall follow Maresca to Chelsea over the summer, while the club have been fairly quiet on incoming signings.<\/p>\n

The most money has been spent on right-winger Issahaku Fatawu from Sporting Lisbon, while centre-back Caleb Okolu was the second most expensive arrival from Atalanta.<\/p>\n

Chelsea academy midfielder Michael Golding has moved to the King Power, while the Foxes snapped up Bobby De Cordova-Reid on a free transfer and Facundo Buonanotte on loan.<\/p>\n

With a points-deduction coming, it will be important for Cooper to try to hit the ground running with Leicester in their bid to avoid the drop back down to the Championship.<\/p>\n

    Time for Postecoglou to deliver<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Having had a first season at Tottenham to get his feet under the table, expectations are now for Australian manager Ange Postecoglou to deliver something tangible this term.<\/p>\n

    Whether it\u2019s ending the club’s wait for silverware or qualifying for the Champions League, Spurs must show signs of progress under the former Celtic boss.<\/p>\n

    The club have backed the Aussie tactician in the transfer market, spending around \u00a3100m to bring striker Dominic Solanke and midfielder Archie Gray from Bournemouth and Leeds United, respectively.<\/p>\n

    With Wilson Odobert, Lucas Bergvall, and Min-hyeok Yang coming to the club, Spurs have looked to increase their strength in depth ahead of the long campaign.<\/p>\n

    While Postecoglou has no fresh injuries ahead of Monday\u2019s trip to Leicester, midfielder Yves Bissouma has been suspended for an off-field incident.<\/p>\n
