Tottenham limped over the line in the race for Champions League qualification, scraping a 1-0 success at home to Newcastle on Wednesday, and look poor-value favourites to beat Leicester at Wembley.

Having achieved their main objective, Spurs may play with a little more freedom.

However, Leicester are a dangerous side on the counter-attack and confidence has risen after their 3-1 success at home to Arsenal.

They could give Spurs a tough game and look tempting at odds-against in receipt of a 1.5-goal start on the Asian handicap.

Recommendation
Leicester +1.5 on Asian handicap
1pt 12-11 188Bet
