Tottenham Hotspur won't ultimately win the Premier League this year, but Mauricio Pochettino is still insisting upon his club finishing out the season in tip top form. The Spurs have already locked up second best in England at this point regardless of what happens in these last two fixtures though, so Leicester City might have a shot at beating the runners-up in the league.

Odds Analysis
With as well as Tottenham has played down the stretch, it's hard to bet against it, even in a fixture that doesn't mean anything, technically speaking. The Spurs are -150 on the moneyline and are going to be favored by a goal on the Asian Handicap. Still, Leicester City is very live at +330 for sure, even with the short total of 2.5 with -130 vig on the over.
Key Injuries
The two really young players on this roster, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Josh Onomah are both going to miss the rest of the season for Tottenham. They were both called up to play in the U-20 World Cup for their respective nations, and with second place already wrapped up, there's no sense in them not traveling to South Korea for their nations. Aside from that, Poch has a relatively healthy team on his side, and these two youngsters won't be missed for these meaningless duels.
Leicester City lost Daniel Drinkwater for the season to a thigh injury last week, and he'll likely join Robert Huth on the touchline for this one. Andy King limped off last week against Manchester City as well, and though he isn't necessarily ruled out at this point, he probably won't suit up either for the Foxes.
Recent Form
Leicester City has been in pretty darn good form since canning Claudio Ranieri. Craig Shakespeare has been a savior for this team this year, and the opportunity is there to finish in the top half of the table after being threatened by relegation for much of the first half of the season. The Foxes were unlucky against Manchester City in a loss at the Etihad, and that ended a two-match winning streak that helped finish off any potential doubts of relegation.
Tottenham finished off its time at White Hart Lane with a great victory over Manchester United. That gave the team 10 wins in its last 11 fixtures. Even had it not lost to West Ham, there's a good chance that Chelsea wasn't going to relent anyway, and with the Blues now guaranteed to finish at the top of the table, there's nothing left to play for. That said, that shouldn't take anything away from what the Spurs have accomplished down the stretch to get into the UCL for next season.
Free Soccer Betting Pick
The end of the season doesn't necessarily produce the best matches in the world in the EPL, but this could be a real exception to the rule. The Foxes have been all over the place offensively and have threatened even the best keepers in England in this stretch since Shakespeare took over.
Harry Kane though, has played some of the best soccer for players up front in the entire world of late, and his goal against Manchester United will forever be one of the best moments in the last season at WHL.
It's really hard to pick a winner of this one; we could see it going either way. But what we do expect are a lot of chances on goal, and both teams are probably going to find the back of the net. We wouldn't be shocked if they both did it twice in what could be a cracker of a match.
