Paul Merson has tipped Tottenham to ‘fall over the line again’ when they face Leicester City this weekend.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side have managed to grind out results during a difficult spell in which they have been without a number of players, including Harry Kane.[phone]

And pundit Merson, in his predictions for Sky Sports, suggested Spurs will manage to pick up three more points against the Foxes.
The former Arsenal and England forward said: “This will be a hard game for Spurs as Leicester have been competing and doing well against the big teams – those sides have a go at them and they can counterattack with the pace of Jamie Vardy, while you also have James Maddison and Demarai Gray in support.
“However, despite this being a tough test, I do still see Spurs falling over the line again… they keep on winning, which is the main thing for them – you do not get any extra points for winning 6-0.”
Merson also predicted that Chelsea will not be able to cope with Manchester City’s attacking players on Sunday.
“I think City will win this as I just do not see how Chelsea defensively can keep them quiet on their ground and the way they pass and move it,” he said.
