To that end, Leicester have actually played four games less than West Ham, who are in 4th place with 37 points.
Attacking from home

It is mainly in home games that Leicester have picked up the most points so far. From nine home games, the Foxes have picked up 16 points from a possible 27. The last three home games, all of which the Foxes won, showed that Leicester are on the up.

Predicted line-up – last update on 17 January 2022
Leicester City made a very compact appearance recently. The Foxes create their goal threat mainly through a strong centre. A six-pointer clears, whereas two players with strong passing skills pass the balls on to the attack. With Vardy up front, there is always a receiver. Against Liverpool, Leicester played a 4-3-1-2 formation.
Tottenham try to succeed with a 3-4-3 system. Spurs play with tall full-backs who run up and down the respective sides as track players. In addition, the four-man midfield should distribute the balls to the wings, where Son and Moura are waiting to set Kane in scene.
