LIVE: Tottenham vs Leicester

LIVE: Tottenham vs Leicester

23' The pace of the game has dropped slightly in the last few minutes, with Tottenham not showing much urgency to get after Leicester, letting them keep the ball in midfield.

21' Kane has scored 14 goals in just 10 Premier League appearances against Leicester, more than he’s netted versus any other opponent in the competition. Only Sergio Aguero (15 vs Newcastle for Man City) has scored more goals for a single club against a specific opponent in the competition’s history.

19' Good move! Tielemans lays the ball off to Maddison, who quickly turns and passes to Barnes, but his effort is blocked. The pressure continues, but Spurs clear.

17' Decent effort! Maddison tries to curl the ball into the top right-hand corner of the net. However, he gets too much on it and it flies over the Tottenham goal.

15' ALMOST! Kane breaks through on goal, he tries to work space for a shot at goal himself, but Leicester get players back and block off his route. The ball ends up coming to Son on the left and instead of shooting, he tries to cross to Ndombele at the far post, but the midfielder wasn't on his wavelength and the chance goes away.

14' CHANCE! Another Leicester free-kick, with Spurs fail to deal with, as Barnes meets it at the far post, he heads it back into the six-yard box, it bounces around dangerously, before falling to Vardy, who swings at it. However, his effort is blocked and Lloris then manages to gather.

12' Tottenham have everyone penned back inside their own half defending at the moment, including Son. Tielemans plays a quick lofted ball over the top of the Spurs defence, for Maddison to run onto, but Dier manages to clear.

10' Leicester have won just one of their last nine Premier League away games against Spurs (D2 L6), winning 1-0 at White Hart Lane in their 2015-16 title-winning season.

8' Leicester with the early possession in midfield, with Spurs dropping deep and soaking up the pressure early on, but no chances for either side just yet.

6' Free-kick to the visitors now, as Hojbjerg dives into the back of Maddison and gives away the needless set piece. First chance of the game for the Foxes to create something. However, the header by Fofana flies well over the bar.

4' Free-kick to Spurs in a good position after Castagne dives in and fouls Kane, giving the hosts a good opportunity to get the ball into the box. However, the delivery from Son is poor and Leicester clear the danger.

2' Early problem here for Tottenham, as Ndombele seems to be struggling a little bit after a challenge with Ndidi and Tielemans. However, the midfielder doesn't require any treatment and it looks like he will be fine to continue.

1' We're under way!

The teams are out on the pitch and kick off is almost upon us, stay tuned for all the match action!

Meanwhile Brendan Rodgers have made three changes to his side, with Evans, Castagne and Albrighton all coming into the team, replacing Fuchs, Mendy and Under who have dropped to the bench.

Jose Mourinho has made just two changes to his starting line-up, with Davies and Bergwijn dropping to the bench and they have been replaced by Reguilon and Ndombele.

LEICESTER SUBS: Nampalys Mendy, Kelechi Iheanacho, Luke Thomas, Christian Fuchs, Ayoze Perez, Cengiz Under, Dennis Praet, Danny Ward, Daniel Amartey.

LEICESTER (4-4-2): Kasper Schmeichel; James Justin, Wesley Fofana, Jonny Evans, Timothy Castagne; Wilfred Ndidi, Marc Albrighton, Youri Tielemans, James Maddison, Harvey Barnes, Jamie Vardy.

TOTTENHAM SUBS: Gareth Bale, Harry Winks, Carlos Vinicius, Steven Bergwijn, Joe Rodon, Matt Doherty, Ben Davies, Joe Hart, Lucas Moura.

TOTTENHAM (4-4-2): Hugo Lloris; Serge Aurier, Eric Dier, Toby Alderweireld, Sergio Reguilon; Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Moussa Sissoko, Tanguy Ndombele, Giovani Lo Celso, Son Heung-Min, Harry Kane.

Tottenham suffered a 2-1 defeat against Liverpool last time out, which saw Spurs drop down the table, ending an 11-game unbeaten streak in the league. Leicester also suffered a loss in their last game, as they were beaten 2-0 by Everton. 

Both teams can move up to second in the Premier League table with a victory today as Spurs are third and Leicester fourth, so they would leapfrog Everton who currently occupy that position.
