Spurs bid to get back to winning ways in the Premier League as they welcome struggling Leicester to north London. Ange Postecoglou’s side have lost seven of their last 10 league games and failure to beat a Leicester, who have lost seven on the bounce and are near-certainties for relegation, would pile more pressure on Postecoglou.

Tottenham’s injury crisis has deepened with Dominic Solanke ruled out for six weeks with a knee injury, and concerns over Djed Spence, Pape Sarr and Yves Bissouma. It leaves Ange Postecoglou with a skeleton squad, though Cristian Romero is nearing a return.
