Leicester City v Tottenham: match preview

This article is more than 5 years old

A tricky match for Tottenham to negotiate, not least because they have a critical Champions League tie away against Barcelona on Tuesday. Three points would give Spurs their best top-flight record after 16 matches since the 1960-61 season. Jan Vertonghen is back from suspension but Kieran Trippier and Juan Foyth are out. Leicester welcome back Harry Maguire after a five-week absence but they are still missing Jamie Vardy, who has a groin problem, leaving the onus on Kelechi Iheanacho to rediscover his touch in front of goal.
