Pressure building on Ange Postecoglou with Spurs on a dismal run in the Premier League
Tottenham host Leicester looking for their first Premier League win in over a month.
Pressure is building on Ange Postecoglou after a run of six games without a victory since Spurs beat Southampton 5-0 on December 15.
That run leaves Spurs languishing down in 15th place and the visit of struggling Leicester, who have suffered seven straight Premier League defeats, feels like a crunch game.
Here’s everything you need to know...
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London will host.
TV channel and live stream: The game will not be broadcast in the UK.
Free highlights: The Sky Sports App and YouTube channel will provide free highlights. UK-based supporters can also watch highlights for free on Match of the Day Two when it airs at 10.30pm GMT on BBC One on Sunday.

Antonin Kinsky and Sergio Reguilon and Min-hyeok Yang are all available, with none of them registered for the first stage of the Europa League.
Guglielmo Vicario, Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Destiny Udogie, Timo Werner, Wilson Odobert, Brennan Johnson and Dominic Solanke are all out. Romero has returned to Tottenham training but is unlikely to feature.

For Leicester, new signing Woyo Coulibaly could be available but all of Mads Hermansen, Ricardo Pereira, Wilfred Ndidi and Abdul Fatawu are injured.
Spurs may be in dire form but their attacking players surely have enough to overcome Leicester, who are one of few teams in the league in worse form than them.
The Foxes have lost seven on the spin and new manager Ruud van Nistelrooy is already under pressure. Anything less than a win for Spurs would be a disaster.
