Spurs under big pressure ahead of Premier League visit of the Foxes
Tottenham are under pressure to put struggling Leicester to the sword in the Premier League on Sunday.
Amid what has been a dreadful run of form, Tottenham at least beat Hoffenheim in the Europa League on Thursday night to raise some confidence.
It remains to be seen if that really was enough to provide some kind of turning point for Ange Postecoglou’s side, with Spurs having been torn apart in the first-half of their last League outing at Everton.
Spurs have lost seven of their last ten League games and failing to beat a Foxes side second from bottom in the Premier League table would only pile more pressure on Postecoglou.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.
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. Supporters can also watch highlights for free on Match of the Day Two when it airs at 10.30pm GMT on Sunday.

Spurs remain without a whole host of first-team players. Pape Matar Sarr was the latest to have been ruled out, with the midfielder having suffered a knock in training before the Hoffenheim game.
There is hope both Sarr and Yves Bissouma will return for the Leicester clash. The likes of Antonin Kinsky, Djed Spence, Sergio Reguilon and Min-hyeok Yang will all be available too, 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 on Sunday.

For the Foxes, 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 at home.
