THE LOWDOWN
LEICESTER
- Under the management of Brendan Rodgers, Leicester City come into this on the back of a thrilling but much-needed 4-2 win away at Aston Villa last weekend, in their most recent outing. The Foxes begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting just three points outside of the bottom three and the relegation places.
- Wilfred Ndidi is available again following a personal issue and Rodgers could bring the Nigerian straight into defensive midfield, but the Leicester boss may otherwise keep faith with the side that saw off Aston Villa, with debutant Tete particularly impressive in that contest.
TOTTENHAM
- Antonio Conte has returned to work following surgery on a gallbladder last week. He returns to a Tottenham Hotspur side that enjoyed a slender but deserved 1-0 win over Manchester City last weekend. Spurs are keeping the pressure on both Newcastle and Manchester United in the top four.
- There are some issues at the back to contend with as Hugo Lloris will miss up to two months of action with a knee injury while Cristian Romero is suspended, so Fraser Forster and Davinson Sanchez are poised to deputise.
THE TEAM NEWS

THE PREDICTION
Leicester’s much-needed win at Aston Villa was important for what is to come as much as it was important for what it has followed. The home team face a returning to form Tottenham team this weekend before a trip to Old Trafford to face Manchester United and then they host Premier League league leaders Arsenal at the end of the month, all whilst sitting just a few points and places above the drop zone. Tottenham have the extra complication and distraction of a vital UEFA Champions League Round of 16 first-leg tie in Italy on Tuesday as they face AC Milan at San Siro. Leicester will be aware of how vital it is to pick up points at the King Power, especially given their upcoming fixtures, whilst Tottenham have made a habit of following up big and impressive results, such as last week, with under par performances in the next match.
TIP: LEICESTER TO WIN
