Tottenham travel to Leicester City in the Premier League today as the race for European football comes to a head.
The clash is set to prove crucial as Leicester pursue a place in the top four and Tottenham seek to finish in sixth place.
Leicester lifted the FA Cup after overcoming Chelsea two weeks ago but were beaten by Thomas Tuchel’s players in their next – and most recent – match. Spurs, meanwhile, suffered a 2-1 loss at home to Aston Villa last time out. As such, Leicester are fifth in the standings, behind fourth-placed Liverpool on goal difference, and Spurs are seventh – three points behind London rivals West Ham in sixth but with a better goal difference.
