Leicester City v Tottenham Hotspur: match preview

Leicester City v Tottenham Hotspur
Leicester City v Tottenham Hotspur: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

This week’s capture of the Swiss international Gokhan Inler for £5m added to the happy vibes that Leicester City have been emitting since their dashing start to the season under Claudio Ranieri. It will be interesting to whether Inler’s arrival will lead to the manager tinkering with a line-up that has recorded wins in their first two matches. Tottenham need to improve the support to Harry Kane and wring more resilience from a defence that folded late against Stoke last week if they are to stop Leicester making it three wins in a row. Paul Doyle
