Leicester City vs Tottenham
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: King Power Stadium
Kick-off: 7.45pm, December 8
Tottenham travel to Leicester City this evening knowing three points will consolidate their top four status ahead of the busy festive period.
Mauricio Pochettino's side have won 11 of their 15 Premier League games this season to climb above Chelsea into third in the table. However, Spurs tasted defeat on their last visit to the King Power Stadium and that will hand Leicester a psychological boost.
The Foxes continued their run of six games without defeat when they drew 1-1 at Fulham on Wednesday, but this will be a much tougher test for Claude Puel's side.
Their two home defeats this season have come against Liverpool and Everton, teams who are currently above them in the table, and Spurs could be next on the list.
