Leicester City welcome Tottenham Hotspur to the King Power Stadium this afternoon as the Premier League season draws to a close.
The game could have major ramifications in the race for Champions League and Europa League football, with Leicester seeking a top-four finish and Spurs hoping to end up in the top six.
Leicester were FA Cup final winners against Chelsea two weeks ago but lost to the Blues in their next – and most recent – outing. Tottenham, meanwhile, fell to a 2-1 loss against visitors Aston Villa. As such, Leicester are fifth in the table, behind fourth-placed Liverpool on goal difference, and Spurs are seventh – three points behind sixth West Ham but with a better goal difference.
