Tottenham vs Leicester City LIVE score: Premier League commentary stream, TV channel, line-ups, prediction

Tottenham vs Leicester City LIVE
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: Wembley Stadium
Kick-off: 1:30pm GMT, today
Referee: Michael Oliver

Tottenham continue their unexpected Premier League title challenge this afternoon as Leicester City head to Wembley hoping to end Spurs' winning run.

Few would have expected Spurs to be among the title contenders given a lack of signings, delays to their new stadium and injuries to key players, but Mauricio Pochettino's side sit just eight off leaders Liverpool with a game in hand.

Tottenham have ground out late League victories against Fulham, Watford and Newcastle to stay in contention, and another win on Sunday would set Spurs up for a potentially spectacular run-in with the likes of Harry Kane and Dele Alli on the comeback trail.

Score prediction: Tottenham 2-1 Leicester

Spurs have shown real grit of late to get over the line late on in games, and Pochettino will expect more of the same against a Leicester side who have lost three of their last four League games to leave Claude Puel under pressure.

The Foxes will hope to sit deep, soak up pressure and break on the counter - a tactic Spurs have struggled with of late - but the hosts should have enough to see off the visitors at Wembley.

Don't put your money on a draw, as Spurs have set a Premier League record by going 29 games without sharing the spoils.

The match will be shown live on Sky Sports' Premier League and Main Event channels, and is available via Now TV with a day pass on offer for £7.99. Sky Sports subscribers can stream the match online via SkyGo and the SkyGo app.

Head to Head history (h2h) and results

The sides have met 25 times in the Premier League, with each team winning 10 games.

While Tottenham won 2-0 earlier this season at the King Power Stadium, the teams have shared some dramatic results in recent years - Spurs beat the Foxes 5-4 at Wembley on the final day of last season, and beat Leicester 6-1 away in 2017 as Harry Kane bagged four goals en route to a Golden Boot triumph.
