Tottenham vs Leicester City: Preview, Team News, Prediction and Where to Watch

Tottenham Hotspur vs Leicester City will take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday in what should be considered as the biggest fixture of the Premier League weekend. Spurs are in second with 25 points after their defeat to Liverpool, while Leicester find themselves just one point behind their opponents on 24 points. 

Spurs were unlucky to go down through a late goal from Roberto Firmino against Liverpool as they surrendered top spot in the table and leaving Jurgen Klopp’s men three points ahead of them.  Leicester on the other hand have now tasted their fourth defeat in seven home league games, losing to Carlo Ancelotti’s Everton 2-0 and now trail the foxes by just one point.
