Tottenham Hotspur face Leicester City in the Premier League with the hosts looking to climb from 15th in the table after a terrible run of form.
Ange Postecoglou’s side have lost four of their last five matches in the league, leaving the Australian facing questions over his future at the club.
But today brings a great opportunity to ease the pressure and climb up the table as they face a Leicester side sitting in 19th.
The Foxes’ results have not improved since Ruud van Nistelrooy took charge, with seven losses and one draw from nine games meaning they sit two points adrift of safety.
