Leicester City vs Tottenham Hotspur LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from King Power Stadium
Follow live coverage as Leicester City face Tottenham Hotspur today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Leicester City vs Tottenham Hotspur
Fatawu has hardly had a kick all game, but he makes his chance count. The Leicester winger hovers on the right flank before lofting a perfect chip towards the back post for Vardy, who cannot miss from close range when unmarked.

SAVE! One-way traffic persists as Tottenham move the ball about freely. Johnson and Bentancur exchange passes inside the Leicester area before the latter fires straight at Hermansen, who catches the shot. Cooper needs his side to respond, or show some sort of fight. But hold on... they might have a chance!

Postecoglou will be desperate for a second goal to wrap up this game. Porro has tons of time to whip towards the far post, though his angled delivery just evades Solanke as Justin does enough.

SO CLOSE! Solanke almost finds a debut goal. Sarr touches through for the Spurs striker, who drills low towards the near post. Hermansen is equal to the effort, though, scrambling to parry behind after another warning sign from the visitors.

Maddison has been directly involved in 26 goals across his last 32 Premier League away appearances (11 goals, 15 assists). Will the England midfielder further that tally here? He is pulling all the strings.

Finally, it's better from Leicester. The hosts work it quickly before Vardy slots in De Cordova-Reid, whose shot is blocked before the offside flag goes up either way. That is the first real sign of intent from Cooper's side, almost an hour into this clash.

Porro is penalised for a foul on Kristiansen after Leicester hold off the advances of the masterful Maddison. The former Fox has called all the shots so far at the King Power.

Leicester have hardly come out firing on all cylinders, again sitting in and hoping to pick off possession when they can. This could be a grim return to top-flight football if it continues this way. Spurs win another corner on the right through Johnson.
