Jamie Vardy. Last season he was one of the main reasons for Leicester City’s stupendous title success. However, he is without a goal this campaign since September 10. With the Foxes struggling to replicate the same dynamism in attack that made them such a joy to watch six months ago, it is imperative that the England striker finds his shooting boots sooner rather than later.

The past three meetings between these teams were in January 2016 (two FA Cup matches and a Premier League clash).
Remember when…
Harry Kane scored his first Premier League hat-trick in March 2015 as Tottenham held off a valiant effort from the Foxes to claim a 4-3 win? Leicester seemed dead certs for relegation at this point, but managed to pull themselves out of the mire. We all know what happened next.
Player to watch…
Hugo Lloris. The Frenchman has been described by Eric Dier as the best keeper in the top-flight and his composure and speed off his line has been key to Tottenham’s recent success. His jaw-dropping scoop off the line from Javier Hernandez’s goalbound effort in the Champions League also demonstrated his remarkable shot-stopping abilities.
