The second face fourth in the Premier League this weekend as dethroned league leaders Tottenham welcomes Leicester at Tottenhma Hotspurs Stadium. The match schedules for Sunday with kickoff at 5:15 pm.
Only one point separates the two sides in the standings, but they are both coming off into game off the back of disappointing defeats to Meyerside oppositions.
Both Spurs and Leicester head into the match, coming off disappointing results in the midweek showdown. Only five points separate fifth from tenth, and a loss this Sunday could see them surrender their lofty positions.
Tottenham faced a far worse defeat against Liverpool after a late minute header from Roberto Firmino ending in a defeat at Anfield. The match saw Jose Mourinho lose out on three glorious chances in a smash and grab a win.
The loss saw the side maintain the second position with 25 points from 13 games is eight more than they had at the same stage of last season. The defeat at Anfield marked their first since the opening day of the season. It adds to successive victories over the leading sides, including Southampton, Manchester United, and Manchester City.
Leicester City has been prone to an odd slip-up though their spot in the top four remains despite three defeats in their last five league games. Leicester has only one win in their last nine league matches against Tottenham.
