Player to watch

Lucas Moura: The Brazilian put in another industrious display against Southampton and scored his first goal since Spurs’ victory at Wolves at the beginning of November by reacting quickest to the loose ball. He was substituted in the second half but with fixtures coming swiftly, having the Brazilian at his peak as much as possible to utilise his pace will be one of Mauricio Pochettino’s greatest challenges over the coming month.

​Good evening everybody...

The final Premier League game in a long day of footballing action.

With Chelsea ending Manchester City's unbeaten season and Arsenal also winning today, Tottenham have dropped two places in the table since this morning, while Leicester could go 7th with victory.

Just ten minutes until kick off at the King Power.

No Harry Kane or Christian Eriksen for Tottenham with a huge Champions League game looming at the Nou Camp. A gamble from Mauricio Pochettino.

Harry Maguire is back on the hosts' bench but Claude Puel has resisted the urge to bring him straight back into the starting lineup. Jamie Vardy is out, so Kelechi Iheanacho leads the line.

The players are on the pitch, shaking hands and readying themselves for action.

Saturday Night Football is here...

Craig Pawson blows his whistle, and the game kicks off.

1 minute

A 4-3-3 from Leicester with James Maddison wide on the left, and Vicente Iborra in between Nampalys Mendy and Wilfred Ndidi.

At least initially, Lucas Moura is Spurs' forward-most player. Heung-min Son on the left, Moussa Sissoko on the right and Dele Alli ahead of Harry Winks and Eric Dier.

3 minutes

Lucas Moura is fouled on the halfway line and takes it quickly, trying to knock one long for Heung-min Son.

Wes Morgan does well to get across with a serious speed differential between he and the South Korean, stepping across Son to move the ball out of danger.

5 minutes

Leung-Min Son has the chance to deliver a cross from a free kick wide on the right, but his delivery is very poor and not aided by Dele Alli's haphazard flick or Lucas Moura's misdirected header.

Subdued start for a Saturday night.

7 minutes

Wilfred Ndidi breaks in behind the Spurs defence as a launched pass bounces into his path.

Ndidi tries the spectacular as the ball hops over his shoulder, but finds only the welcoming arms of the crowd about 25 rows back. Wayward.
