Follow all the action from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Follow live coverage as Tottenham Hotspur face Leicester City 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.
