Tottenham vs Leicester City

Spurs get us started in the second period. 3:03PM. The players are back out. Another goal for Spurs wraps the game up, but Leicester will be encouraged by ...

After a couple of sleepy attacking performances, Spurs could do with a bright start to get the crowd onside. Emerson gets down the right and his deflected cross wins Spurs a corner. That was a better move from Spurs with Dier switching play to Romero and Son coming short to lay the ball off to Kane. He looks for Sessegnon on the left and Spurs win a corner. Brilliant driving run down the right from Soumare who had far too much gas for Davies, and the low cross ran all the way to Daka near the penalty spot and his shot cracked against the foot of the post. Spurs dropping off into their shape and allowing Leicester's back three to keep the ball in front of them. This time Schmeichel comes to take a looping Davies cross but he collided with a mixture of Romero and Thomas. Good defending from Castagne to stop Spurs rolling the ball into an unguarded net. Good work from Amartey and Mendy to smother Kane on the halfway line as he tried to to control and turn. Leicester gave up a soft goal from a corner, as is their tendency, but have enjoyed some strong periods and hit the post before Kane's goal. Amartey with a loose pass in his own half though, but Spurs do not attack quickly enough to maximise the chance. Conte stalking on the touchline and might be considering a change. Romero tries to force a through ball to Lucas Moura who down under the challenge of Soyuncu but Moss told him to get up. Almost an immediate impact from Kulusevski who skipped through a couple of Leicester challenges but then lost his balance and the ball ran out for a goal kick.

Tottenham will move into the top four of the Premier League - at least for a couple of hours - if they beat Leicester on Sunday.

James Maddison and Jonny Evans are also contenders to be rested. Yet Spurs cannot afford to look ahead to that game yet. Their task on Sunday might be made easier by Leicester's ongoing participation in continental competition. After a 4-0 thumping of Aston Villa earlier this month, things were looking up for Antonio Conte's side. A 1-0 home defeat by Brighton was followed by a 0-0 draw with Brentford last weekend.

Here's the Tottenham Hotspur team Antonio Conte has chosen to face Leicester City in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

However, in a surprise move on the pitch ahead of him he has taken Dejan Kulusevski out of the team with Lucas Moura starting in his place. Youngster Matthew Craig is also on the bench. The main team selection poser seemed to be at wing-back for Conte and he has chosen to continue with Emerson Royal, with Matt Doherty out injured for the remainder of the season.

Further forward, Barnes, Perez, and Iheanacho or Daka could form the front three unless Rodgers wants to keep Maddison in on the right-hand side. Rodgers says in his pre-match interview that the pair have been left at home as a precaution. Tielemans and Dewsbury-Hall finally get a break, with Soumare making his first appearance since March. Meanwhile, City have actually had the first shot of the game, Perez cutting inside Moura well and firing into the side-netting. He appeals for a corner and he should have got one. City have dropped out of the top half of the Premier League table after Saturday's games and he will be keen for his side to take that back. The two times they have, Albrighton has given it away. With City's hopes of a top-seven finish in the Premier League practically over, a trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is not building excitement or nerves like it usually does. Perez lobs the ball over Hojbjerg, then brings it down on his chest and volleys. A let-off for Mendy. Considerable changes to the starting line-up are expected though. This Spurs team don't typically dominate possession, but they are doing so here.

Grabbed another assist with his corner for Kane and then fired home himself on the hour mark with a clinical turn and finish. Sent a header over from Sessegnon's cross late in the half. The one time he did he picked out Lucas for a chance towards the end of the first half. Dominated in midfield for much of the match, setting the tone with some crunching tackles in the centre of the pitch in the early stages. Less to do from an attacking sense as those in front did the work, and that suited him perfectly and helped him concentrate on his defending, which was very good. Made a superb early save to tip Daka's shot onto the right-hand post and, in the second half, flew out to deny Iheanacho. Didn't have much to do, but what he did was important and stopped the game from turning.

The number of times he turned over possession was amazing, and he actually used the ball very positively. On the ball and in the air he was also very reliable. Still battled hard in the engine room though and offered a lot. However, Davies did offer a lot going the other way on the underlap. For Tottenham’s second, he won back-to-back challenges to start the move. Emerson Royal – 7 – Some good work defensively, particularly in the air when defending crosses.

Two second-half goals from Heung-Min Son set the seal on a much-deserved home win over Leicester City on Sunday afternoon.

It’s not easy to beat Leicester and to win, for us, was important because we continue to stay in the race for the Champions League. We have to enjoy this moment. Son was later afforded a standing ovation as he was replaced by the man who stole the show in the reverse fixture, Steven Bergwijn, but Leicester continued to try to carve out chances and shortly after substitute Jamie Vardy's 89th-minute header flew just wide, Iheanacho collected the ball and ran towards the box before squeezing a low shot inside Lloris' left-hand post in the first of three added minutes. The players have worked very hard, and they deserve to stay in this race. Collecting Kulusevski's pass in from the right, he turned onto his left foot and curled an excellent shot onto a postage stamp in the far top corner from 20 yards - Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg could only look on with both hands on his head in disbelief as we celebrated a terrific strike! Romero then won a header at the back post and fell onto Schmeichel but after Kane recycled the loose ball, Lucas couldn't take advantage as he found his path blocked inside the area. Kulusevski was again the provider, playing a short sideways pass to the South Korean attacker and he curled a sumptuous left-footed shot into the top corner from 20 yards, beating Kasper Schmeichel all ends up.
