6'
A raking ball from Lamela finds Aurier in space on the right of the Leicester box. He cushions the ball perfectly but balloons his attempted cross behind for a goal kick.
3'
A snap shot from Kane from distance now, comfortably gathered by Schmeichel. A lively old start here.
3'
Now Son has a look for Spurs. Lamela lays him in on the right of the Leicester area, and from a wide angle he drags his shot across the goal and away to safety.
1'
An early chance for Leicester, as Tielemans finds Barnes near the Spurs area. He steps over the pass, Maddison returns it to him instantly into the area but Barnes can't get it under control and it runs through to Gazzaniga.

Peep peep, we're underway...
12:25
We’re just about ready to go here. The captains Kasper Schmeichel and Harry Kane are ready to bring the teams out from the tunnel into a glorious Leicestershire afternoon. Officiating today’s larks will be Paul Tierney.
12:20
Although Tottenham have won the last three league fixtures between the two sides Leicester’s home record against them is very good, having won ten times in total. The Foxes will be wary of Harry Kane though; the Spurs captain often fills his boots against Leicester and has registered 13 times against them in just 12 games during his career.
12:15
Tottenham are, thanks to goal difference, currently fourth in the Premier League. That somewhat belies a patchy run on form at the start of 2019/20, exacerbated in European competition on Wednesday when they lost a comfortable lead to draw 2-2 at Olympiakos. In 2019 they have only won 10 of their 23 Premier League games but, as we all remember, they reached their first ever Champions League final in Madrid in June. Mauricio Pochettino’s team are the most enigmatic in the Premier League; can they blag a victory here and get in position for a title challenge this season?
12:10
Leicester started the Premier League in good form, drawing two and then winning two, before a surprisingly flat performance in their defeat at Old Trafford a week ago. Since taking over as manager at the end of February, Brendan Rodgers has set Leicester on an upwardly mobile course in the Premier League. A win here would, if only temporarily, vault the Foxes into second place in the table.
12:05
A raft of changes for Tottenham today after their midweek exertions in Greece. There are six in total, as Gazzaniga, Aurier, Rose, Sissoko, Lamela and Son all come into the team.

There are two changes for Leicester from their recent visit to Old Trafford. Gray and Choudhury drop to the bench, replaced by Barnes and Perez.
