Tottenham will aim to continue their unbeaten start to the Premier League season after a midweek Champions League setback when they host struggling Leicester on Saturday.
A late collapse at Sporting CP on Tuesday saw Antonio Conte’s side slump to a 2-0 defeat in Lisbon, although they have taken 14 points from a possible 18 domestically this season.
Leicester’s form contrasts sharply. Brendan Rodgers’ team are bottom of the table with one point having lost all of their past five in the Premier League.
After being edged out by Chelsea and Manchester United in their previous two games, the Foxes were hammered 5-2 at Brighton last time out to increase the pressure on manager Rodgers.

Tottenham vs. Leicester lineups
Son Heung-min extended his run without a goal to eight matches this season in Lisbon and Conte could opt to take the Korean star out of the firing line and restore Dejan Kulusevski to his starting XI.
Clement Lenglet could come back into the back three in place of Ben Davies, while Conte has stated Emerson Royal is “a bit tired.” Ryan Sessegnon could be the beneficiary, with Ivan Perisic switching to right wingback.
Tottenham projected lineup (3-4-3): Lloris (GK) — Romero, Dier, Lenglet — Perisic, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Sessegnon — Kulusevski, Kane, Richarlison.
Jamie Vardy dropped to the bench for Leicester’s defeat at Brighton, with the silver lining in that reverse coming as front two Kelechi Iheanacho and Patson Daka both scored.
The shape around them could change, with Daniel Amartey an option to come into the defence if Rodgers opts to match up to Conte’s formation
Leicester projected lineup (3-4-1-2): Ward (GK) — Amartey, Ndidi, Evans — Justin, Soumare, Tielemans, Thomas — Maddison — Daka, Iheanacho.
