Leicester City face a huge game this weekend that could decide which league they are playing in next season.
The Foxes make the trip to the capital to face Tottenham Hotspur in a game that both teams will be eyeing up to stop their horrible run of form.
Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side have lost their last seven Premier League games, however, the Leicester boss maintains the support of the fans.
Tottenham are faring no better despite Ange Postecoglou being given a vote of confidence by the Spurs board.
Familiar faces will also reunite with James Maddison excited to face Jamie Vardy whilst Harry Winks and Oliver Skipp return to their boyhood club for the first time since departing permanently.
A win for Leicester could pull them out of the bottom three if results go their way so, with that, here is everything you need to know about this massive game.

Leicester City team news
Mads Hermansen, Ricardo Pereira, Wilfred Ndidi and Abdul Fatawu have all been long-term absentees and none seem any closer to returning to the fold so can be ruled out for the Foxes.
Woyo Coulibaly could be handed a debut after he wasn’t eligible to play in last weekend’s defeat against Fulham.
This could mean James Justin, who has been criticised this season, may be the one to drop out.
Facundo Buonanotte could also be restored to the starting XI after he was dropped in favour of Jordan Ayew.
