Leicester City are in desperate need of points and there’s no better place to start than today away at Tottenham Hotspur.
The Foxes have lost their last seven Premier League games in a row and are two points adrift of safety.
Leicester fans have thrown their support behind Ruud van Nistelrooy after several fans were heard chanting “you don’t know what you’re doing” inside the King Power Stadium.
There are also concerns for Ange Postecoglou, who won’t be sacked by Spurs despite their horrendous run of form.
This game is one that has grown in stature amongst the two fanbases after they went head-to-head for the Premier League title.
Everyone knows how the story went as the Foxes beat odds of 5000/1 to lift the trophy in the 2015/16 season whilst Tottenham fell away and ended up finishing third and that’s something Leicester fans will never let them forget.
Leicester City fans made hilarious banner to troll Tottenham
2015/16 will be one of those years that no football fan can forget – even if they have no allegiance for Leicester and Tottenham.
That season saw both sides go head-to-head throughout the campaign but in the end, Claudio Ranieri’s side came out on top.
A draw against West Brom was the real turning point for Spurs before a 2-2 draw away at rival Chelsea that has since been dubbed ‘The Battle of the Bridge’ was the night Leicester sealed the title.
In response to the celebrations and Tottenham’s struggles, that saw them drop to third, some Foxes supporters decided to make a banner to remind the North London club of their failure.
The banner says: “Who came third in a two-horse race? Tottenham f*****g Hotspur”.
It’s unclear if the banner will be on display at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but don’t be surprised if you hear Leicester fans singing the same song.

Leicester’s H2H record against Spurs doesn’t make for good reading
Leicester drew with Spurs on the opening day of this season and whilst in normal circumstances this would be a great result today, a win is needed.
The hosts are also ridden with injuries and in dreadful form, meaning this is a perfect time to strike.
But, given the overall head-to-head record between the two teams, Postecoglou’s men will still be confident of three points.
| Leicester wins | 38 |
| Draws | 22 |
| Tottenham wins | 61 |
Across the 121 previous meetings, Spurs have won 61 of those in comparison to Leicester’s 38. Furthermore, these games hardly end in draws and given that both sides are seemingly giving away goals for fun at the moment, expect a high-scoring affair.
