Tottenham Hotspur will entertain Leicester City at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday afternoon as both teams look to earn a positive result in the English capital. Spurs were held to a scoreless draw by Brentford in their last league outing. Similarly, the Foxes could only manage to grind out a 1-1 draw versus Roma earlier this week.
