  1. Spurs midfielder Dele Alli - who signed a new contract yesterday - gets the ball about 25 yards out, finds a bit of space and pings an effort wide of the right post.

  2. It's been all Spurs so far and Harry Kane is flagged offside although his effort wasn't going in anyway.

    Haven't seen Leicester have an attack yet.

  3. Christian Eriksen gave Spurs an early lead on Sunday and he tries to do the same here but his effort from about 20 yards is easily held by Kasper Schmeichel.

  4. KICK-OFF - Spurs 0-0 Leicester

    We are under way at White Hart Lane.

  5. Bradley Allen
    Former QPR striker on BBC Radio London

    Leicester could go seven points clear of Spurs and would cement themselves in the Champions League places. They might be looking at Arsenal and Manchester City and saying we're going to push you all the way until May.

  6. BBC Radio London

    There was a time when a game being on BBC Radio London was of no use to you if you weren't living in London.

    Well this is the internet age - so tuck into live commentary of this game by clicking the play icon at the top of this page.

  7. Players are coming out onto the pitch along with dramatic music that sounds like it might be Star Wars.

    Almost time to go.

    Is there anything more ridiculous than that thing where the referee picks the ball off a pedestal on his way out by the way?

  8. Pre-match stats

    • The last two league matches between the sides at White Hart Lane have produced 15 goals: a 4-3 win to Tottenham last season and a 4-4 draw back in 2004.

    • Their FA Cup replay next week will be the seventh time they have met in the last two seasons.

    • In terms of defeats (two in 20 games), this is Tottenham's best start to a top-flight season since winning the league in 1961.

    • Leicester City have gone three league games without a goal, having scored in their first 17 Premier League matches this season.

    • N'Golo Kante has made the most tackles (79) and interceptions (81) in the Premier League so far this season.

  9. I think this will be a completely different game from Sunday because I will change some of the players. This is a crazy Premier League season and we will fight to achieve the maximum, but we will take it step-by-step.

    Claudio Ranieri, Leicester manager

  10. We need to give Leicester credit because they are a team that not only defends deep but plays well, they believe, they are strong and run a lot. They deserve full credit and a lot of praise because their season has been fantastic so far.

    Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham boss

  11. The maddest thing about Leicester's rise this season is that it's stopped seeming strange. I'm used to them up there now.

  12. The managers have met before...

    Claudio Ranieri and Mauricio PochettinoPA

    Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri tried to sign his opposite number Mauricio Pochettino for Atletico Madrid from Espanyol at the turn of the millennium.

    "I always liked him as a player," said Ranieri. "I was very, very close but there was a little problem with our money at Atletico Madrid, so it wasn't possible. He was a player I always admired, a very good player." 

    Pochettino said: "We spoke a little bit about that on the touchline on Sunday for two or three minutes before the start of the game. 

    "He said I was lucky because it was the year Atletico went down. The deal was done and I had agreed to go but there wasn't the money - it was impossible to pay because there was a takeover at the club. It was lucky."

  13. Alli commits to Spurs

    This is Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli's first game since signing a new contract to keep him at the club until 2021.

    The 19-year-old, who joined Spurs last February from MK Dons, has impressed in his first full season and has scored six goals in 30 appearances so far.

    He has burst into the England team this year too.

  14. 'A game with huge significance'

    John Motson
    BBC Match of the Day commentator

    "These two teams clash in the second of three matches against each other in 10 days, but there is no doubting that this is the most significant.

    "Few people would have predicted back in August that by this stage of the season Tottenham and Leicester would have lost just four league games between them.

    "Both clubs played fringe players in the FA Cup on Sunday but will revert to their strongest line-ups for a game that could carry huge significance in the race for the Champions League places and a potential title challenge.

    "If Tottenham win they are just a point behind Leicester, but lose and the gap widens to seven points."

  15. Harry Kane wanting to stay is very important. He feels very good here and is very happy. I can understand people are concerned we need one striker more, but we are very confident in following the same direction as the first half of the season.

    Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham boss

    Tottenham make seven changes from the starting line-up who drew 2-2 in the FA Cup against Leicester on Sunday. Harry Kane - who came off the bench to level that game - starts today, with keeper Hugo Lloris and forward Erik Lamela among the others to return.

    Spurs#bbcfootball

    Leicester make nine changes, with the two most notable seeing Jamie Vardy returning from groin surgery (that only kept him out for that one cup game) and Riyah Mahrez coming back after a rest.
