Former England striker on Football Focus

Brendan Rodgers has got all the senior players on side and they have really bought into what he’s doing. Leicester are being spoken about as breaking into the top six and they have such quality going forward that it's totally right to talk like that about them.

SIX THOUSAND?

Out come the players. Kasper Schmeichel and Harry Kane leading the way. Plenty of blue flags waving in sunny Leicester.

Tottenham have lost their last three matches in which Hugo Lloris did not play in all competitions this calendar year (PL, FA Cup, League Cup).

I'm really looking forward to this one because only goal difference separates these two in the table and Leicester look prime candidates to challenge the established top six should any of them falter.

Wednesday's Champions League opener in Greece saw Tottenham relinquish a two-goal lead for the second time already this season and Leicester should provide a stern test this weekend.

Brendan Rodgers has made an impressive impact since his return to the Premier League. Only Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea have picked up more points than the Foxes since he took over at the King Power Stadium.

There's more live Futsal action on the BBC today. England are up against Germany for the second time in two days at St George’s Park.

Here's a cracking goal from yesterday's encounter...

Watch live from 16:00 BST.

Bryan: COME ON YOU LEICESTER

Julian: I see spurs winning 2-1

Graham: No lloris dele or sanchez. tough game for Spurs today

Spurs have wrapped up their warm-ups and have headed down the tunnel to the changing rooms.

It's a sunny day in Leicester and quite a few of them have got a sweat on!

Spurs are winless in their last eight Premier League away games with only two points, their worst run since a 10-game streak in 2006.

They won 11 of their opening 13 league matches on the road last season but lost the remaining six, and have drawn twice in the current campaign (at Manchester City and Arsenal).

Everton midfielder Andre Gomes faces a fitness test on the rib problem that caused him to miss the defeat by Bournemouth.

Jean-Philippe Gbamin remains on the sidelines with a thigh injury.

Sheffield United will be without the suspended Billy Sharp, while Mo Besic is ineligible to face his parent club.

Callum Robinson is fully recovered from the minor hamstring injury that prevented him from starting against Southampton last weekend.

Tom: Spurs playing with just a front 3 (Kane, Lamela and Son) has never worked. I don't know why Poch keeps doing it... I guarantee you that after 60 minutes we'll be talking about a lack of Spurs chances and impotence in the final 3rd. Infuriatingly predictable.

Tottenham have been very up and down so far this season, but I don't think they have too much to worry about - they are a good side, with some quality players.

You just know Spurs are going to have a run where they win loads of games, but they might have to wait a bit longer to get up and running.

Prediction:1-1

Thomas: Wouldn't be surprised to see a penalty or two in today's early kick off.

Fernandinho is expected to continue in central defence for Manchester City in the absence of injured pair John Stones and Aymeric Laporte.

Phil Foden could be back after missing the Champions League trip to play Shakhtar Donetsk because of illness.

Watford will again be without Craig Cathcart due to a thigh injury.

Captain Troy Deeney remains on the sidelines with a knee problem, while fellow striker Isaac Success is also unavailable.

Leicester City

Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers on Mauricio Pochettino: "It’s the first time I have come across him now for a few years and he’s a very talented coach. I think he’s done a brilliant job [at Tottenham].

"My Liverpool team played against his team early on in his reign at White Hart Lane, so I got a good chance to see where he was at at that early stage of his career at Tottenham.

"When I look now at where he’s at, where he’s taken the club and what he’s done in the period that he’s been there… it’s been exceptional."

Andy Carroll is in contention to make his first Newcastle appearance for nine years after recovering from ankle surgery, although the striker is not yet ready to start.

Another summer signing, Allan Saint-Maximin, is also set to return from injury, while Fabian Schar is fit despite being forced off at Liverpool.

But this game comes too soon for Sean Longstaff, who has an ankle injury.

Brighton's Martin Montoya returns after missing out last weekend with illness.

Fellow defender Bernardo has an outside chance of being available but Leandro Trossard, Ezequiel Schelotto, Jose Izquierdo, Leon Balogun and Alireza Jahanbakhsh remain sidelined.

It's being reported that Tottenham keeper Hugo Lloris' absence from the squad is due to the birth of his child. Congratulations Hugo!
