Leicester City host Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday in a vital clash at both ends of the Premier League table.
The hosts will have renewed optimism after taking four points from their last two games and going three unbeaten across all competitions. However, they still sit 14th in the table, just three points clear of the relegation zone.
Spurs, meanwhile, have won their last three games in all competitions without conceding a goal, including that eye-catching 1-0 victory of reigning champions Manchester City last time out.

Leicester team news
James Justin and Ryan Bertrand are Leicester’s only confirmed absentees with Brendan Rodgers’ injury woes finally easing. However, Wilfred Ndidi, Jonny Evans, Boubakary Soumare and Ricardo Pereira are all still doubts.
Leicester starting 11 (4-2-3-1): Ward; Castagne, Souttar, Faes, Kristiansen; Tielemans, Dewsbury-Hall; Tete, Maddison, Barnes; Iheanacho.
Tottenham team news
Davinson Sanchez should come in for the suspended Cristian Romero, who was sent off late against Man City last time out. Hugo Lloris is out with a knee injury, so Fraser Forster will start in goal, while Lucas Moura and Pape Sarr both remain doubtful.
Tottenham starting 11 (3-4-2-1): Forster; Sanchez, Dier, Davies; Royal, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Perisic; Kulusevski, Son; Kane.
Just a couple of weeks ago, these two clubs were entering crisis mode due to poor runs of form, with Leicester firmly in a relegation battle and Spurs barely staying alive in the Champions League race.
However, a couple of good results for each has lightened the mood, meaning both will go in fancying their chances. You could say that means we’re likely for a draw, but it’s important to remember Harry Kane has been the difference in Spurs’ last two Premier League wins. He’ll likely decide this one too.
Prediction: Leicester 1-2 Tottenham
