Having been derailed by Arsenal over the weekend, Tottenham Hotspur are back on course following a midweek win over Southampton.

Mauricio Pochettino faces yet another juggling act against Leicester City, with several members of his squad looking fatigued and a trip to the Nou Camp to follow.

The Foxes have won just twice in their last eight Premier League fixtures and return to the King Power having been held to a 1-1 draw with Fulham on Wednesday.

Premier League preview: Leicester vs Tottenham

Mauricio Pochettino is sure to have one eye on Wednesday’s final Champions League group stage game against FC Barcelona.

Spurs only need to match Inter Milan’s result to reach the knockout stages.

In the meantime, they return for another round of Premier League action.

A win over Southampton at Wembley during midweek will have somewhat helped them to overcome their North London derby hangover.

Despite a comfortable 3-1 win, Pochettino’s squad continues to be stretched with a few players looking tired.

Fatigue against the Gunners seemingly caught them out and they will need to be wary again as they travel to the East Midlands.

Leicester show tremendous spirit during emotional period

Following the passing of former owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, Leicester have shown tremendous spirit during an emotionally tough period.

Puel’s side have gone on a run of six games without suffering defeat, whilst winning three of those games in the process.

During midweek they held Fulham to a 1-1 draw with James Maddison adding his fifth league goal of the season.

Meanwhile, this term at the King Power, the Foxes have proven to be resilient with only Liverpool and Everton winning there.
