Table unfair in Leicester – Conte
Tottenham Hotspur are hosting Leicester in the Premier League tonight as Antonio Conte’s side are looking to get back on the winning path after a mid-week loss to Sporting Lisbon.
Spurs ended the season unbeaten as Sporting scored two late-night goals in a Champions League group stage match, and a better performance against Leicester significantly dispelled the doubts.
Meanwhile, Leicester is desperate for a victory that would take Brendan Rodgers’ side from the bottom of the Premier League table. Lisa have lost five games in a row and a 5-2 defeat to Brighton signaled their lowest point of the season.
Rodgers is under heavy pressure, but the Leicester manager will have time to regroup his squad looking for their first victory of the season. Follow Tottenham vs Leicester in the Premier League below:
GOAL! Tottenham 1-1 Leicester (Kane, 9 ‘)
9 minutes: Kane aligns! Tottenham wins a corner, which Dejan Kulusevski plays briefly. He returns the ball to the edge of the penalty area and picks it up to the back post.
Harry Kane jumps over Timothy Castagne, meets the ball in the air and directs it towards the back of the net. Danny Ward gets a fluttering hand for the effort, but can’t help it.

Punishment for Leicester!
3 minutes: Early drama! James Maddison sends a pass from the field to James Justin, who bombards him on the left side. Justin carries the ball to the edge of the penalty area where Davinson Sanchez lunges and takes the man out.
There is a VAR control, but it does not refute.

Antonio Conte Says Tottenham Team “No Player To Drop”
Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte has warned his team that no one is up for grabs, but believes they will ensure a positive response to Leicester at home this weekend.
Spurs have started seven games unbeaten in the new season on Tuesday after losing 2-0 away to Sporting in the Champions League.

Landmarks for Wardy
Jamie Vardy is poised for his 277th Premier League appearance if he comes off the bench today. He would surpass Kasper Schmeichel as the creator of Leicester’s record-breaking performance in the competition.
Vardy also has one 100 Premier League goals shortfall since he was 30.
