Spurs are languishing down in 15th place in the Premier League and another bad result against lowly Leicester would pile pressure on Postecoglou, who will hope his side can build on their 3-2 Europa League win over Hoffenheim on Thursday.

Leicester have suffered seven straight Premier League defeats and if they win in north London then Spurs would finish the weekend just seven points outside the relegation zone.

But fans in the UK will not be able to watch the game live.
