Leicester v Tottenham: Team news

Brendan Rodgers faces something of a selection crisis with plenty of players set to miss out.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Luke Thomas, Çağlar Söyüncü, Patson Daka and James Justin are in contention.

Boubakary Soumaré and Ayoze Pérez could return.

Wesley Fofana, Jonny Evans, Ricardo Pereira, Ryan Bertrand and Jamie Vardy are certain to miss out through injury, while Timothy Castagne is out after undergoing an operation.

Meanwhile, Wilfred Ndidi, Daniel Amartey, Nampalys Mendy and Kelechi Iheanacho will also miss out due to being away on AFCON duty.

Spurs will also have to cobble a team together with several injury problems of their own.

Heung-min Son will miss out, while Eric Dier, Cristian Romero and Sergio Reguilon will be hoping to be passed fit for the contest.

Leicester v Tottenham: What has been said?

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers: "Antonio [Conte's] come in and given them a stable base, they're playing a similar style as they were under Nuno [Espírito Santo].

"The players know the system and where they're playing. They're a very good team with very good players."

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte: "We know that we have to play against a really good team that in the last years they won a title, they are showing they are doing important things in England.

"I think that we have to continue to try to have a good result in the league.

"We know that only after the international break the injured players are ready to come back and it will be difficult to come back from this period.

"It's not easy to come back from this period when you have many injuries in your squad.

"Then we'll see if anything comes from this period in the transfer market."
