The Foxes are two points clear of Spurs in the Barclays Premier League and host West Brom on Tuesday with their rivals facing West Ham on Wednesday.
Tottenham will hand a late fitness test to Dele Alli after he picked up a minor ankle injury before Sunday’s 2-1 win over Swansea City, although Pochettino is unlikely to take any risks with the midfielder ahead of Saturday’s huge North London derby.
Spurs visit West Ham United on Wednesday and Arsenal entertain Swansea City desperate to show they are still genuine contenders following a depressing 3-2 defeat by a patched-up Manchester United side.
Italian striker Alberto Paloschi, signed from Chievo in January, scored his first Swansea goal to give them a halftime lead at 1961 league and FA Cup winners Spurs. Everyone is speaking about Leicester but nobody is speaking about Tottenham. “But I have to congratulate our players because of the energy we showed and the way we kept trying was fantastic”.
“Our job is done, we wanted to be safe and now there is something new”.
If you missed the match, here are the official highlights from NBC. If we cut out certain individuals, push them out of the game, we can win because they may fold as a team.
This is the closest Tottenham have come to winning the league since Harry Redknapp’s 2011-12 side – including Gareth Bale, Luka Modric and Rafael van der Vaart – sat third in February, five points off the top. Today we were not so lucky but perhaps in the last 10 matches we will be.
“I have to get poetry lessons to describe his importance to us. What is important is our own performance and there are still 11 Premier League games ahead”.
“When any manager arrives at a new club always the player needs to know the idea”.
This season, they have lost just three of their 28 games and have already surpassed their total points tally of last season by 16 points. I think we learned a lot and improved in our way, and only we need to fight in every game and keep the same mentality.

“It should be a good game because of the position they are in, and we are in”.
