The Foxes looked to be on course to eliminate Spurs from the competition for a second consecutive season, but Kane’s 50th goal for the hosts rescued a 2-2 draw at White Hart Lane.

One stumbling block for the move is Sirigu’s personal terms but PSG are ready to contribute up to half of the player’s wages.
They had almost seen the game out come the eighty-ninth minute, yet Tottenham won a penalty out of nowhere when Dyer unknowingly turned around and deflected the ball away from danger with his hand.
A draw is quite likely, but I would go with a Spurs win, a close one. Leicester were without their two best players at the weekend as Claudio Ranieri rested Mahrez and Jamie Vardy was missing through injury, but Leicester City played extremely well on Sunday and were robbed of a win because of a bad decision to award a penalty for handball near the end of the game.
“Tottenham are very strong in all the areas”, said Ranieri, who will face Pochettino for the second time in the space of four days following Sunday’s FA Cup third-round tie at White Hart Lane.
He admitted: “What my players say is not important – the ref gave a penalty so it was. It doesn’t make it easy but we are confident in our policy, and the owner wants to arrive at the top”.
He said: “I’m sure there will be changes in the teams but there is a bit of a momentum swing into our favour scoring a last-minute goal, we will take that momentum into Wednesday’s game and go for the win”.
“Step by step we are building to try in the future to fight for the Champions League”. Two teams that are now in the top four of the Premier League meet for a place in the Fourth Round.
The 19-year old made just his second start for the Foxes after a loan spell at Huddersfield earlier in the season and, while this was his first taste of Premier League opposition, the England youth worldwide believes he will take plenty from the afternoon. This morning [Monday] he made warm-ups with the team, and they made a different job, and tomorrow I’ll check.
“The market is very hard in winter”. I have played in the Championship and played against Hull City, but that was my first experience against Premier League players.
Andros Townsend could not even make the substitutes’ bench, which provided further evidence that the winger is no longer wanted by Pochettino.

Mauricio Pochettino has regularly been quoted talking about the possibility of signing one or two new players, particularly to provide a little more support to Kane up front.
