Last time the two sides met at the King Power stadium Spurs ran out 2-1 winners with goals from Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen. However, Lamela starts alongside Kane at the King Power Stadium due to Eriksen’s absence in a team that is otherwise unchanged.

Ranieri is yet to decide whether Inler will make his Premier League debut against Tottenham on Saturday but he has no fresh injury worries with only Matty James recovering from a long-term knee injury and Christian Fuchs expected to shake off an illness. “I will give my positive energy to them”.
With it being his first season back in the Premier League since his time with Chelsea all those years ago, Ranieri also said he wasn’t nervous he remained very happy about this opportunity and his focus was purely on helping the players to develop more and in turn the club.
Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri: “I think it was a fantastic first half [against West Ham]”. “They are a very good team, the last few years they have been in Europe which means it is a tough challenge”, he said. It would be unlikely for Leicester City to change the winning formula they have had with side that has started the last two games. It doesn’t matter whether I play like Esteban or not. Should the winger continue his fine form from the Sunderland and West Ham games, Leicester City could be on course for 9 points from a possible 9. I have two Yorkshire terriers, Eesha and Keyah, and a German shepherd called Rago that a friend gave me when I was at Napoli. I can show them how they are and how they can play.
Mauricio Pochettino is still building his team and is desperately in need of a striker, after having stated that harry Kane wasn’t fully fit.
“His skill is he can play in different positions in the pitch”.
Leicester have gained an intense competitor in Inler, the Switzerland captain whose arrival for £5m seems a remarkable piece of business even by the standards of a transfer window in which several of the Premier League’s less-fancied clubs have attracted players of global standing.

“I think everyone says that we need an offensive player but we need to be more consistent because we conceded a lot of goals last season and scoring wasn’t our problem”.
