Form and team news

Leicester City come into the game on mixed form. Despite beating Sheffield United on Thursday, a disappointing result at Bournemouth followed a draw at Arsenal.

Winless their last seven Premier League away games, the Foxes have failed to win their final away fixture of the season since their 4-2 win at Blackburn Rovers in 1997.

Despite their poor form against Mourinho, Rodgers has enjoyed success over Tottenham: winning his last six Premier League matches against Spurs, with an aggregate score of 20-5.

Tottenham are looking for their fourth consecutive league win at their new stadium for the first time after beating West Ham, Everton and Arsenal since the restart. With a Europa League space still up for grabs, Spurs will have to win only their third game against a team in the top eight of the table. A statistic that may favour the Foxes.

Rodgers announced on Thursday that James Maddison, Ben Chilwell and Christian Fuchs will all miss the rest of the season. With Caglar Soyuncu suspended, it is likely the team that defeat the Blades will start on Sunday. For Mourinho, Lucas Moura is a doubt following a slight knock picked up in their 3-1 win at Newcastle United.
