After a week off, Leicester City return to action with a tough away match against Tottenham Hotspur. The Foxes are yet to win in the league after six attempts and Brendan Rodgers will hope his players will turn things around as the pressure cranks up.

Traditionally, LCFC have not fared well in this particular fixture and Foxes fans will have to hope they won’t have to witness another drubbing. Results of the recent past have often been high scoring and not in Leicester’s favour, notably the 3-2 implosion earlier this year. Nevertheless, judging some fans’ reactions, a bad loss would be acceptable if it would lead to hierarchical changes.

Regardless of where you stand on this matter, FOL picks out three main things that are worth looking out for.

1. Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son

Whilst Leicester City remain rooted to the bottom of the league, it is not all plain sailing for their North London opponents. Tottenham Hotspur sit third in the league, yet many of their fans are also dissatisfied with their performances. Furthermore, the Lilywhites come into this game after losing 2-0 to Sporting Lisbon. More disappointingly for them, Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son have both failed to click into gear so far this season. That fact may change when they face a leaky Leicester backline that has shipped 75 goals since the start of last season.
