Match News:-
TOTTENHAM
Aurier returned to France after last week’s win over Newcastle to be with his family following the tragic death of his brother. Jose Mourinho says Tottenham will give the right-back all the time he needs before returning and he may not feature on Sunday.
Tanguy Ndombele is ruled out of Tottenham’s last two games of the season with a knee injury, though wouldn’t have started here. Dele Alli is a major doubt with a hamstring injury.
A tactical tweak midway through Tottenham’s 3-1 win at Newcastle changed the game for Mourinho’s side and he may well start in that system here, meaning Giovani Lo Celso moves to play ahead of a midfield two.

LEICESTER
Brendan Rodgers confirmed in midweek Ben Chilwell and James Maddison will not feature in Leicester’s last two games of the season, which is a massive blow for the club’s pursuit of a top four finish.
With Christian Fuchs also injured, 19-year-old Luke Thomas will continue at left wing-back after impressing on his Premier League debut against Sheffield United on Thursday night.
Wes Morgan is expected to continue at centre-back alongside Jonny Evans with Caglar Soyuncu suspended for two more games.
Rodgers may go with an unchanged starting XI following their hugely important win over Sheffield United, though Demarai Gray will push to replace Harvey Barnes in the XI after scoring from the bench.
