After disappointing defeats to Merseyside opposition in midweek, Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City do battle at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday.
Tottenham endured late heartbreak at Anfield on Wednesday night. Roberto Firmino's 90th-minute winner gave Liverpool the win over Spurs, on a night when Jose Mourinho was adamant that the better team lost.
Despite creating two gilt-edged chances in the second half, Spurs couldn't capitalize. Steven Bergwijn and Harry Kane were made to pay for their misses, as Liverpool eventually secured the win. That result meant that the Reds climbed to top spot, three points ahead of Spurs.
Leicester City had the chance to come into this game ahead of Spurs in the standings, but they lost 2-0 to Everton at the King Power Stadium, as goals from Richarlison and Mason Holgate sunk Brendan Rodgers' side.
Leicester are still just a point behind Spurs heading into this game.
