Before the game, Coral and Ladbrokes made Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou even-money favourite to be the next top-flight manager to leave his job but Leicester's Ruud van Nistelrooy was next in the betting at 13-8.

Ange Postecoglou revealed that Richarlison ’s early withdrawal during Tottenham ’s loss to Leicester City was due to a problem with the striker’s groin. Richarlison scored his second goal in as many Premier League games to give his side the lead at half-time against Leicester at home.
