Ranieri: Pochettino can lead Tottenham to title

However, the Foxes will be out for revenge as the two sides played-out a thrilling 2-2 draw in the third round of the FA Cup on Sunday with Harry Kane scoring a controversial late penalty to force a replay.

“I think it will be a different game in the Premier League”, Kane said.

“We can take big encouragement from our performance, so hopefully we can put in another on Wednesday”.

The 22-year-old is expected to be a key figure for England at Euro 2016 later this year and another young Spur likely to feature is Dele Alli, who has been in the news this week after signing a new long-term contract at White Hart Lane. It is only the fourth time in their history that they have lost as few matches by this stage and on the previous three occasions they went on to win the league title (Division Two in 1920 and 1950, Division One in 1961).

However, accaording to reports in England, Ranieri might keep Vardy on the bench, and may use the striker if Leicester find themselves in the need for goals. Demarai Gray could make his Premier League debut after completing his move from Birmingham last week.

It is not about one name, one player more or less.

“Jamie had a problem for a month, more or less, and he continued to play”.

Pochettino could have midfield duo Ryan Mason (ankle) and Mousa Dembele (groin) available with the pair pushing for returns this week, while Alex Pritchard (ankle) is set to return to training following a lengthy lay-off.

The two sides played out a 4-4 thriller at White Hart Lane in the 2003/04 season. Goal-hungry attacker Riyad Mahrez returns. If players need to work hard, they will do that as well.

United have won just once in their last seven league games, scoring just five goals in that period, and also crashed out of the Champions League and League Cup prematurely this season.

And that’s fine. He’s one of the best strikers in world football, so until he amasses enough time at the club (a la Steven Gerrard) that it becomes clear he’s a Tottenham lifer, you should get used to it. And we’ll keep repeating the incredibly awesome things that Harry Kane says in public that refutes these claims.
