Team News: Jamie Vardy starts for Leicester at Tottenham Hotspur

Jamie Vardy has been passed fit to play for Leicester City in tonight's top-four Premier League clash against Tottenham Hotspur.

The league's joint-top scorer was absent from the FA Cup third-round tie between these two on Sunday but has been deemed fit enough to play tonight, although Claudio Ranieri has admitted that he might not see out 90 minutes.

The visitors have just one change from their last Premier League match - a goalless draw with Bournemouth - and it comes alongside Vardy in attack as Shinji Okazaki is preferred to Leonardo Ulloa.

Spurs, meanwhile, return to the team that started at Goodison Park 10 days ago, with the likes of Harry Kane and Dele Alli back in the XI after getting a rest at the weekend.

Tottenham Hotspur: Lloris; Walker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies; Dier, Carroll; Lamela, Eriksen, Alli; Kane Subs: Vorm, Trippier, Wimmer, Rose, Dembele, Onomah, Son

Leicester City: Schmeichel; Simpson, Morgan, Huth, Fuchs; Mahrez, Kante, Drinkwater, Albrighton; Okazaki, Vardy Subs: Schwarzer, King, Gray, Ulloa, Dyer, Wasilewski, Inler
