Sports Mole previews the match at the King Power Stadium between Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur.

Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson will be hoping to record his team's first win in 13 games when they host Tottenham Hotspur on Boxing Day.

Since beating Manchester United on September 21, the Foxes have endured a dismal run that has seen them fall five points from safety in the Premier League table.

That streak, which has included nine defeats in their last 10 outings, has resulted in Pearson's role at the club coming under threat, but the 51-year-old remains positive heading into the New Year.

Strike duo David Nugent and Leonardo Ulloa are pushing for a start at the King Power Stadium after substitute appearances against West Ham United.

An improved run of form has seen Spurs make progress up the standings in recent weeks as well as continuing their run in both the Europa League and League Cup.

Head coach Mauricio Pochettino has been forced to rotate his squad for much of the campaign but he is unlikely to make many alterations for the trip to the East Midlands.

Benjamin Stambouli could replace Ryan Mason, who went off injured in the 2-1 win over Burnley, while striker Emmanuel Adebayor may return to the squad after not featuring since November 9.

Leicester City:
