Tottenham will be looking to maintain their Premier League title bid when they host Leicester on Sunday, live on Sky Sports.
Spurs have won their last three league matches in a row and start the weekend five points behind leaders Manchester City.
"The period is going to be tough for everyone," said Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino.
"For the teams that want to win the trophy at the end, but no doubt that for sure Liverpool is going to be there until the end, and hope that we will be too.
"That is our objective... to be a realistic contender and have the possibility in the last five games to be there, to try to be contenders."
Leicester have lost four of their last five games in all competitions, including a 1-0 home defeat to Manchester United last time out.
There were boos from some fans after the loss, but manager Claude Puel said: "It's a positive thing because they are demanding about this team, they look at the quality for the players in the team and step by step we will find the good clinical edge and consistency."
Team news
Tottenham will still be without Harry Kane and Dele Alli.
Kane (ankle) is progressing well but the earliest he could return is the trip to Burnley on February 23, while Alli (hamstring) is also out.
Ben Davies (groin) remains sidelined with Eric Dier (virus) and Vincent Janssen (knee) absent.
Leicester will be without Marc Albrighton, who could miss the rest of the season with a hamstring injury, and Daniel Amartey (ankle).
Opta stats

- Leicester failed to score in the reverse fixture against Spurs, losing 0-2. They last failed to net in two consecutive league games against the Lilywhites in November 2000.
- Leicester have won just one of their last 11 Premier League away games in London (D4 L6), beating Chelsea on their last such visit in December.
- Tottenham have set a new Premier League record of going 29 Premier League games without a single draw. The last top-flight team to have a longer run were Portsmouth between March 1928-February 1929 (38 games).
- Tottenham have lost three of their five Sunday Premier League games this season (W2), including their only previous one at home so far (0-1 vs Manchester United).
- Leicester are one of just three non 'big six' sides to have won away against such a team this season (1-0 vs Chelsea), along with Wolves and Crystal Palace.
- Leicester's Jamie Vardy has been directly involved in seven goals in his last seven Premier League appearances against Tottenham (4 goals, 3 assists), netting three goals in his last two against them.
- Heung-Min Son has had a hand in 14 goals in his last 11 starts in the Premier League for Tottenham, scoring 10 and assisting four.
Merson's predictions
This will be a hard game for Spurs as Leicester have been competing and doing well against the big teams - those sides have a go at them and they can counterattack with the pace of Jamie Vardy, while you also have James Maddison and Demarai Gray in support.
However, despite this being a tough test, I do still see Spurs falling over the line again… they keep on winning, which is the main thing for them - you do not get any extra points for winning 6-0.
