Leicester vs Tottenham: TV channel, live stream, team news & prediction
Leicester and Tottenham are due to meet in the Premier League on Thursday night, although both clubs have unsuccessfully requested the game be postponed because of COVID-19 outbreaks.
But with Burnley vs Watford called off with minimal notice on Wednesday, there remains the possibility that this and others could yet be victims of the new Omicron variant that is spreading like wildfire throughout the UK.

Leicester team news
Leicester are going to be without Caglar Soyuncu and Jonny Evans, both of whom suffered injuries against Newcastle last time out. Daniel Amartey is also not ready to return, meaning that the centre of defence is a huge issue. Jannik Vestergaard is ill and Welsey Fofana is a long-term absentee.
The Foxes are missing another seven players either following a positive COVID-19 test or other illness, including Kelechi Iheanacho, Ayoze Perez and Hamza Choudhury.
Tottenham team news
Antonio Conte has confirmed that COVID-19 positive players in the Tottenham camp are starting to recover and returning to training bit by bit. But the boss is concerned about the knock-on impact that isolation has had on their fitness while unable to train.
Son Heung-min, Bryan Gil, Oliver Skipp, Sergio Reguilon and Lucas Moura are among those who have been affected. Cristian Romero remains sidelined through a separate injury.
Leicester vs Tottenham head-to-head record
In the Premier League era alone, this rivalry could hardly be tighter. Of 30 meetings, Leicester have won 12 to Tottenham's 13, with 49 goals and 56 goals scored respectively.
In each of the last two seasons, the home side has always won. Spurs did the league double over Leicester during the 2018/19 campaign, while there hasn't been a draw between the sides since a 1-1 stalemate in October 2016 when the Foxes were reigning Premier League champions.
Leicester vs Tottenham score prediction
Given the trouble that both clubs have had to deal with in recent days, this match is so hard to call - assuming it actually does go ahead.
Leicester were already dealing with problems when they thrashed Newcastle 4-0 only a few days ago, but things have gotten worse because of their additional defensive injuries.
Tottenham, meanwhile, haven't played for over a week because their last two games in all competitions have been postponed. That could potentially leave some players fresher, although those who are back from illness may still struggle.
Prediction: Leicester 1-2 Tottenham
