Leicester lineup vs. Tottenham: Predicted XI for Premier League clash

Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Leicester City could line up for Sunday's Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur.

Leicester City new boy Woyo Coulibaly should be eligible to make his Foxes debut when they meet Tottenham Hotspur in Sunday's Premier League showdown in North London.

The former Parma man was not cleared to face Fulham last weekend as his side fell to a 2-0 defeat, but Ruud van Nistelrooy affirmed that he would be given the green light to take on Tottenham.

That is more than can be said for injured trio Abdul Fatawu (knee), Wilfred Ndidi (thigh) and Ricardo Pereira (thigh), though, and number one goalkeeper Mads Hermansen is still sidelined by his groin issue.

As a result, Jakub Stolarczyk should continue to act as the last line of defence, while Coulibaly might have to hope for some minutes off the bench as James Justin continues at right-back.

Even in Leicester's leaky state, Van Nistelrooy has been loath to change his defensive setup, so Wout Faes, Victor Kristiansen and Jannik Vestergaard should all hold their spots at the back.

However, it could be a case of one in, one out as far as the ex-Spurs men are concerned, as Oliver Skipp could start alongside Boubakary Soumare in the middle over Harry Winks, with Bilal El Khannouss operating slightly further forward.

Facundo Buonanotte's hopes of a rare Premier League start under Van Nistelrooy have suffered another blow with reports that he was targeted in a dressing-room dressing-down by his manager last weekend, but Kasey McAteer is a viable option to replace Jordan Ayew up front.

Leicester City possible starting lineup:
Stolarczyk; Justin, Faes, Vestergaard, Kristiansen; Skipp, Soumare; McAteer, El Khannouss, Mavididi; Vardy
