FOXES IN TOWN: NO TIME TO CHICKEN OUT

It's a crucial match for the mighty Spurs at White Hart Lane. A Leicester team in some disarray are the visitors. Spurs are highly unlikely to reach a Champions League spot this season. Instead safety is the challenge. The current league position looks safe, but Leicester are the sort of team that they must punish.

Upcoming matches - Newcastle (h), Manchester United (a), Southampton (a), Chelsea (h) - don't look promising for bagging many points. So, three points please on Sunday to make sure we stay up.

Somewhat surprisingly, Leicester hold the edge over Tottenham during the Premier League era - Spurs 5 wins, Leicester 8, Draws 2.

Meanwhile, one of George Graham's less than succesful buys during his ill-fated White Hart Lane tenure Sergei Rebrov reckons he's on his way back from exile in Turkey.

Reborv claims: "David Pleat has already indicated that he is counting on my return." Er, with any luck Pleat won't be in charge for much longer.

"I'm not 40 years old and I'm not ready to retire just yet," Yeah. But, you are crap, mate. Stay at Fenerbahce, please. We've got Kanoute, Keane, Defoe and Postiga. So we don't need Rebrov.
