Tottenham 2-2 Leicester: FA Cup third round - as it happened
4pm: Tottenham Hotspur vs Leicester City
Full time: Tottenham 2-2 Leicester
A fine FA Cup tie see both sides get what they didn't want, a replay. Christian Eriksen put Spurs ahead before Wesolowski headed home. Shinji Okazaki came off the bench to put Leicester ahead but Harry Kane scored his 50th goal for the club from a controversial penalty.
Well that is all we have time for on this live text. I hope you have enjoyed our FA Cup coverage this weekend and we'll be back for the fourth round draw tomorrow evening. Until then, goodbye.
Goal: Tottenham 1-2 Leicester (Shinji Okazaki)
The Tinkerman gets it right again as Shinji Okazaki scored just three minutes after coming on as a half time substitute. King turns the ball round the corner and Okazaki gets past Carroll, wrong-foots Alderweireld and after first first being denied by Vorm, he slams in off the post.
Goal: Tottenham 1-0 Leicester (Christian Eriksen)
Barely nine minutes played and Spurs are in front. Onomah plays in Chadli down the left channel of the area, his shot is turned away by Kasper Schmeichel but the ball falls to Christian Eriksen, who takes a touch and slams the ball home. Great start for the hosts.
Still over half an hour to go at Stamford Bridge where Chelsea continue to lead Scunthorpe by a Diego Costa goal. The League One side holding their own however. You can follow live coverage of that game via our live blog, here before we begin out build-up to the game at White Hart Lane.
Interesting teams named by both sides ahead of this game. Tottenham ring the changes there are starts for Michel Vorm, summer signing Kevin Wimmer, youngster Josh Onomah and Nacer Chadli.
Leicester given a debut to January signing Demarai Gray following his move from Birmingham City, in place of top scorer Jamie Vardy. Gokhan Inler and Lloyd Dyer are among the other starters.
Teams should be with us in the next few minutes, but what do we already know about how both sides will line up?
Mauricio Pochettino is set to shuffle his pack and recall a number of players who have been sidelined this term. Mousa Dembele, Alex Pritchard and Clinton Njie however are all out.
Jamie Vardy has returned to training after groin surgery but he remains out of the team as Claudio Ranieri's side travel to north London. Demari Gray could make his Foxes debut but Jeff Schlupp and Matt James are both injured.
The penultimate FA Cup third round tie is an all-Premier League affair as Tottenham host Leicester for the first of two meetings between the pair in the space of four days. Sunderland, Southampton and Newcastle were ousted from the competition on Saturday and another is guaranteed to join them. Spurs have had a super season under Mauricio Pochettino and are outsiders to launch a title bid, while Leicester have stalled of late having failed to score in their last three games. Jamie Vardy's absence today makes the task of breaking through the best defence in the top flight even harder. Team news on the way.
