Tuesday evening's Premiership games kick off at 19:00 when the 2015/16 champions, Leicester City, host Brighton & Hove Albion at the King Power Stadium.


The Foxes will look to return to winning ways after drawing to Watford over the weekend, while the Seagulls will want to build on their momentum after stunning Arsenal 2-1 on Saturday.

In London, the 8th placed Tottenham Hotspur take on the relegation-threatened West Ham United.

Spurs manager, José Mourinho, says for the first time since he took charge of the team he has a fully fit attack available.

“Tottenham always had a fantastic group of attacking players and in the January market Steven Bergwijn coming even improved that. Not just to be one more, but to be one more fantastic player with great ability.

“So now we have the six players available which is a very, very good attacking force that allows us to start the game and have players on the bench to make changes in case we have a need.

“I think in this moment, with this long period without football, for the attacking players especially - it is not easy for them. So to have in this moment, three plus three is a great situation for us.”

This game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium kicks off at 21:15.
