City are seventh points above José Mourinho's Spurs as the 2019/20 campaign hits its penultimate gameweek, but just four points separated the teams in the winter of 2016.

In just Leicester's second season back in the Premier League, the visitors arrived in the capital in January sitting in second place as they mounted an unlikely title bid...

Robert Huth's towering 83rd-minute header settled a tense clash in north London and sent Leicester City back to the top of the Premier League on 13 January, 2016.

Despite starting the 2015/16 season as 5,000/1 rank outsiders to win the title, Claudio Ranieri's Foxes were in fact top of the tree at Christmas after a stunning start to the campaign.

However, a festive stutter from City saw them collect just two points from three games before their trip to White Hart Lane to face Mauricio Pochettino's Spurs on a cold Wednesday night.

Harry Kane - who enjoyed a short loan spell with the Club in 2013 - had the home side's best chance when his effort was touched onto the bar by goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.

In the second of three clashes between the two sides in just 10 days, due to an FA Cup tie going to a replay, there was very little between Spurs and the Foxes throughout.

However, with just seven minutes to go, as it seemed Leicester may go a fourth game without a goal, Christian Fuchs' corner was nodded past Hugo Lloris by Huth to seal an enormous victory.

Speaking at full-time, Ranieri said: "We wanted to win but we knew it was a difficult match. Tottenham started very well and put us under pressure but we didn't lose our confidence.

"In the second half it was an open match. We both had chances and we scored the goal. Unfortunately it's January, not May. There's so much work to do. We have to remain calm and believe."

City: Schmeichel; Simpson, Morgan, Huth, Fuchs; Mahrez (Dyer 90'), Kanté, Drinkwater, Albrighton; Okazaki (King 77'), Vardy (Ulloa 71')

Subs not used: Schwarzer, Wasilewski, Inler, Gray
