The statistics back up the fact this match is likely to contain goals as it is one of the most high-scoring in Premier League history.It ranks third in the all-time list of average goals per game for a Premier League fixture behind only Chelsea vs Sunderland and Liverpool vs Crystal Palace.On average, it has 3.52 goals per game and we have seen the ball hit the back of the net 88 times in the 25 games played between them.The Chelsea/Sunderland clash is top with 3.69 while Liverpool/Palace match sees 3.6 goals per game. Since Leicester returned to the top flight in 2014, it is the second highest scoring fixture with an average of four goals per game.This is bettered only by Arsenal vs Liverpool where you can expect to see 4.4 goals per game.We had a 5-4 thriller at Wembley last season with Spurs coming out on top, recovering after going 3-1 down.Two seasons ago Harry Kane smashed four in against the Foxes at the King Power Stadium as Tottenham won 6-1, helping him seal a second Golden Boot against the odds.Harry Kane clutches the match ball after scoring four against Leicester2

Kane certainly enjoys playing against Leicester as he scored another hat-trick in a match in the 2014-15 season when Spurs won 4-3 at White Hart Lane.The East Midlands club will no doubt be delighted the England captain will be absent for the match as he recovers from injury.The 25-year-old has scored 13 times against the Foxes, more goals than he has against any other club. If you look back further into the Premier League history there was also a 4-4 draw at White Hart Lane in February 2004.Jermaine Defoe scored twice for Spurs with one each for Michael Brown and Robbie Keane. Leicester profited from a Gary Doherty own goal with Les Ferdinand, Ben Thatcher and Marcus Bent also on the scoresheet.
