We're underway at the King Power Stadium.
Leicester will be determined to finish in the top half of the Premier League to end their season on a high note. The Foxes were struggling before the departure of Claudio Ranieir, but have staged a dramatic improvement since Craig Shakespeare took over full-time head coaching duties.
Good evening and welcome to the live commentary of the Premier League clash between Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur at the King Power Stadium.
Shakespeare's chances for securing the permanent position as Leicester manager would be handed a huge boost if his side can sign off the term with home victories over Tottenham and Bournemouth to ensure they place in the top half.
Tottenham provided White Hart Lane with the perfect send off last Sunday by defeating Manchester United 2-1 in their final home match at the famous stadium. Mauricio Pochettino's men have secured their highest league finish since the 1962/63 season by claiming second place, but will still want to end the season strongly.
The team news has been announced and we'll start with the home side.
Tottenham subs: Vorm, Eriksen, Wimmer, Lesniak, Janssen, N'Koudou, Shashoua.
Leicester have made one change from their defeat to Manchester City last time out. Andy King misses out due to injury and is replaced in the side by Daniel Amartey, while Wes Morgan and Robert Huth remain sidelined.
Tottenham have made two changes from their win over Manchester United. Kieran Trippier drops out due to injury and is replaced by Moussa Dembele, while Moussa Sissoko comes in for Christian Eriksen. Spurs switch to a back three with the absence of Trippier, with Dier dropping back into the defence.
STAT ATTACK! Spurs have lost just one of their last meetings against the Foxes.
BLAST FROM THE PAST! The two sides played out a 1-1 draw in their clash earlier this season. Vincent Janssen gave Spurs the lead from the spot, but Ahmed Musa equalised after half time to hand his side a point.
STAT ATTACK! Leicester have won their last five Premier League home matches on the bounce.
The players are out on the pitch, so we should be underway shortly.
HALF-TIME: LEICESTER 0-2 TOTTENHAM
Craig Shakespeare will be disappointed by his side's performance in the first half as Spurs did not have work too hard to gain their two-goal advantage. Changes could be coming in the second half to jolt the Foxes into life.
The players are back out for the second half, so we should be underway again shortly.
Tottenham hold a comfortable 2-0 lead at the break thanks to strikes from Harry Kane and Son Heung-min. Spurs have barely had to get out of first gear and have knocked the ball around the King Power Stadium with ease due to a lack of pressure from the Leicester defence.
FULL-TIME: LEICESTER 1-6 TOTTENHAM
Harry Kane has led Tottenham's dismantling of Leicester this evening with four goals. He was trailing Romelu Lukaku in the race for the golden boot, but now holds a two-goal advantage over the Belgian.
Thanks for joining our commentary this evening. Until next time, goodbye.
Son Heung-min notched a brace as well to aid in the hammering, while Ben Chilwell almost got the Foxes back into proceedings, only for them to collapse down the stretch. Craig Shakespeare will be hopeful that his result will not count against him in his bid to secure the manager's post on a full-time basis.
