Tottenham Hotspur play host to relegation-threatened Leicester City on Sunday afternoon, with pressure mounting to gargantuan levels upon boss Ange Postecoglou.

Spurs sat 15th in the Premier League table heading into the weekend, just eight points off the relegation places and far from where they would have been expected to be in the English top flight. A crushing 3-2 defeat against Everton last time out rubbed salt even deeper into the north London side’s wounds.

The Foxes visit at a time when a win is vital if the club’s Australian manager is to stay in his post, and Tottenham are to remove themselves from any far-fetched relegation talk.

Ruud van Nistelrooy’s visitors last tasted a league win in December, though records like that haven’t prevented Spurs from being felled of late. However, if fans wish to tune in and see how the action unfolds at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, those in the UK cannot do so.

Why isn’t Tottenham vs Leicester on TV?

Due to Tottenham being in Europa League action on Thursday, this match has been moved to a Sunday afternoon kick-off time of 2pm. This also applies to both Aston Villa and Manchester United.

Yet, of the four matches taking place on Sunday, broadcasters Sky Sports and TNT Sports have opted for others, and therefore, Spurs and Leicester fans won't be able to watch their teams live on TV from the UK.

Brentford’s trip to Crystal Palace, which also takes place at 2pm on Sunday, is Sky Sports’ pick and will be broadcast before Aston Villa vs West Ham at 4:30pm. Fulham vs United is the clash that has been chosen by TNT Sports and will air at 7:00pm.

This is set to change from next season when all matches not scheduled for a 3pm kick-off on Saturday will be aired live in the UK, courtesy of the Premier League's new TV deal.

How to watch Tottenham vs Leicester

Though fans cannot watch the game in the UK, those outside of the country can follow the action via their local Premier League TV rights holders.

For example, in the United States, NBCUniversal holds the rights to all 380 Premier League games this season, allowing fans stateside to tune into the crunch fixture live.

Unfortunately, UK-based fans will have to wait until highlights are made available by Sky Sports shortly after the final whistle, or watch BBC One's Match of the Day 2, airing at 10:30pm, which will feature extended highlights.
