Is Tottenham vs Leicester on in the UK? TV, streaming and kick-off information
Tottenham take on Leicester in the Premier League on Sunday, but the crunch clash for Ange Postecoglou will not be broadcast live in the UK
Crisis club Tottenham Hotspur are set to face relegation-threatened Leicester City on Sunday afternoon. The pressure is mounting to incredible levels upon Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou following a disappointing 3-2 defeat against Everton.
Currently sat 15th in the Premier League, The Foxes' visit comes at a crucial time for the north London side. They need a win to quell any talk of relegation and secure their Australian manager's position. Despite Ruud van Nistelrooy's side having not won a league game since December, Tottenham have struggled recently when faced with such appetising records.
However, UK fans will be unable to watch the match live from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on TV due to broadcasting choices made by Sky Sports and TNT Sports.

This match has been moved to a Sunday afternoon kick-off at 2pm because of Tottenham's Europa League commitments on Thursday - something that also affects Aston Villa and Manchester United.
Brentford's journey to Crystal Palace, scheduled for 2pm on Sunday, is Sky Sports' chosen match over the Spurs clash and will be aired prior to Aston Villa vs West Ham at 4:30pm. Fulham vs United has been selected by TNT Sports for a 7:00pm broadcast.
However, this arrangement - which will see Tottenham's fixture go unaired - is set to change from next season when all matches not slated for a 3pm kick-off on Saturday will be shown live in the UK, thanks to the Premier League's new TV deal.
How can fans watch Tottenham vs Leicester?
While fans in the UK cannot view the game, those abroad can catch the action via their local Premier League TV rights holders, reports Football London.
For instance, in the United States, NBCUniversal holds the rights to all 380 Premier League games this season, enabling fans across the pond to tune into the crucial fixture live.
Yet, UK-based fans will have to hold out 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.
