City fans can enjoy over four hours of coverage from Wednesday's encounter with Tottenham on LCFC Radio.

From 6pm on Wednesday, live coverage begins, with presenter Dan Bates alongside former Leicester stars Iwan Roberts and Gerry Taggart for a 90-minute preview show, which will air across @LCFC on social media and LCFC.com. It'll include team news, opinion and interviews from the City camp.

Then, with around 10 minutes to go until kick-off, James Fielden will be joined by ex-Foxes skipper Matt Elliott in the pressbox at King Power Stadium for live and free commentary, to be followed by another half an hour of reaction and analysis to Leicester's 19th Premier League fixture of the season.

Jonathan Moss is the referee in midweek, assisted by Marc Perry and Timothy Wood, with Robert Jones on fourth official duty. VAR will overseen by Simon Hooper and assistant Mark Scholes.

How do I get match ready?

King Power Stadium is primed for matchday.

The return of Leicester City fans to King Power Stadium has been a welcome boost during this Premier League season and supporter safety continues to be the Football Club’s top priority.

With that in mind, it is important that supporters attending Leicester City fixtures are aware of and compliant with the requirements of the UK Government’s Autumn/Winter Plan B. The implementation of these plans has now been confirmed and means changing requirements for adults attending venues with more than 10,000 people.

Supporters aged 18 and over will be required to complete and sign an online pre-registration form (valid for the season) to show they have understood and agree to updated conditions of entry. These require all adult supporters to have certification that demonstrates they are any one of the following:

- Fully vaccinated (currently a full course of vaccination without the need for a booster);
- Able to provide evidence of a negative lateral flow test in the 48 hours preceding the event;
- Eligible for medical exemption

This means that those aged 18 years or over must have a valid NHS COVID Pass, or an alternative proof of a negative test result, to gain entry into the stadium.

In addition to the requirement for supporters to pre-register, the Club Is required to conduct COVID-19 certification spot checks at turnstiles, to ensure supporters are adhering to the requirements of the UK Government’s Autumn/Winter Plan B. It is therefore advised that supporters arrive early to allow time for these checks to take place prior to kick-off.

Supporters that fail to pre-register or provide appropriate COVID certification on request risk being refused entry and tickets will not be refunded.

What happened last time against Spurs?

There was a reduced crowd on Filbert Way as part of the phased return of fans due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Leicester suffered a 4-2 defeat in their last home fixture against Spurs on the final day of last season. Jamie Vardy twice put the Foxes ahead from the penalty spot on Filbert Way, but a Harry Kane strike, a Kasper Schmeichel own goal and two goals from Gareth Bales settled the result for Spurs.

City did, though, win the away fixture last term, with Vardy's spot-kick and a Toby Alderweireld own goal sending them to a 2-0 success.

When can I catch match highlights?

Youri Tielemans was among the goals for the Foxes in an FA Cup triumph over Watford.
