Is it Tottenhams time? Mauricio Pochettinos Tottenham could dominate English football AbsenteesBoth sides have been fortunate with injuries of late, with no big-name stars out for a lengthy period - unusual towards the business end of a grueling campaign. Options without Vardy How will Leicester City cope without suspended Jamie Vardy? However, the fate of Jamie Vardys disciplinary hearing into his actions towards referee Jon Moss at the weekend could be a deciding factor in the title race.
