Tottenham host Leicester City on Sunday in the Premier League – and some of the club’s fans on Twitter have insisted they want to see Dele Alli handed a rare start.

After suffering a 2-1 defeat to Liverpool in midweek, Spurs lost their position at the top of the Premier League table and will be looking for an instant response on the weekend.

The North London outfit are second in the division with 25 points from 13 games, with many people suggesting that they can be genuine title contenders this season.

Spurs manager Jose Mourinho is set for a testing period though in the next couple of weeks, as his team play four times in the space of 10 days.

They host fourth-placed Leicester on Sunday in a league showdown, but their opponents have been excellent away from home this season and posses the attacking ammunition to cause serious problems.

A selection of Spurs fans on social media have suggested that Alli is recalled to the starting XI against the Foxes.

The 24-year-old has been completely out of favour with Mourinho this campaign, making just 10 appearances across all competitions so far and not starting a single league games since the opening day of the season.

But the attacking midfielder may have been given a lifeline by featuring as a late substitute in the two recent league fixtures and surely the manager will need to rotate in some areas during the Christmas period.

Here are some Spurs fans discussing Alli:
