Tottenham next manager: The four favourites to replace Ange Postecoglou after dreadful Leicester defeat
WATCH NOW: Sports round-up as Tottenham lose to Leicester
Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou is fighting for his job in the wake of his side's dreadful 2-1 defeat to Leicester on Sunday.
The Australian's team are in freefall and were by yet another relegation-threatened side, having also previously lost to Ipswich and Everton.
Tottenham went ahead in the 33rd minute, with Richarlison breaking the deadlock.
Yet a quickfire double from Jamie Vardy and Bilal El Khannouss ultimately gave Ruud van Nistelrooy's side all three points and boosted their chances of staying in the Premier League.

Postecoglou is stuck in a rut at Spurs.
He has implemented attacking football but results, particularly this season, have left much to be desired.
Betfair say there are currently four favourites to replace Postecoglou and that they're all priced at 11/2.
Fulham boss Marco Silva is one candidate, having worked wonders at the west London giants ever since replacing Scott Parker back in the summer of 2021.
The Portuguese was linked with Manchester United back in the summer, only for the fallen giants to stick with Erik ten Hag at the time.
But Silva may not be tempted to replace Postecoglou given his Fulham side are currently above Tottenham in the Premier League table.
Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola is another name in the frame to take over.
The Cherries are flying this term and, on Saturday, trounced Nottingham Forest 5-0 to boost their chances of clinching European football.
However, with Iraola onto a good thing at Bournemouth, there's a chance he'd reject Tottenham if Daniel Levy were to pick up the phone.
The other two frontrunners for the job are Kieran McKenna and Thomas Frank.
McKenna's Ipswich have punched above their weight in the Premier League this term and his stock continues to soar as a result.
As for Frank, his impressive work at Brentford makes him another strong candidate - having kept them in the top flight since their promotion nearly four years ago.

Postecoglou, meanwhile, was asked about his future after Tottenham's defeat to Leicester.
When quizzed on if he'll keep his position, the former Celtic boss stated: "Who knows? A fair chunk will say no.
"When you are a manager of a football club, you can feel vulnerable and isolated, I don’t feel that.
"The players are giving everything. I focus on that and try and support the players.”

When asked if it's unfair to jude him at a time when Tottenham are plagued by injuries, he added: "I'm a football manager, I get judged on results.
"That is the way of the world and that is how I will be judged."
