The King Power Stadium will be the stage for an unlikely but burgeoning Premier League rivalry on Saturday.Leicester City (3-2-4) and Tottenham Hotspur (5-4-0) are not natural enemies in the landscape of English football, with 93 miles and very little in the way of competing history separating the two clubs.But last season changed all that.Spurs appeared to be Leicesters likeliest and closest rivals in their charge towards the title, as more prestigious clubs fell away. But a crucial 1-0 win by the Foxes at White Hart Lane in January ensured that there was always a gap between the two sides. And a string of disappointing results in the final month for Saturdays north London hosts ensured that Leicester did indeed claim a historic and deserved Premier League crown.However, the animosity that sprung up between the two clubs during that run-in has yet to dissipate and will be the underlying theme to this weekends meeting.Weve got a massive game against Leicester, which will mean a lot to everyone for different reasons, so everyone is now fully focused on that, Tottenham midfielder Eric Dier said.I feel like we were in a title race with them last season and they got the better of us in the game at home and that changed where the league went. Its an important game for us.Claudio Ranieris Leicester have struggled to recreate their title-winning form so far this season and are still searching for a first away win of the campaign -- having lost all four times so far on the road. No English champion in the past 83 years have lost five straight away games in their title defence.However, the Foxes did show the early shoots of recovery last weekend, running out 3-1 winners over Crystal Palace to boost them into mid-table. And Ranieri says that performance showed signs that the teams togetherness has returned.Against Crystal Palace we went back to our old philosophy, everybody closed, everybody with the same discipline and I recognised them again, said Ranieri. Its important we dont go back and we stay this way.Striker Shinji Okazaki encapsulates Leicesters brand togetherness and the striker ended a run of 13 league appearances without a goal with his strike against Palace. However, the Japan international is wary of Saturdays hosts and the motivation they will take from the disappointment of last season.Last season we were top of the league, but behind us Tottenham were very strong, Okazaki said. I remember the Chelsea game against Tottenham that ended 2-2 so that we won the league. That is a great memory but maybe this will also give Tottenham motivation on Saturday to beat us. I think this makes it a very tough match.Okazaki could be in line for another start, as Ranieri has tended to rest his star players ahead of Champions League fixtures. Leicester have a game against Copenhagen coming up on Wednesday.Andy King is expected to be fit for a return in midfield, but summer signing Nampalys Mendy remains unavailable.Tottenham are unsure if key centre-back Toby Alderweireld will be fit in time for a comeback from injury on Saturday, while first-choice centre-forward and last seasons Premier League top-scorer Harry Kane is highly unlikely to feature as he continues his recovery from an ankle problem.

SAN DIEGO -- The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres tangle in Game 2 of a three-game series on Wednesday, with the National League West champions seeking to keep their mojo.Its about playing good baseball, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. Not to get complacent and lose that edge.Roberts has been on squads that have clinched playoff spots and gone soft. This is his first go-around as a manager heading into the postseason, but hes going to lean on his experience as a player.I have been on teams that continued to keep that momentum and Ive been on teams that went the other way, Roberts said.Its easy to keep the Dodgers focus. While they know theyll play the Washington Nationals in the National League Divisional Series, they arent quite sure where.The Nationals, who have been hit by injuries, led the Dodgers by just two games for home-field advantage.Washington picked up a game on the Dodgers as they fell to the Padres 7-1 in the opener.Knowing that we have something to play for, that is an incentive for us, Roberts said. I think considering the way we have played this year at home (53-28) we put a lot value on it. Its not the be-all, end-all, but we are going to try and catch the Nationals.I think regardless of the injuries we still had the mindset to go after them. But it does kind of have us looking at them and approaching them different. It changes the landscape of their club. They are still a very good club.First the Dodgers catch up with Luis Perdomo (8-10, 5.59). The right-hander has been among the positive signs for the Padres near the end of their 10th year of missing the playoffs.He is one of those guys that att the end of the year we are going to smile about, Padres manager Andy Green said.dddddddddddd He continues to make strides.His biggest step has been mastering his slider. Work with pitching coach Darren Balsley has paid off. Over his last 15 starts, Perdomo has gone 6-8 with a 3.90 ERA.If its not working, he is able to fix it pitch-to-pitch instead of game-to-game, Green said. Now hes able to make that adjustment.Perdomo had never pitched above Double-A before the season.He had to get a belief that he could plow through a major-league lineup with his slider, Green said.Roberts counters with Jose De Leon (2-0, 5.52 ERA) in this battle between right-handed rookies. De Leon last pitched on Sept. 18 at Arizona, allowing six runs (four earned) on seven hits in 3 2/3 innings.De Leon notched his first major-league win on Sept. 4, beating the Padres at Dodgers Stadium. He struck out nine Padres without issuing a walk.Roberts knows he has some difficult decisions ahead as fringe players jockey for spots on the playoff roster. This last week of the season will serve as an audition for some as they try to prove their worth to Roberts and the front office.That is what these guys play for, to see things through the playoffs, Roberts said. We are going to have some tough conversations, but it is a compliment to our guys that we have so many good players.The Padres have many good prospects -- such as slugger Hunter Renfroe, fresh from a two-homer, seven-RBI game -- and theyll be on display against the Dodgers.
