Striker-Harry Kane

If you expected to see any other name leading the Spurs attack you’re absolutely insane. If Kane can walk upright on Wednesday, he’ll get the nod as the club’s starting number 9.

I’m interested to see if the occasion of Champions League football can kickstart his season. He’s been below-par during the club’s opening four Premier League matches. It’s possible that playing on such a grand stage can help him shake off the negative clouds of England’s Euro failures.

More from Tottenham Hotspur

Such an occurrence would be perfection from Pochettino’s point of view. He knows that Kane has to start firing on all cylinders if his club are going to make a run at a Premier League title. The same is true if Tottenham are going to advance out of the Champions League group stage.

Harry Kane will lead the Tottenham line against Monaco, there can be no question about that. The only question is whether or not he can fire his Spurs to victory in their Champions League opener.
