1. Harry Kane

Tottenham’s star striker ended his goal drought against Stoke, but it still wasn’t a great performance. Kane will need to play much better against Monaco to really build momentum.

Like Alli, he’ll also want to use the occasion of Champions League competition to exorcise his Euro demons. If he can score a goal or two against Monaco, many fans will forget all about his corner kicks in France this summer.

Kane is clearly one of the biggest reasons that Spurs even find themselves in the competition. His terrific form last season powered Tottenham to their third place Premier League finish. Curiously, Tottenham have gotten off to a solid start in league play this season without any large contributions from their centre forward.

Kane will enter the Monaco match a little more well-rested than normal. He didn’t have to play all 90 minutes against Stoke. Look for that 20 or so minutes of rest to allow Kane to run his socks off during Wednesday’s match.
