3. Harry Kane is due

If we Tottenham fans are honest with ourselves, Harry Kane hasn’t played a good match for the club yet this season. Some pessimistic fans might think that will lead to a poor performance against Monaco.

I, on the other hand, am choosing to interpret Kane’s slump as a sign that he’s due for a top-notch performance. He has every motivation in the world to put in a world-class performance at Wembley today.

The extra space on the Wembley pitch might be just what Kane needs to get off the mark too. He’ll have more room to maneuver than usual, which should give him the chance to use his fluid movement to earn more chances in front of goal.

I’ll be really surprised if we don’t see at least an above-average performance from England’s best striker today. In fact, I think there are better than average odds that Kane’s going to find the back of the net.
