5. Harry Kane is in fine goal-scoring nick

Spurs’ talismanic striker Harry Kane has been in great form of late. Having been out due to injury in the early parts of the season, he was sorely missed by Mauricio Pochettino’s team, but since his return, the North Londoners have been scoring goals at ease.

More from Tottenham Hotspur

Having scored a magnificent double on his return against West Ham United, Kane scored for the Lily Whites in their loss to Monaco in round five of the Champions league group fixtures. The English striker then celebrated a new contract with another double over Swansea over the past weekend. He was also at hand to score for Spurs in the Champions League tie against CSKA Moscow on Wednesday.

Kane is Tottenham’s top scorer in the Premier League with 7 goals from 9 appearances. With him leading the line, Tottenham look a completely different team. His direct running combined with his killer instincts for goal and his clinical finishing, he will be a big nuisance for the United defence.
