Spurs are currently 4th in the Premier League having attained 31 points from 17 matches so far. They haven’t quite been the picture of consistency that they have shown in the previous seasons, with uncharacteristic slip-ups from time to time. However, their recent form suggests they are ready for battle on Saturday, with prolific talisman Harry Kane spearheading the Londoners attack. The Englishman has scored 12 goals with one assist this season as he is looking to defend his golden boot accolade.
