Tottenham to make title tilt with homegrown hitman Kane

Chelsea

Kane has a history of taking a month or so to get back to scoring ways after the summer break, and this fixture provides a perfect chance to dispel any doubts about his early season rustiness.

This is a fixture that Kane has relished and flourished in during past meetings. In fact, in his previous three league meetings with the Stamford Bridge outfit he’s netted as many strikes.

Conte’s new look Chelsea system looks solid for now, but challenge it with real offensive quality in the form of Kane and it may be a different story. Pochettino’s players are 3/1 to collect three points from their away trip to Chelsea.

Swansea City

Playing relegation threatened Welsh side Swansea should fill Kane with goalscoring anticipation, as Bob Bradley’s outfit remain a porous team.

Without a win since the opening day of the season, the Swans look prime Kane prey. The last time the striker played 90 minutes in the league against Swansea, he found the net – precedent to indicate he will keep his form going.

Manchester United

United aren’t firing on all cylinders right now and a trip to Old Trafford doesn’t fill teams with the dread it once did.

Spurs have actually won two of their previous four meetings in Manchester and Kane should fancy his chances. Though he has never found the net against England’s most successful Premier League club, current form suggests the Lilywhites could yet again cause an Old Trafford upset and stake their claim as real title contenders.

Tottenham are 18/1 to go a step better this season and lift their first Premier League trophy.

Hull City

To round off Pochettino’s important five-game spell, is a home game to Hull. The blunt Tigers have conceded 17 in just six games – something Kane should take full advantage of.

The England striker has faced Hull on five occasions in all competitions and put three past the Tigers.

In Spurs’ next five games, there is real potential to drive onwards after a positive point away at Arsenal. The return of Kane in Dele Alli’s absence is a huge boost considering the opposition in their upcoming encounters.
