Player to Watch

Harry Kane will want to try and end the season as the top goalscorer. The England front man has scored 22 goals in 28 appearances for Spurs and needs 3 more to overtake Everton’s Romelu Lukaku, who is currently on 24 goals. With his team mates providing the striker goals and being able to create something out of nothing, the striker will be a force to be reckoned with next season in both the Premier League and Champions League.

 

Leicester can win 6 consecutive home games with a win tonight, the first time since 1966.

Spurs are unbeaten in all 3 games played at the King Power Stadium, 2 wins and 1 draw.

All 4 of Tottenham defeats this season have come away from home.
