Kane has been in excellent form this season, with 17 goals and 1 assist in 22 Premier League appearances.

He is hoping to score in his third consecutive Premier League game.

Tottenham will be without two key players, Hugo Lloris and Cristian Romero, for the game against Leicester.

[{"selector":"#anim-a36fede7-39c8-43c4-bbf0-f3be0001561a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b80a7c31-f235-412d-a237-e63da59454d5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -592.30026%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Despite the absence of two key players, Leicester will still fancy their chances of getting a result against Tottenham.

However, if Kane has a good day, Leicester could be in trouble.
