Sky Sports football pundit Stephen Kelly thinks that Tottenham Hotspur Striker Harry Kane could “really exploit” the double injury blow that took place at Arsenal. The fullback duo of Kieran Tierney and Oleksandr Zinchenko will most probably be unavailable for the North London derby on Saturday.
England International Harry Kane is the top scorer in the history of the North London derby with a total of 13 goals. Stephen Kelly shared that Kane ‘relishes’ this fixture and he is a player who just ‘rises to the occasion.
Antonio Conte has made a good start to their Premier League campaign. And this time they’ll travel to the Emirates Stadium as they’ll try to extend their winning run.
The England Captain has netted the ball six times in seven fixtures. We can’t compare it with the numbers acquired by Erling Haaland. The Norwegian striker is breaking new Premier League records every single match day.
Nevertheless, Harry Kane’s contribution has great value for Tottenham Hotspur. And there’s no doubt that Kane will be a serious threat for the Gunners on Saturday. And Mikel Arteta should be prepared to face him in the North London derby.
What does Stephen Kelly have to say about Harry Kane and Tottenham Hotspur?
“Everyone knows this is a fixture he relishes,” said Kelly. “He has got 13 goals in this fixture and is the top-scorer in north London derbies.”
“He is just a player who rises to the occasion for the game. He scored a fantastic penalty for England at the weekend. A really pressure situation and he’s just a player that thrives off this fixture. He will be hoping that comes to the forefront.”
Kieran Tierney got injured on international duty while playing for Scotland. While Oleksandr Zinchenko was already out of action before the UEFA Nations League and the International break. And the former Tottenham Hotspur player Stephen Kelly thinks that Spurs can pick benefit from it.
