You guessed it: Harry Kane, who has long been out injured, made a recovery in time for Sunday’s North London Derby. To little surprise, last season’s Golden Boot winner was named in the starting eleven.
He was sidelined in mid-September with an ankle injury, but will be let loose on the Gunners from kick-off. Although the Englishman is a talented striker who should be feared by many, Wenger’s boys in particular should have a lot to worry about.
The Koscielny-Mustafi partnership, joined by the reliable Monreal and Bellerin on the flanks, has steadied Wenger’s defense, Nonetheless, there are a few reasons why they should be sweating in the face of the Spurs ace.
First of all is Kane’s record against Le Prof’s boys. Although Harry’s rise to fame occurred not too long ago, he already boasts four goals in the North London Derby in only three Premier League encounters. In addition, Spurs are unbeaten in their last four league clashes with Arsenal.

Furthermore, his attacking threat in undeniable, so much that Spurs suffer badly in his absence. In the games he missed, Pochettino’s crew scored only six goals despite taking 90 shots.
