Tottenham ace Harry Kane: What I'm expecting from Arsenal in north London derby

Harry Kane is expecting an Arsenal backlash on Sunday

TOTTENHAM striker Harry Kane is expecting an Arsenal backlash when he visits the Emirates for the first time in his career on Sunday.

 

Despite being in good domestic form, the Gunners head into the derby on the back of a 5-1 thrashing in the Champions League against Bayern Munich.

Spurs head into the clash after wins over Aston Villa and Anderlecht and are just five points behind their rivals in the Premier League, but Kane is expecting a tough clash this weekend, and expects Arsenal to feel added motivation after Wednesday's heavy defeat. 

"They took a bit of a hiding in midweek and they are going to want to put that right," Kane said.

"We have come off two very good wins so we are going into the game on a high and hopefully we can finish the week off well.

"It is going to be a great battle and everyone is looking forward to it. We want to go there, set a high tempo and play well.

"It was not a good night for them (against Bayern). A lot has been said about that result and, as fellow players, you know they will come out firing to try and put things right. So we know what to expect.

 

Kane scored twice against Arsenal in February

"We are going there to win.

"We are going to have great away support there, as we always do, and we are looking forward to it.

"It is a big game coming up on Sunday and we could not have asked for more from the two games this week. I have never played at the Emirates before so hopefully we can go there and get the win."
