With 99 goals to his name for Tottenham, Harry Kane will be hoping to reach a century in memorable fashion when Chelsea visit Wembley on Sunday.
Last season’s 29-goal top scorer is Betsafe’s 16/5 (4.20) favourite to open the scoring for the first time in the Premier League at Spurs’ temporary home, and priced at 11/10 (2.10) to strike anytime.
While he may have taken his time to get off the mark in previous seasons, the 23-year-old’s strong record in London derbies and a weakened opposition line-up suggest those anytime odds could prove a strong bet.
Kane has struck 18 times in 21 matches against sides from the capital, including a goal in the 4-2 defeat against Antonio Conte’s men when the sides last met back in April.
Also on the scoresheet that day with a third goal in two games against the Blues, Dele Alli represents an even more lucrative prospect at 43/20 (3.15) after hitting the net in the 2-0 opening victory over Newcastle last time out.
Third top scorer for Spurs behind that duo last campaign, Son Heung-Min can be backed at 2/1 (3.00) to get off the mark in this clash, while Christian Eriksen is available at 7/2 (4.50) to breach a defence he scored past back in November.
At the other end of the pitch, Alvaro Morata will be hoping to make his first Chelsea start after making a positive impact as a substitute in last week’s shock defeat against Burnley.
Having scored one goal and set up another at Stamford Bridge, the £58 million signing from Real Madrid is his side’s 5/1 (6.00) favourite to break the deadlock and 9/5 (2.80) to score anytime.
The Spain international was denied a place in the starting line-up by Michy Batshuayi, who is priced at 23/10 (3.30) to boost his own first-team credentials by finding the net at the national stadium.
Considering Eden Hazard, Cesc Fabregas and Pedro are all ruled out, the pressure is on Willian 4/1 (5.00) to offer a threat from midfield, with wing-back Victor Moses rated as the guests’ next most likely goalscorer at lengthy 7/1 (8.00) odds.
