Arsenal vs Tottenham Betting: Kane to set the record for north London derby goals

Although usually rested for EFL Cup games, Harry Kane will surely be called upon when Tottenham visit Arsenal on Wednesday.

The England striker hasn't featured in this competition since a 2-1 defeat to the Gunners in September 2015, although looks set for a recall as Mauricio Pochettino seeks revenge for the 4-2 derby defeat in the league earlier this month.

Kane's penalty in that game was his eighth against the local rivals, pulling him level with Emmanuel Adebayor as the all-time top scorer in the north London derby.

On target in seven of his nine encounters with Arsenal, he actually looks a solid anytime bet at 19/20 (1.95) with William Hill, as well as 7/2 (4.50) to open the scoring.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang overshadowed Kane with two goals in that 4-2 victory, but has failed to find the net in three matches since.

Nevertheless, the 29-year-old looks like the hosts' best bet to break the deadlock at 9/2 (5.50) , not to mention the generous 5/4 (2.25) anytime price.

Aubameyang is actually less fancied by the bookies than Alexandre Lacazette, who can be backed at a narrower 11/10 (2.10) to punish the Tottenham defence for the second time in less than a month.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan offered a reminder of his own qualities with two goals against Southampton at the weekend, an is available at 11/5 (3.20) to come up with the goods once again.

While Unai Emery certainly looks spoiled for choice in attacking areas, his opposite number will be pleased by the performances of some of Kane's supporting cast recently.

Son Heung-Min has been on target in three of this last seven games, and is on offer at 11/5 (3.20) to do so once again here.

Meanwhile, Lucas Moura grabbed the crucial equaliser against Barcelona that saw his side into the Champions League knockout stages, and is priced at 2/1 (3.00) to score any high profile goal against the local rivals.
