Tottenham's Kane Vows To Stop Chelsea's History Bid
Harry
Kane says Tottenham are determined not to let Chelsea set a new Premier
League record when the sides meet at White Hart Lane on Wednesday.
Table-toppers
Chelsea come into the clash on the back of 13 consecutive victories, a
run that matches Arsenal's sequence for wins in a single season from
2001-02.
That
run, which also includes a 2-1 success over Spurs at Stamford Bridge in
November, has seen Antonio Conte's side open up a five-point lead ahead
of Liverpool at the summit.
Spurs
are five points further adrift in fifth, and Kane says there is a focus
among his team-mates to put an end to their visitors' record.
"We definitely don't want to be the team that lets Chelsea break that record," said the striker.
"Of course, we know that's in our mind, we were just talking about it there in the changing room.
"We
don't want to be that team they break the record against so we're fully
focused. It's going to be a great game and we're excited for it."
Last
season Chelsea fought back for a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge that ended
Tottenham's title tilt and handed the trophy to Leicester City, but
Kane believes Spurs are a stronger proposition eight months on.
"I
think we're a better team now, 100 per cent," he said. "I think we're
four or five points better off than at this stage last season and we've
probably not played as well as we did last season either.
"It
shows we're on the right track. A lot of us are bigger, stronger,
better and more experienced so hopefully we can continue that through
the second half of the season."
