Harry Kane's incredible record - and why Spurs will have to be wary of Leicester City

Spurs face Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Saturday, and for Harry Kane it will hopefully be more of the same against the Foxes.

The England captain has notched three goals so far this season in five Premier League matches, but will be looking to add to that figure against a team he prefers playing against.

The 26-year-old famously spent time on loan at the King Power Stadium earlier in his career, but has scored more goals against Leicester than any other side, racking up 13 goals in 12 games in all competitions.

Kane was also on target in midweek as Spurs took a 2-2 draw home from Olympiacos in the Champions League, putting his team ahead from the penalty spot.

Brendan Rodgers praises Mauricio Pochettino

Mauricio Pochettino's side will have to be wary, however, as they come up against a Leicester City side in good form.

Despite their first loss of the season last weekend to Manchester United, Brendan Rodgers' side have the same record as Spurs so far this season, with two wins and two draws.

And they're going up against historically one of their favourite opponents.

Leicester City have scored 44 Premier League goals against Spurs - more than against any other side in the league.

But they've also only conceded more goals against Manchester United (58) and Arsenal (57) than Mauricio Pochettino's side (48).
