Tottenham projected attack

Harry Kane will not be alone in leading the line in terms of first-team starters as Nuno Espirito Santo is going to employ some familiar faces on either side of Harry Kane.

Son Heung-Min – Left forward

Son Heung-Min and Harry Kane have not been singing from the same song sheet thus far in the season. After combining at a record-setting pace last season, no one could have expected that to continue but the bottom really has fallen out. Son choose a shot over Kane in the first half at the weekend and then Kane played a poor ball to his teammate in the box. Getting Son and Kane on the same page and connecting is vital if Spurs are going to do anything this season.

Harry Kane – Center forward

Harry Kane needs to find the net. After missing out last week in the team’s trip to the Netherlands, Harry was virtually non-existent in the West Ham match-up, particularly in the second half. Burnley has actually conceded two more goals than Tottenham in the league, making Wednesday a good opportunity to get back on the score sheet.

Steven Bergwijn – Right forward

None of the Tottenham attackers has played particularly well up to this point in the season. However, at the start of the season, things were looking bright for Steven Bergwijn as he was performing in the preseason and creating some chances. Unfortunately, the injury took Bergwijn away from the team and his best. Fit-again, this is a good opportunity for Bergwijn, Kane, and Son to come together.
