Mats Hummels is wary of Harry Kane's threat."Of course, Kane is a big threat. I saw him score two goals on Sunday against Aston Villa.

"We know what a good striker he is. If he is on the pitch, you give him a certain amount of defensive concentration - you focus a little more on him.

"In the whole team, in the offence, they have some pretty nice players. So in the end it doesn't matter who plays.

"It's not that we can chill if he doesn't play because we still have to work on our defence."

Toby Alderweireld believes something special could be on the cards tonight....

"We have to believe," he told the club's official website. At the Lane something special can happen.

"All will depend on how the game is going but if you score an early goal, you never know.

“If they score it’s going to be very difficult."
