Huddersfield have nine points from six games thus far but now face a run of playing the top teams in the division with Manchester United and Liverpool to follow in the next three games after Spurs’ visit.

It’s a big game for?
Dele Alli. The England midfield has so far failed to hit the heights of last season and has been overtaken by Christian Eriksen has Spurs’ chief operator. However, with Eriksen under the weather this week there is a chance he will be absent leaving Alli to be tasked with supplying Kane up front – something he proved last season he is more than capable of doing.

↵The Spurs players, including Christian Eriksen who missed the midweek Champions League trip to Cyprus, have all been out warming up in the Yorkshire sunshine...
Feast or famine?
Huddersfield's matches this season have seen fewer goals (8) than any other side in the Premier League this season.
So are we about to witness a low-scoring affair, or will Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen continue their fine form?
1 min: An early attack from Spurs, playing in their navy blue away strip, results in a corner which is whipped in by Ben Davies but easily cleared.
5 min: The game hasn't settled into much of a rhythm yet. Spurs have had the more of it... but just as I type that Huddersfield skipper Tommy Smith unleashes a low, rasping left-footed shot from distance but Hugo Lloris is equal to it. That's given the home faithful a bit of a boost.
