This weekend kicks off with an in-form Harry Kane looking to continue his single-handed destruction of all in his path with Tottenham Hotspur away at newly-promoted Huddersfield Town.
Spurs are playing with a freedom and intensity away from home that they are so far failing to match at Wembley and the Terriers, despite their fine start to the season and good defensive record, will be aware of this.
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.

What times does it start?
The game kicks off at 12.30pm on Saturday 30 September at the John Smith’s Stadium.
Where can I watch it?
The match will be broadcast on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event with coverage starting at 11.30am or you can alternatively follow The Independent’s live blog.
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.
Player to watch?
Harry Kane. Who else?

53 mins: Kieran Trippier is attended to by the physio after clashing with Tom Ince in the air. It looks like the full-back has hurt is back or neck.
55 mins: Trippier comes back and is in action straight away. He's exchanges passes with Kane and sprints towards the byline but his touch lets him down slightly and it's out for a goal kick.
58 mins: It's a yellow card for Dele Alli for diving in the box. He runs to the left of Jonas Lossl and, while the keeper doesn't get anything on the ball, Alli has gone down theatrically and with little or no contact. Poor from the Spurs man.
59 mins: Jan Vertonghen has launched one from 35 yards and that has gone way over the bar.
Meanwhile, a couple of subs for Huddersfield. Off go Mooy and Lowe and on come Malone and Billing.
65 mins: Another high boot, this time from Kichunga sees the Huddersfield man booked. He was going for the ball but there was a scream from Vertonghen as the top of his boot connected with Vertonghen. Not much difference between that and the one from Trippier earlier though...
68 mins: The intensity has died down a little in the second-half with fewer chances for both sides, but Spurs are looking increasingly in control.
70 mins: Better from Huddersfield as Malone gets to the left byline and chips it back into the danger zone. Alderweireld gets it away though.
73 mins: Corner for Spurs as Tommy Smith goes down with a knock. Eriksen whips it in and falls to Dier on the edge of the box but his shot is deflected wide. Eriksen switches to the other side...
75 mins: Eriksen's second effort comes to nothing... and that will be his last action in the match as he's replaced by Moussa Sissoko.
80 mins: Not much to report from the last few minutes with Spurs looking like they've dropped a couple of gears.
