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?

82 mins: Subs for both teams as Walker-Peters comes on for Trippier and Whitehead replaces Hogg.
85 mins: Walker-Peters has come on and allowed Malone lots of space on two separate attacks. One slip and one over-hit cross means he isn't punished for it.
86 mins: A lightning quick counter-attack from Spurs, driven by Dele Alli sees Moussa Sissoko get in on goals... but it's a limp left footed effort and Lossl saves with ease.
Harry Kane, on a hat-trick, has been subbed by Pochettino. Can't imagine he'll be too pleased with that. Son comes on in his place.
89 mins: Some awful play from Sissoko, running towards his own goal and passing it back sees Huddersfield attack. Harry Winks makes a cynical foul and gets a yellow card, but his teammate left him little option.
90 mins: We'll be having three minutes of injury time.
GOAL! Huddersfield 0 Tottenham 4 (Sissoko)
Spurs break again, with Son and Davies linking up. The Welshman chips it into the middle, Sissoko shoots towards goal and it takes a horrible deflection off Schindler and dribbles over the line. A dominant, comfortable second-half display from Spurs is rewarded with another goal at the death.
Here's a recap of all the action from the John Smith's Stadium:
