Kane Expecting Tough Swansea Test
Harry Kane will lead the Tottenham Hotspur line at the Liberty Stadium this afternoon expecting a tough match from the Swans as we defend our unbeaten home record this season.
Three home Premier League games have yielded seven points for us this season but if we are to extend that run then it will have to be at the expense of a run of seven straight defeats against Tottenham Hotspur.
England striker Kane has been off form in the league for much of the season to date but last week he did break his Premier league duck with one of the goals as Spurs beat Manchester City 4-1 at White Hart Lane.
So as they arrive at the Liberty in good form, Kane is looking for that run to be extended as the Premier League comes to a close for the next international break but he is not expecting an easy test against a Swans side that has not won for four games since the last break.
Kane said "It’s going to be a tough game - they’re a very good side and they play good football, but we’re on good form and we’re playing well
"At the moment we’re full of confidence coming off the back of a 4-1 win against City in our last league game.
"We’ll go there, look to play our brand of football and keep our energy levels high to get the three points."

Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
Swansea reject Cullen contract and trigger one year option Liam Cullen has had his request for a new contract dismissed by Swansea City after discussions broke down last week. The lowest paid ‘senior’ player at the club ( he is twenty five) asked for a better contract increasing his £3,500 a week to around £7,000 a week over three years.
Sam Parker hasn’t turned down a new deal, he is willing to negotiate He was a revelation for the Swans for the few games he played this season, and now it emerges Sam Parker has ‘turned down’ a new Swansea City contract. News is thin on the ground, and some of it just incorrect as he looks to involve his representatives in some further negotiations. Plus his current contract runs for two more years.
Swansea City : The vision is clearer, so Jamal Lowe ? There were some worrying moments for the Swans yesterday, on three occasions mistakes from playing out from the back nearly saw the home side score. And is there now a case for Jamal Lowe to be offered a contract at Swansea ?
Leighton James : His own football revolution With the passing of Leighton James yesterday we have a Saturday night treat for football fans, Swans fans and Wales followers the world over. Who can recall the magic boots imposing themselves on clubs throughout Wales and England ?
