Tottenham show no signs of slowing down in their relentless pursuit of Premier League leaders Chelsea after Bournemouth became the latest team to be cowed at White Hart Lane.

"Tottenham just swatted Watford away last week to make it six league wins in a row and I can not see Bournemouth stopping them from making it seven", said Lawrenson.

"It was great to be back out there", Kane said.

"We are fighting to be there, for the top four".

He did not feature in this season's reverse fixture in October however, which was then the first time Spurs had failed to score in a league game in 2016/17.

"For the second consecutive season we are there and it's fantastic for the club".

Having made his return from an ankle injury in the win against Watford, Harry Kane is in line to make his first start in nearly five weeks.

Should Tottenham prevail on Saturday, they will have won seven successive games for the first time in the post-1992 Premier League era.

The deal to evacuate the four towns is the latest in a string of such agreements through Syria's six-year civil war. According to AFP , about 5,000 of the government evacuees and 2,200 rebel evacuees were stranded.

Mauricio Pochettino's side put on a consummate attacking performance as they bettered their 2015-16 points total and equalled the record winning streak set by the likes of Jimmy Greaves, Terry Venables and Dave Mackay in the Spurs team of 1967.

Referee Michael Oliver will get the match under way in north London with three sharp peeps of his whistle at 12.30pm (BST). The Blues play Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Tottenham Hotspur have closed the gap on Chelsea to four points with a comprehensive 4-0 win over Bournemouth at White Hart Lane.

In Premier League history, just three English players have been involved in more goals than Alli (40) before they turned 21 - Robbie Fowler (76), Michael Owen (73) and Wayne Rooney (66).

It was a little too easy for the striker as he controlled Dele Alli's low cross, turning Simon Francis with no trouble at all before curling the ball into Boruc's bottom right corner.

"I think that the system and the philosophy helps a lot Christian and Dele, and they help a lot with the system and the philosophy".

Eric Dier was preferred in midfield and both he and Son justified their selections, giving Pochettino a selection dilemma ahead of next Saturday's FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea.
