Harry Kane will start for Tottenham in Sunday’s north London derby at the Emirates, with the striker’s return from a long injury hiatus a huge boost for Mauricio Pochettino’s side. The striker has been absent with ankle ligament damage since the middle of September and had been expected to make his comeback against Arsenal. Harry Winks had been on standby to make to make his first Premier League start but the richly promising 20-year-old midfielder is now expected to be among the substitutes. Kane returned to full training on Thursday and his manager has clearly decided that if he is fit enough to be in the squad, he is fit enough to start. Kane has scored in each of the previous three league derbies against Arsenal, including two in the 2-1 home win in February 2015.
