Tottenham beat Cardiff as Harry Kane scores again

Relive all the action from the Cardiff City Stadium

Premier League weekend round-up: Liverpool extend lead at top in final games of 2018

Harry Kane ended his Cardiff hoodoo as Tottenham stayed in the Premier League title picture with a 3-0 win in the Welsh capital.

Kane had previously scored at least once against 27 of the 28 Premier League opponents he had faced, with Cardiff the solitary team he had failed to net against in three previous encounters.

But Kane needed only two and a half minutes to put that record straight on New Year's Day, and further goals from Christian Eriksen and Son Heung-min provided a swift panacea to the pain of losing 3-1 at home to Wolves on Saturday.

What time does it start?

Cardiff City vs Tottenham kicks off at 5:30pm (GMT).

Where can I watch it?

The match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Premier League.

Player to watch…

Harry Kane: After a slower start to the season, the England international is beginning to find his form and, as a result, the back of the net. He’s scored four goals in his last three matches and can be lethal if the players surrounding him can provide good service. With Kane being one of the best strikers in the world, the Cardiff defence are going to need to be on their A-game.

Form guide…

Cardiff City: WDLLWL

Tottenham: LWWWWW

Odds…

Cardiff to win: 6/1

Tottenham to win: 12/25

Draw: 17/5

Prediction…

Cardiff City 0-2 Tottenham: Similarly to Arsenal, it’s likely that Tottenham will come out quick from the blocks, looking to put right what went so badly wrong at the weekend. Both Kane and Son Heung-min are on top form and I feel Tottenham will be relatively comfortable in this one.

TEAM NEWS

Cardiff surprised Leicester at the King Power on Saturday and Neil Warnock preserves all-but-one of that winning team.

The only change comes in the front three, where Junior Hoilett is replaced by Bobby Reid.

TEAM NEWS

It is a mark of Mauricio Pochettino's faith in his squad that he does not ring the changes despite their shock defeat to Wolves last time out.

Danny Rose comes in for Ben Davies, but the other ten starters remain as Spurs look to get back on the right track.

With the transfer window open, might Spurs take the bold step of making a signing in January?

A slew of injuries has impacted Mauricio Pochettino's squad depth, and thus reinforcements may be necessary. Looking ahead to all the potential ins and outs for Spurs, it's Jack Pitt-Brooke:

These two clubs have now met thrice in the Premier League, and each previous encounter has finished 1-0 to Spurs, including at Wembley earlier this season with a Eric Dier's eighth-minute goal securing the home side victory.

You imagine Tottenham would take that again today, but Neil Warnock will have designs on continuing his side's strong recent run. Less than 15 minutes until kick-off in Wales...

The players emerge from the tunnel for their first taste of football in 2019.

Who will get their year off to the perfect start? Kick-off is imminent.

It looks as if Bobby Reid may gave begun the game as Cardiff's forward-most player centrally, with the immensely versatile Callum Paterson shifted to the right of midfield.

Heung-Min Son and Dele Alli in support of Harry Kane, with Christian Eriksen and Moussa Sissoko alongside Harry Winks anchoring the midfield.

GOAL! Cardiff 0-1 Tottenham (Harry Kane, 3 minutes)

​By pure fluke, Harry Kane has scored against every Premier League team he has faced and Spurs lead!

What a start for Spurs!

Kieran Trippier clips in a dangerous cross that is cut out by Sean Morrison and Sol Bamba, but the pair rather tangle and fail to clear the ball.

Morrison hacks at the loose ball, sending it only into Kane's knee and has to watch in horror as it rebounds off the striker and trickles over the line with Neil Etheridge unable to scramble across in time.
