Sunday’s Premier League action from White Hart Lane sees title-challenging Tottenham Hotspur take on a Swansea City side still dangerously close to the bottom three.

Spurs beat previous championship favourites Manchester City last time out in the league and since then have been eliminated from the FA Cup and sealed their progress to the last sixteen of the Europa League.

They begin the weekend two points behind leaders Leicester City, though that gap could be extended as the Foxes take on Norwich City on Saturday afternoon.

Top scorer Harry Kane is set to return despite missing Thursday’s win over Fiorentina with a broken nose though Moussa Dembele, Tom Carroll, Jan Vertonghen and Clinton Njie are all missing.

Kane is favourite to open the scoring at 4.2 (16/5) with Paddy Power, with Christian Eriksen is an 8.0 (7/1) chance with Bet 365.

The home win is 1.5 (1/2) with Bet Victor, with the visitors as highly priced as the 9.0 (8/1) on offer from Betfred. The draw can be backed at 4.5 (7/2) with a number of firms.

Unlike their opponents, Swansea haven’t played since the last round of league fixtures, when they narrowly lost to Southampton.

They sit three points above the relegation zone, but have lost just one of their last four games on the road.

With no games in fifteen names, Francesco Guidolin has no injury concerns, and should attend the game himself despite recently struggling with a chest infection.

Bafetimbi Gomis is 13.0 (12/1) to get the first goal of the game with Paddy Power, while Gylfi Sigurrdsson is a 15.0 (14/1) chance with Betfair.

The two sides met at the Liberty Stadium back in October, with Tottenham twice coming from behind to salvage a point in a 2-2 draw.

The North Londoners won both of last season’s meetings, with both teams scoring so you may be tempted to back a home win not to nil at 3.75 (11/4) with a number of firms while Betfair have both teams to score at 1.8 (4/5).
