Tottenham Hotspur's 37-match unbeaten run against promoted sides, winning 34 and drawing three since losing to Queens Park Rangers in April 2012, is the second longest in the Premier League, after Chelsea’s 63-match run between May 2001 and September 2011.

Cardiff are the only Premier League team of 27 that Harry Kane has faced and not scored against.

Kane is one of only two players from the 28 to have scored 100 Premier League goals  who has struck fewer at home (54 goals) than away (59). Ryan Giggs is the other.
