Harry Kane will be eyeing the derby goalscoring records of two Arsenal greats as he prepares for Sunday's showdown at Emirates Stadium.
The Tottenham Hotspur forward's strike at home to Chelsea on Saturday took him to 25 Premier League goals in London derbies for Spurs.
That leaves him joint-sixth on the all-time list, level with Robin van Persie's tally for Arsenal.
A goal at Emirates Stadium on Sunday would take Kane above the Dutchman and closer to Ian Wright's total of 28 goals against opponents from the capital.
Most goals in PL London derbies
Player | Goals | Derbies played |
---|---|---|
Thierry Henry | 43 | 59 |
Frank Lampard | 32 | 139 |
Teddy Sheringham | 32 | 70 |
Jermain Defoe | 28 | 87 |
Ian Wright | 28 | 53 |
Robin van Persie | 25 | 54 |
Harry Kane | 25 | 39 |
Dutch target
Kane's form against Arsenal would suggest he has a good chance of surpassing Van Persie this weekend.
He has scored seven PL goals against Arsenal in only seven matches, including the only goal in their last meeting, at Wembley in February.
Another strike on Sunday would also edge the 25-year-old closer to the Spurs player with the best goal record in London derbies.
Teddy Sheringham struck 32 times for the club in such matches.
