Former Tottenham Coach Says Harry Kane Will Decide Result Of Capital One Cup Final v Chelsea

5) Harry Kane v John Terry

Kane scored twice against the Blues when they played in January, and he may be set to haunt them again.

It will be up to Stamford Bridge legend Terry to stop the 21-year-old. If he is allowed to run riot again it will not be a great day for Chelsea.

4) Diego Costa v Jan Vertonghen

At the other end of the pitch Vertonghen will have the task of keeping Premier League top scorer Diego Costa quiet. With 17 goals to his name this season the Spain international will be a danger to Spurs.

3) Cesc Fabregas v Nabil Bentaleb

In the middle of the park it will be down to 20-year-old Bentaleb to keep the creative talents of Fabregas in check. The former Arsenal man is the Blues’ main attacking force, and Tottenham can’t allow him to run the show on Sunday.

2) Christian Eriksen v Ramires

With both Nemanja Matic and John Obi Mikel out of the match with a suspension and an injury respectively it is likely that Ramires will start. He will be up against Christian Eriksen, who similarly to Fabregas for Spurs can’t be allowed to pull strings from midfield.

1) Eden Hazard v Kyle Walker

England international Walker will have to keep one of the best players in the world quiet on Sunday. Hazard could tear the North London club apart if he is allowed to run free.
