Manchester City vs Tottenham is a battle between Harry Kane and Sergio Aguero...two misfiring strikers looking to rediscover form

Forty-one shots. One goal. It is fair to say that last season's standout strikers, Sergio Aguero and Harry Kane, are struggling to find their feet in the new campaign. Both had gruelling summers with which to contend, both returned to pre-season late on, both have spurned numerous clear-cut chances. On Saturday at White Hart Lane, though, one will surely end their barren run.
It is likely to be Aguero, who has scored 10 goals in seven games against the north Londoners. There is no team in England against whom he has a better record, no team against whom he enjoys playing more. And his current malaise, if we are to call it that, is not for the want of trying. He is playing in the league's most vicious attack and, as such, no player has had more 'big' chances. But no player has missed more, either.
Saturday's match would, historically, offer a perfect chance to rediscover his scoring touch, yet Spurs have shown signs of increasing resolve. With Eric Dier protecting the defence and Toby Alderweireld bringing a new level of serenity to the back line, Spurs now boast the second-best defensive record in the division, behind only Manchester City themselves.
Kane, meanwhile, like Aguero, has yet to deliver. He has netted in an England shirt, an expert lob followed by a precision finish, but has been denied in all manner of ways when playing for Tottenham (he has hit the woodwork, had goals disallowed and shots cleared off the line). If he is to finally open his account, doing so against the league leaders would be a fine time
