Kane had to be replaced midway through the second half during the 2-2 draw with Stoke last weekend, with Erik Lamela coming on in his place. However, Lamela starts alongside Kane at the King Power Stadium due to Eriksen’s absence in a team that is otherwise unchanged.
Leicester have made a stunning start to the season to shut up their critics with two victories on the spin, and manager Claudio Ranieri names an unchanged line-up for the clash.
New signing Gokhan Inler is named on the bench, having completed a £5m move from Italian side Napoli in midweek.
Line-ups:
Tottenham: Lloris, Walker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies; Dier, Mason, Chadli, Dembele, Lamela; Kane.
Subs: Vorm, Rose, Trippier, Alli, Bentaleb, Carroll, Onomah.
Leicester: Schmeichel, De Laet, Huth, Morgan, Schlupp, Albrighton, Drinkwater, King, Mahrez, Okazaki, Vardy.
Subs: Schwarzer, Kanté, Kramarić, Ulloa, Fuchs, Benalouane, Inler.
