Kane expects Turf test in FA Cup tie at Burnley

Harry Kane has scored 17 goals in all competitions this season

Harry Kane is keen to keep his and Tottenham Hotspur's recent good form going when they face Burnley in The FA Cup on Monday evening.

The England Under-21s striker has scored 17 goals so far this season to boost Spurs' position in the Premier League as Mauricio Pochettino's squad head north for a Third Round Proper tie with Sean Dyche's men.

But despite bagging a brace and creating two more in a stunning 5-3 victory against league leaders Chelsea on New Year's Day, Kane says the Lilywhites will be ready for a thorough test at Turf Moor.

"We all enjoyed the win against Chelsea but we won't get carried away," said Kane.

"We'll keep our feet on the ground and look forward to this game."

The two sides met just over two weeks ago in the league, when Spurs took the three points courtesy of a 2-1 win, with Kane scoring the opening goal at White Hart Lane.

But the 21-year-old saw enough from the Clarets in that game to know this will be a difficult encounter for Spurs.

"We want to do well in all competitions and Burnley away will be a tough tie for us," he added.

"Burnley are a good side, played well at White Hart Lane and they've enjoyed some good results recently. 

"It will be difficult for us, without a doubt."
