Kane confident Chelsea can be caught
Tottenham striker Harry Kane is certain Premier League leaders Chelsea haven't wrapped up the title yet, despite opening up a commanding lead at the top of the table.

After 24 matches in the Premier League season, Chelsea have opened up a nine-point lead at the summit of the standings, with London rivals Spurs their closest challengers.

Kane hasn't given up hope of closing the gap to the Blues, but conceded that a victory over Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday is needed for them stand a realistic chance of catching Antonio Conte's side.

"It's a chance to go seven points clear of them [Liverpool] if we win. We want to catch Chelsea and so it's important to put pressure on them," Kane is quoted as saying by the Times of India.

"I think they are [catchable]. It is nine points – it's only three games. In the Premier League no game is easy and Chelsea know that. They are in good form but all we can do is win our games and see what happens.

"Hopefully they will drop a few points. It's true that Chelsea have the nine-point gap right now but in the Premier League anything can happen. Liverpool dropped points against Hull and Arsenal lost against Watford recently, and who would have expected that?

"These things happen in the EPL and we have to be ready to take advantage if they do."
