3.The other London derby and Kane's August goal drought

On to the next London derby over the weekend - West London's Fulham and North London's Tottenham Hotspur.

Newly promoted Fulham may be going into the derby after suffering a loss against Crystal Palace but they're also going into it with a ton of new signings made over the summer (a staggering £100 million worth). Mauricio Pochettino’s Spurs, on the other hand, are going into the game having made no signings at all.

The spotlight will likely be on Spurs' Harry Kane. The English striker has scored zero goals in the month of August in past season. Spurs, however, still managed to pull off a 2-0 win over Newcastle last week even without their star striker's contribution. Goals from Dele Alli and Jan Vertonghen helped the North London side cement a comparatively easy win despite not having performed well.

Fulham will be hoping that this barren run continues at least until Saturday. A stroke of luck would help the side who just came off a loss in their first game and whose defensive capabilities, even with the addition of Calum Chambers and Maxime Le Marchand, may not be as strong as manager Slaviša Jokanović hoped it would be. The game will prove to be a tough test for the Cottagers.

For Spurs, a win would be a much-needed three points while for Kane, a goal is all he needs to end his drought.
