Harry Kane vs Alvaro Morata: The stats behind the rise of the star strikers

Harry Kane and Alvaro Morata will lead their respective clubs' front lines when Tottenham host Chelsea on Sunday, with much attention bound to be on the two strikers at Wembley.

Kane has cemented his spot as one of the Premier League's best forwards, with his back-to-back Golden Boot awards in the last two seasons resulting in the England international being shortlisted for the Fifa Player of the Year award.

Morata, meanwhile, earned a big-money move to champions Chelsea this summer after three seasons in which he won eight trophies at Juventus and Real Madrid.

The Spaniard undoubtedly has an enviable trophy cabinet, but he will now be eager to prove - as Kane has - that he can successfully be the number one striker in his team, which will require a goalscoring return that his Spurs counterpart can boast of.

Born just nine months apart, the two forwards have taken very different paths to get to where they currently are.

But who edges the goal stats out of Kane and Morata? And what do their respective trophy cabinets look like?

Standard Sport's Vaishali Bhardwaj takes a look at the stats behind the rise of two of the most talked-about Premier League strikers in the video above.
