HARRY KANE warned Tottenham they must start delivering in big games on the road to have any title chance.
Third-placed Spurs go to Arsenal in the North London derby tomorrow, already eight points adrift of leaders Manchester City.
So far this season, Manchester United are the only one of the big six Spurs have played away — and they lost to Anthony Martial’s late winner.
Under their Argentine boss Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham have won only one of their 16 ‘big six’ aways — at Manchester City in February 2016.
Striker Kane said: “It’s important for us to start beating the big teams away. Not just Arsenal, but all of the top six.
“We’ve done very well at home against them in recent years.
“But if we want to be challenging for the title, these are the games we need to win away.”
Kane is fit and ready after missing England’s friendly draws with Germany and Brazil with a minor knee injury.

He added: “We need to play the way we play against them at home, and find a way to win.”
Talking to Arsenal legend Thierry Henry on Sky, Kane was asked what set him apart as a striker.
He said: “Without boasting too much, I’d say a bit of everything. Holding the ball up, work-rate, things that make me different to just a scorer.”
