The comeback of Harry Kane is a major boost ahead of the finals for Tottenham. The Spurs team has managed without him, but life with him is much easier for Tottenham. The England captain limped off the pitch against Manchester City, missed the second-leg, and missed the semifinals.

Liverpool's solid defence is a tough nut to crack for any team and sometimes, crossing and lobbed balls towards a target #9 is the only relief against them. For that tactic to be employed, Tottenham needs Kane, who happens to be their best forward in aerial duels.

Virgil van Dijk is a great defender and the best this season, but should there be any chance to beat him, it is by Kane's constant plays on the shoulder of the defence. We saw how van Dijk's reading of the game is not his best quality, as Alba was able to find Suarez with ease in the first leg of the semis. That's how Kane and his teammates can try to beat the big Dutchman.
