The Premier League returns this weekend with Tottenham missing Harry Kane and Huddersfield searching for a new manager.
Here, Press Association Sport looks at the talking points ahead of the action.

England captain Kane has been ruled out until March with an ankle injury leaving Spurs with a striker crisis. Son-Heung Min is also away at the Asian Cup while Vincent Janssen is frozen out and Fernando Llorente has started just one league game in 17 months. Lucas Moura seem the only alternative up front but he has been battling a knee problem. Spurs have been reliant on Kane and must now cope or buy a replacement.

Rooted to the bottom of the Premier League Huddersfield are now managerless after David Wagner’s departure. The Terriers host Manchester City on Sunday seven points from the safety line, with a managerial search now taking priority over January reinforcements for their survival effort. Sporting director Olaf Rebbe has also departed as the club look for a fresh start but that increasingly looks like being in the Sky Bet Championship.
