Burnley’s Mee prepared to face star striker Kane

He has bagged nine in all competitions so far this season and led the scoring charts last Premier League campaign, but facing Harry Kane holds no fear for Burnley’s Ben Mee.

The defender is approaching 200 senior appearances for the Clarets, and as an ever-present in the Burnley back four he is quickly getting accustomed to life in the Premier League.

His side visit White Hart Lane on Sunday with no win on the road in seven attempts this season, and Mee knows the importance of picking up points away from Turf Moor if they are to survive for a second consecutive season in the top flight.

“It’s going to be a tough game but it’s enjoyable pitting your wits against players like that. It’s been a good experience this season,” said 27-year-old Mee.

“We would like to pick up some results away from home, which would make it even better.

“But I am enjoying it and enjoying playing against these quality players and quality strikers.

“So hopefully I can continue playing in the team. It’s my aim to play in every game and do as well as I can.

“It’s difficult to get your head round it but we need to perform away from home, which we haven’t been doing. That’s the bottom line.

“We need to play like we do at home, without fear, and prove we can play away from home.”
