Crystal Palace manager Sam Allardyce insists he would not swap in-form Christian Benteke for Harry Kane

Sam Allardyce insists he would not swap Christian Benteke for Harry Kane right now, as two of the Premier League's most in-form strikers face each other when Crystal Palace take on Tottenham on Wednesday evening.

Palace forward Benteke has hit five goals in his last five games, a contribution that has played a major factor in the side climbing away from relegation.

His total tally for the season, which has had some bad patches, is 19 goals in 37 games for club and country.
