Tottenham team news: Bergvall out again
As soon as Lucas Bergvall had worked his way back to full fitness, the Sweden international midfielder is now sidelined once again, having been forced off in midweek against Borussia Dortmund due to an ankle injury.
Joao Palhinha also remains a doubt for the visitors, while Xavi Simons is once again set to be available despite his own ankle injury forcing him to play on through pain.
Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence; Gallagher, Gray; Tel, Simons, Odobert; Kolo Muani
Unavailable: Dragusin (Fitness), Davies (Injured), Bentancur (Injured), Bergvall (Injured), Kulusevski (Injured), Kudus (Injured), Maddison (Injured)
Questionable: Palhinha (Injured)
Burnley vs Tottenham prediction
Burnley come into this one on the back of earning themselves a spirited 1-1 draw against Liverpool at Anfield, courtesy of a second-half equaliser scored by Marcus Edwards. They are winless in October in the league but they have now suffered just two defeats in their last seven matches across all competitions.
Thomas Frank appears to have the trust of the Tottenham Hotspur board, despite a 2-1 defeat at home to West Ham United last weekend. Spurs did manage to keep up their impressive form in the UEFA Champions League in midweek as they comfortably defeated German giants Borussia Dortmund by two goals to nil.
Spurs head to Burnley with a bit more optimism and a belief that they can finally get themselves on track but 'Dr Tottenham' appears able to cure any struggler. A low-scoring encounter appears likely.
Burnley vs Tottenham tip: Under 2.5 goals
