THE LOWDOWN

BURNLEY

  • Burnley’s outstanding 0-3 win over Brighton this past weekend has breathed new life into Sean Dyche’s relegation battlers, who will enter this contest riding the crest of a wave and with genuine belief behind them.
  • Wout Weghorst took a heavy knock against the Seagulls, but battled through the match whilst also opening his goalscoring account for the Clarets and both he alongside Maxwel Cornet are expected to start up top once again, whilst Dyche awaits news on both defender James Tarkowski and midfielder Ashley Westwood.

TOTTENHAM

  • Tottenham stunned the football world last time out, as they brought to an end Man City long unbeaten run by beating Pep Guardiola’s side 2-3 at the Etihad Stadium with a last-gasp Harry Kane winner securing three points for Antonio Conte’s side.
  • Kane was outstanding against the side who supposedly tried to sign him this past summer, linking up brilliantly with Heung-Min Son and new signing Dejan Kulusevski, so it would be no surprise if Conte was to stick with this winning XI for the trip to Turf Moor.

THE TEAM NEWS

BURNLEY

PREDICTED XI (4-4-2): Pope; Roberts, Tarkowski, Mee, Pieters; Lennon, Cork, Brownhill, McNeil; Cornet, Weghorst,

UNAVAILABLE: Gudmundsson (Injured), Vydra (Injured)

QUESTIONABLE: Cornet (Injured), Tarkowski (Isolating), Taylor (Injured), Weghorst (Injured), Westwood (Isolating)

TOTTENHAM

PREDICTED XI (3-4-2-1): Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Emerson. Betancur, Hojbjerg, Sessegnon; Kulusevski, Son; Kane

UNAVAILABLE: Reguilon (Isolating)

QUESTIONABLE: Skipp (Injured), Tanganga (Injured)

THE PREDICTION

Both these teams come into this encounter full of confidence with each desperate to gain three points for different reasons. Tottenham face a different challenge here as they will not be afforded the same amount of space going forward as they were against Man City, as Burnley keep bodies behind the ball and look to utilise their pace going forward combined with the physical prowess of Weghorst. The expectation is that this will prove a close affair with goals at a premium, as has been the case in recent fixtures at Turf Moor. With that in mind, back under 2.5 goals scored for what would be the fifth straight home Premier League fixture for Burnley.

Tip: UNDER 2.5 GOALS
