THE LOWDOWN
TOTTENHAM
The pressure is very much on Tottenham Hotspur and Ange Postecoglou as they try and chase down a top four spot and UEFA Champions League qualification. Spurs were hammered 4-2 by Liverpool at Anfield last weekend in a game in which the Reds were 4-0 up was their fourth successive defeat in the league.
They begin this match day sitting seven points behind Aston Villa but they do have a game-in-hand on the Villains, albeit that game-in-hand is against Manchester City. It has been a fairly remarkable collapse since Spurs hammered Villa by four goals to nil at Villa Park in mid-March. They have won just two of seven matches since then.
BURNLEY
Vincent Kompany has remained in charge throughout what has been a difficult season for Burnley but the last few months have seen them majorly improve in the last month or so. They do still have a chance of survival as we head into the final two games of the season but it would take something special.
If Nottingham Forest lose this weekend and Burnley manage to win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium then the Clarets will have the chance to leapfrog Forest on the final day of the season when they host their rivals at Turf Moor. Burnley, though, missed a big chance last weekend as they were hammered 4-1 by Newcastle United.
THE TEAM NEWS
TOTTENHAM
In his pre-match press conference, Australian coach Ange Postecoglou has said that he has no fresh injury concerns after their 4-2 loss at Anfield last weekend.
That does mean, though, the likes of Fraser Forster, Ben Davies, Destiny Udogie, Ryan Sessegnon, Manor Solomon and Timo Werner all remain unavailable and are expected to be out for the rest of this season.
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Pedro Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Emerson Royal; Bissouma, Rodrigo Bentancur; Kulusevski, Maddison, Son; Richarlison
UNAVAILABLE: Forster (Injured), Davies (Injured), Udogie (Injured), Sessegnon (Injured), Solomon (Injured), Werner (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE:
BURNLEY
Vincent Kompany has confirmed that defender Maxime Esteve is expected to be available for this one, having been described as ‘fine’ after a recent illness that saw him substituted last weekend.
The Clarets are still without young Italian attacker Luca Koleosho as well as the likes of Jordan Beyer, Ameen Al Dakhil, Aaron Ramsey and Nathan Redmond.
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Muric; Assignon, O’Shea, Esteve, Vitinho; Cullen, Berge; Odobert, Brownhill, Larsen; Foster
UNAVAILABLE: Beyer (Injured), Al Dakhil (Injured), Ramsey (Injured), Redmond (Injured), Koleosho (Injured)

THE PREDICTION
If Tottenham Hotspur do win this and Aston Villa suffer a defeat at Anfield a day later then Spurs will be four points adrift of Villa with their game-in-hand against their arch-rivals’ title rivals, Manchester City, in the coming midweek. Burnley will likely be gung-ho towards the end of this game if they have a sniff of winning so whilst Spurs are favourites, their poor form and Burnley’s likely game plan means it should be quite a fun watch for the neutral.
TIP: TOTTENHAM TO WIN & OVER 2.5 GOALS
