The Spurs camp must be pumping with a high dose of adrenaline with the victory over the Spurs. However, Antonio Conte and the players are aware that they have to keep their feet on the ground. This season at times they have done well and then dropped points when they were expected to get three points. Also, they still need Arsenal to drop points for a top-four finish.
While Burnley have managed to make sure that their Premier League survival remains in their hands. Currently, they are level on points with Leeds but ahead on goal difference. Thus they are also in desperate need of points. Burnley will be hoping for a repeat of the reverse fixture where they got all three points.
However, the reverse fixture was at Turf Moor where they managed to be braver with the ball. They won’t be as adventurous as they were previously. Thus Conte’s men will come up against a low block. In order to open this low block, they will try to move the ball quickly and stretch Burnley’s defence. On the other hand, the Clarets will look to be more defensive and try to score through set-pieces.
Cristian Romero will miss the game due to injury. While Oliver Skipp, Sergio Reguilon, Japhet Tanganga, and Matt Doherty all remain long-term absentees.
James Tarkowski was substituted against Aston Villa due to a hamstring injury. Not only this the injury list keeps on growing. The likes of Ben Mee and Jay Rodriguez, Johann Berg Gudmundsson, Ashley Westwood, and Matej Vydra all are out injured.
Tottenham Hotspur: Hugo Lloris, Davinson Sanchez, Eric Dier, Ben Davies, Emerson Royal, Rodrigo Bentancur, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Ryan Sessegnon, Dejan Kulusevski, Harry Kane, Son Heung-Min
Burnley: Nick Pope; Connor Roberts, Nathan Collins, Erik Pieters, Charlie Taylor; Dwight McNeil, Jack Cork, Josh Brownhill, Maxwell Cornet, Wout Weghorst, Robert Brady
This will be the first time the two managers are facing each other.
The man in form for Spurs at this moment. The South Korean can’t just stop scoring. He has already scored 21 Premier League goals. Thus he will be expected to be on the score sheet against the away side as well.
The Clarets need a big game from the Englishman. If he is able to frustrate Spurs with his saves they will be demoralized while Burnley will believe that can get away with something. Thus Pope needs to be at his lethal best for his team.
Goalkeeper: Nick Pope
Defenders: Ben Davies, Erik Pieters, Matthew Lowton
Midfielders: Dejan Kulusevski, Rodrigo Bentancur, Aaron Lennon, Maxwell Cornet
Attackers: Harry Kane, Son Heung-Min
Given the form of the two sides and quality, it should result in a victory for the home side. It could be that the Spurs finish the game early or leave it late.
