Burnley vs Tottenham Hotspur

Turf Moor is the venue as 18th-placed Burnley take on an out-of-form Tottenham Hotspur in a hard-to-predict Premier League fixture.

An action-packed 3-3 draw with Crystal Palace last time out took Burnley’s unbeaten run in the Premier League to four matches (W1, D3), but it wasn’t enough to lift them away from the drop zone. Sean Dyche’s men have now won just one of their last 15 Premier League fixtures (D6, L8), registering a mere one clean sheet in that run. However, the signs are encouraging, with the ‘Clarets’ netting nine goals across their last four Premier League outings, more than they had across their previous 13 in the competition combined. Burnley’s resurrection will be on the line, as they go up against a Tottenham side they’ve beaten only once in their last 12 top-flight H2Hs (D3, L8), courtesy of a 2-1 win at Turf Moor in February 2019.

Meanwhile, Tottenham go into this matchday on the back of a shock 2-1 loss to sub-par Slovenian side Mura in midweek Europa Conference League action. Yet, ‘Spurs’ came from a 1-0 HT deficit to beat Leeds United 2-1 at home last time out, halting a three-match winless run in the Premier League (D1, L2). Chances have been at a premium for the visitors, with only relegation-threatened attempting fewer shots than Tottenham (124) and scoring fewer goals than ‘Spurs’ (11) so far this season. But the Londoners can draw confidence from their free-scoring form against Burnley, having found the net in all but one of their last 14 Premier League H2Hs. Tottenham recorded a telling eight clean sheets during that 14-game sequence, suggesting they could be hard to penetrate.
