Burnley come into the game on the back of a 1-0 away victory at Nottingham Forest in the second round of the League Cup on Wednesday night.
The only goal of the match was scored in the 90th minute and it was the first victory of the season for Burnley following their promotion from the Championship.
Burnley started their Premier League campaign with a 3-0 home defeat at the hands of defending champions, Manchester City.
The Clarets were 2-0 down at half time and had a man sent off at the end of the game. Having had a game postponed, Burnley played their second league fixture of the season last weekend and went down 3-1 at home against Aston Villa.
The away team were 2-0 up after 20 minutes and despite scoring an early goal in the second half, Burnley conceded again just after the hour mark.
Trends show Burnley have lost each of their last 4 home Premier League matches and have seen over 2.5 goals in each of those 4 games.
Tottenham Hotspur travel up to Turf Moor having been eliminated from the League Cup on penalties at Fulham.
It was the home team who opened the scoring courtesy of an own goal in the 19th minute but Spurs scored the equaliser shortly after half time. The game finished 1-1 and it was Fulham who held their nerve from the penalty spot.
The loss at Fulham was the first competitive defeat of the season for Spurs.
They started their Premier League campaign with a 2-2 draw at Brentford and produced a good performance to beat Manchester United 2-0 at home in their following league game. Spurs beat Bournemouth 2-0 away last weekend in the Premier League, scoring one goal in each half.
Trends show Spurs have won only 2 of their last 13 away games in all competitions. In their last 16 matches in all competitions, Spurs have scored at least once.
Team news and Burnley are without suspended forward Anass Zaroury. Jordan Beyer, Darko Churlinov, and Michael Obafemi are injured plus there are doubts over the inclusion of Hjalmar Ekdal, Aaron Ramsey, and Vitinho, who were injured on Wednesday.
Spurs have four players on the treatment table, with Alfie Whiteman, Bryan Gil, Ryan Sessegnon, and Hugo Lloris unavailable.
Burnley have found life tough on their return to the Premier League and this could be another match to forget.
Spurs have looked good in the league this season and we expect them to take maximum points from this game, with over 2.5 goals scored in total.
