Tottenham Hotspur come into the match having defeated Wolfsberger AC 4-0 at home in the Europa League on Wednesday night. Having won the first leg 4-1 away from home, it was a comfortable night for Spurs and they progressed to the last 16 of the competition.
However, the victories over Wolfsberger AC are their only two from their last 5 matches in all competitions.
In the Premier League, Spurs have lost 5 of their 6 most recent games. There have been defeats at home against Liverpool and Chelsea plus losses on the road at Brighton and Hove Albion, Manchester City, and West Ham United.
Home form shows Spurs have been inconsistent in recent games and they have won 2, lost 3, and drawn one of their last 6 home Premier League fixtures. In terms of scoring goals, Spurs have been struggling to score more than 2 goals in home Premier League matches.
Only once in their last 9 Premier League games at home, have they managed to score more than 2 goals in a single game.
Burnley travel to London having been held to a 0-0 draw at home by West Bromwich Albion last weekend. The Clarets will believe they should have taken maximum points from the game as their opponents had a man sent off after 30 minutes. In fact, it was West Bromwich Albion who went on to create the better chances to score.
That result means Burnley are undefeated in their last 3 games in all competitions and their 4 most recent Premier League fixtures. In terms of the Premier League, there has been one victory which came away from home at Crystal Palace and 3 draws, all of which were at home against Brighton and Hove Albion, Fulham, and West Bromwich Albion.
Trends show Burnley have been struggling to score goals away from home in the Premier League. They have failed to find the back of the net in 4 of their last 6 league games on the road.
Team news and Tottenham Hotspur are still without the injured duo of Serge Aurier and Giovani Lo Celso. Harry Kane and Son Heung-min should both return to the starting XI having been rested in mid-week.
Burnley have doubts over the fitness of Ashley Barnes, Dale Stephens, Erik Pieters, and Chris Wood. Johann Berg Gudmundsson and Robert Brady are injured.
Spurs need to put a run of good results together if they are to challenge for the top four this season. This match provides the perfect opportunity for them to pick up 3 points and we expect them to win the game and keep a clean sheet in the process.
