Tottenham Hotspur are at Turf Moor this afternoon in what is has suddenly become a must-win game for both sides. Spurs are desperately trying to find a scrap of identity under Antonio Conte who looked absolutely shell-shocked after Tottenham’s loss in the Europa Conference League, midweek.
14 points dropped from winning positions will be on Sean Dyche’s mind, as the Claret’s 18th place in the Premier League will only be improved by a drastic upswing in form.
We are without Cuti Romero, Giovani Lo Celso and Dane Scarlett. Burnley will be minus James Tarkowski and Ashley Westwood who are both suspended.
Ashley Barnes has a thigh injury, and there will be late fitness tests for Jay Rodriguez, Matej Vydra and Dale Stephens. The good news for the hosts is that Maxwell Cornet is has scored five goals in his six Premier League starts, and Burnley has never been on the losing side when he has found the net.
Spurs are narrow favourites and kick-off is 2pm We’ll have the starting XI at 1pm.
Game off…perhaps not a bad thing!
I’m going for a boring 1-1…
Lo Celso out again…play maker is a must next month
