Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they welcome Burnley to North London.

Jose Mourinho’s men have slipped to ninth following defeats against Manchester City and West Ham.

Meanwhile, the Clarets are six points above the bottom three following draws against relegation rivals Fulham and West Bromwich Albion.

Team news

Serge Aurier could return for Spurs but Giovani Lo Celso remains sidelined by a hamstring injury.

Burnley pair Chris Wood and Robbie Brady are back in contention, but Ashley Barnes misses out with a thigh problem.

Erik Pieters and Dale Stephens could also return to the squad.

Predicted line-ups

Tottenham Hotspur: Lloris, Tanganga, Alderweireld, Dier, Davies; Ndombele, Hojbjerg; Bale, Lamela, Son; Kane.

Burnley: Pope, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor; Brownhill, Westwood, Cork, McNeil; Vydra, Rodriguez.

Match stats

  • Tottenham have lost five of their last six league games.
  • Burnley have kept six clean sheets on the road this season – a total bettered only by Aston Villa.
  • The Clarets haven’t won at Spurs since their 4-1 victory in the League Cup back in 1983.

Previous meeting

Spurs recorded a narrow 1-0 win when the sides met at Turf Moor earlier in the season.

Heung-Min Son got the only goal with a clinical finish from Harry Kane’s flick-on inside the final 15 minutes.

Burnley went close when Kane made a vital clearance on the line to keep out James Tarkowski’s towering header.
