Spurs have raised their performance levels since Mourinho walked into the club, winning every single game prior to the narrow margin defeat suffered at the hands of the Red Devils last time out. It was a close game and could have gone either way.

The Lilywhites will be determined to take all the three points on offer in this fixture against a Burnley team that have recorded a single win on the road this entire campaign. Apparently, life has been so difficult for the Clarets on their travels.

With just two points separating these two sides on the log, they will be motivated to go all out for maximum points in order to climb further up the ladder.

Tottenham v Burnley Team News

Tottenham admitted defeat on the last match-day at the dreaded Old Trafford – home of Manchester United. As Mourinho returned to a stadium he once called home, the Portuguese was unable to seal victory against his former employers.

Jose Mourinho was clearly distraught that he could not get one over a club he still harbours grudges against. The Manchester United supporters couldn’t care less about how the former Chelsea manager felt about the game, as they voiced out deafening chants at the end of the game.

As soon as Marcus Rashford gave his side the lead inside 6 minutes, the pressure began mounting on Spurs to find an equalizer. All efforts proved futile, however, until Dele Alli’s masterclass in the United box opened up some space for him to shoot. As you would expect, the England international made no mistake with his finish, bringing the game level on the stroke of half-time.

Just when Spurs fans were beginning to celebrate, their joy was short-lived by a vibrant Marcus Rashford, dancing through the opposition defense before being hacked down by Sissoko. The referee’s decision was a penalty and Rashford stepped forward to clinch the three points for his side.

Meanwhile, Burnley fell victim to a rampant Manchester City side on the last match-day with Guardiola’s side hammering them 4-1 to clinch the three points. The Clarets had the added benefit of playing in front of the home crowd but were unable to take advantage. They were made to bow down to the sheer talent within City’s ranks.

The home side are on a five game unbeaten run on home turf and have admitted defeat just once in their last eight appearances here. Goal-wise, they have registered two or more in six of their previous eight encounters here.

The visitors, on the other hand, have lost five of their last seven games and conceded twice or more in each of these games. They have a rotten record on their travels, failing to secure victory in seven of their last eight away fixtures and also in 11 of their previous 14.

Injured or Suspended Players:

Tottenham: Hugo Lloris, Michel Vorm, Erik Lamela, Ben Davies.

Burnley: Johann Gudmundsson, Charlie Taylor, Ashley Westwood.

Tottenham vs Burnley Predictions

The loss to Manchester United last time out should be enough to spur the Lilywhites to a win here. Burnley might end up on the receiving end of a backlash following that loss but will dig really deep to attempt salvaging something meaningful from this fixture.

Home advantage is an added benefit for Tottenham Hotspur and they are expected to come away from this fixture unscathed, grabbing a couple of goals before the end of ninety minutes.
