Burnley and Tottenham Hotspur will lock horns with each other in the Premier League this coming weekend. The match between the Clarets and Spurs will be held at Turf Moor and is scheduled to kick off at 3pm UK time on Saturday.

Burnley

Burnley did exceptionally well in the Championship last season and won the title with ease. Vincent Kompany’s side played the best football in the division and scored goals for fun. Much was expected of Burnley when they won promotion from the Championship at the end of last season, but things have not been going well for the Clarets in the Premier League so far.

Kompany’s side are third from bottom in the Premier League table at the moment with no point from two matches. Burnley kicked off their Premier League campaign with a 3-0 loss at the hands of defending champions Manchester City at Turf Moor. It followed a 3-1 loss at the hands of Aston Villa in front of their own fans.

Burnley will take on Nottingham Forest away from home at the City Ground in the Second Round North of the EFL Cup on Wednesday evening. And then they will face Tottenham Hotspur at home in the Premier League. The Clarets are among the clubs who are in danger of getting relegated to the Championship at the end of the season, and they will have to start picking up points and winning matches now.

Team News:

Burnley manager Vincent Kompany is likely to line his team up in a 4-4-2 formation. Amdouni and Foster will be the two forwards. Cullen and Berge will start in central midfield. Manuel and Koleosho will be the two wingers. Trafford will be in goal. Roberts, Al Dakhil, O’Shea and Delcroix will be the four defenders.

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur struggled badly last season and did not end up in the top four of the Premier League table. It was a really poor campaign for Spurs, who then lost star striker Harry Kane to Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window.

However, things are going well for Spurs under head coach Ange Postecoglou at the moment. Tottenham are playing good football and are winning matches. Spurs are third in the Premier League table at the moment with seven points from three matches, two points behind leaders and defending champions Manchester City.

Tottenham kicked off their Premier League campaign with a 2-2 draw with Brentford away from home in the London derby. It followed a 2-0 win against Manchester United at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the league and followed a 2-0 victory over Bournemouth away from home in the Premier League. Spurs will face Fulham at Craven Cottage in EFL Cup Second Round South on Tuesday evening before facing Burnley this coming weekend.

Team News:

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou is likely to line up his team in a 4-2-3-1 formation against Burnley. Richarlison has been struggling, but the Brazil international forward is still likely to lead the line for the North London club. Kulusevski, Maddison and Son will be the three attacking midfielders behind him. Sarr and Bissouma will be the two defensive midfielders.

Key Factors to Consider

• Burnley have scored 1 goal in 2 Premier League matches.
• Burnley have conceded 6 goals in 2 Premier League matches.
• Tottenham Hotspur have conceded 2 goals in 3 Premier League games.
• Tottenham Hotspur have scored 6 goals in 3 Premier League games.
• James Maddison has provided 2 goals in 3 Premier League matches for Tottenham Hotspur.

Conclusion

Burnley are under pressure already, and the team will have to get something. Tottenham Hotspur are doing extremely well now, and it is hard to see the North London club drop all three points at Turf Moor. It is very likely that Tottenham will eke out a narrow victory over Burnley.
