Premier League
3pm Saturday

Just four of Tottenham's 17 Premier League wins this season have come on the road and they are unlikely to get an easy ride at Turf Moor where Burnley have suffered only three league defeats.

Spurs are without star striker Harry Kane but can rely on their defence which, alongside Chelsea's, is the joint-best in the division.

Burnley may struggle to score but can keep things tight and ensure a low-scoring outcome.
