Team news

Tottenham
Oliver Skipp, Japhet Tanganga and Sergio Reguilon are set to miss out again.

Match preview

Tottenham's 3-2 victory at Manchester City on Saturday was the game of the weekend in the Premier League but relegation-threatened Burnley also upset the odds in a 3-0 win away to Brighton.

That was a stunning result for a side who had scored just three goals in their previous nine league matches and Sean Dyche's Clarets are worth backing to build on that triumph back at Turf Moor.

Despite Burnley's lowly league position, they have been consistently competitive at home. Free-scoring Liverpool had to work hard for a 1-0 win in Lancashire on February 13 and before that defeat the Clarets were unbeaten in six games at Turf Moor, including a 1-1 draw with Manchester United.

Spurs will have taken great heart from their weekend heroics but this is a totally different test and Antonio Conte's side, who had suffered three straight defeats before the shock win at City, should be opposed at odds-on.

Key stat

Burnley have lost only one of their last seven home league matches.
