Match preview

Antonio Conte tried to be guarded yet ended up being withering in his assessment of the Spurs' team he inherited, and that doesn't augur well for this trip to Turf Moor.

Conte basically said his players aren't good enough following the 2-1 loss at little known Slovenian side Mura in the Europa Conference League on Thursday, and his frustration was obvious.

The Italian will bring back the A-team, many of whom were rested during the week but they don't come with any guarantees, especially on their travels where they have failed to win eight of their last ten in all competitions.

Sean Dyche's Clarets are in the bottom three but they have lost only three of their last ten and if they can take points off Leicester and Chelsea then they should have little to fear from Conte's lot.

Ten points separates these two yet they've lost the same number of matches. This could be tight.

Key stat

The first half has produced more goals than the second in Burnley's league games this season (18-16).
