Burnley vs Tottenham Hotspur

As for Tottenham, they will be frustrated with their early exit from the EFL Cup after losing to Fulham on penalties in the second round. However, new manager Ange Postecoglou will be happy with their start to the Premier League season, with his side collecting seven points from their three matches. The Lilywhites opened their campaign with a 2-2 draw against Brentford before securing back-to-back wins over Manchester United and Bournemouth. Keeping clean sheets in their last two fixtures, Spurs will be looking for a third straight shutout for the first time since May 2022. Tottenham are currently in third place and could end the day at the top of the table if they win and other results go their way.

Burnley vs Tottenham Hotspur

Championship winners Burnley host their third successive Premier League match looking to collect their first points of the season. Vincent Kompany’s men were comfortably beaten in their opening fixture, losing 3-0 to reigning champions Manchester City before taking a 16-day break from the division. They were supposed to face Luton Town in their second game, but it was postponed as Kenilworth Road was not ready. Upon their return, the Clarets were brushed aside by European hopefuls Aston Villa, with a brace from Matty Cash and a goal from Moussa Diaby helping Unai Emery’s side to a 3-1 victory. Despite being in the relegation zone, Burnley will take encouragement from their narrow win over Nottingham Forest in the EFL Cup during the week, with Salford City awaiting them in the third round.
