Manchester City head to the London Stadium this afternoon knowing victory over West Ham United will put them on the precipice of the Premier League title.

Pep Guardiola’s side are three points clear of Liverpool with just two games remaining after Kevin De Bruyne scored four goals against Wolves on Wednesday. Their mission is simple: get four points from their final two league games and they will be crowned champions.

West Ham are still reeling from their heartbreaking defeat in the Europa League semi-finals but the Hammers did recover with a thumping win over Norwich last weekend - a first victory in five Premier League matches.

David Moyes’s side still have plenty to play as they look to get back into Europe next term, with just three points separating them from sixth-placed Manchester United, who travel to Crystal Palace on the final day of the season.

Follow all the action from a crucial clash at the London Stadium below after the conclusion of Tottenham vs Burnley:

Tottenham 1-0 Burnley

80 mins: SUBS! Barnes and Lowton are replaced by Weghorst and Lennon as Mike Jackson makes a double change. Lennon receives applause from the home fans given his decade with Spurs.

A change for Tottenham as well as Kulusevski comes on for Lucas.

Antonio Conte is whipping up the crowd here, calling for more! He is getting them going for the final 10 minutes!

Tottenham 1-0 Burnley

78 mins: Kane picks up the ball on the shoulder of Collins and turns brightly. The pass to Lucas is on over the top but he waits too long to play it and the Brazilian drifts offside.

Emerson Royal is down now. Not sure he has any serious issue, just a bit of gamesmanship.

Tottenham 1-0 Burnley

76 mins: Davies goes down on the edge of the area after trying to slide a pass into Son but referee Kevin Friend is unmoved. It was a long shot, let’s be honest.

Kulusevski and Lennon still waiting to come on for their respective sides.

Tottenham 1-0 Burnley

74 mins: A poor pass from Collins goes straight out of play and Spurs can come forward once more.

Lucas sends a cross into the middle but it’s over everyone. Bentancur picks it up and sends another ball into the box but Pope gathers.

Burnley are now back on the front foot. I simply could not tell you how this game ends. Both sides look pretty threatening.

Tottenham 1-0 Burnley

72 mins: Hojbjerg slides a pass in for Lucas and he finds Kane who hangs one up to Sessegnon at the back post but he can’t nod it back down for Son.

Burnley then break through Cornet but Spurs get bodies back to snuff out the danger.

Dejan Kulusevski is preparing to come on for Tottenham. You imagine he will be replacing Lucas Moura - who has had a bright game.

Tottenham 1-0 Burnley

70 mins: Aaron Lennon is warming up now for Burnley. A former Spurs player who spent 10 years at the club between 2005 and 2015. Could he be the spark the visitors need to salvage something from this game?

Davinson Sanchez fires a diagonal ball towards Lucas and the Brazilian gets to it but can’t keep the cross in play.

Delicately poised as we head into the final 20 minutes of this one. Could have huge consequences at both ends of the table.

Tottenham 1-0 Burnley

68 mins: Tottenham are back on the front foot now. Son whips a dangerous ball into the six-yard box and Collins shanks it over the top of his own crossbar. That could have gone anywhere.

Burnley are being pushed back a bit more after a bright start to the second half.

Tottenham 1-0 Burnley

66 mins: CLOSE! A great save from Pope denies Spurs a second.

Kane slides the ball to Sessegnon on the left-hand side of the penalty area. He pulls it across for Son who curls one towards the bottom corner but the outstretched arm of Pope denies him.

Fine reflexes.

Dylan Terry15 May 2022 13:30

Tottenham 1-0 Burnley

64 mins: The Spurs supporters are really trying to get behind their team now. They know this could be THE crucial 25 minutes in their season.

Lucas tries to send a cross into the middle but Taylor keeps up with him and blocks it away for a Tottenham corner.

Son sends the set-piece into the penalty area, Bentancur glances it on and Pope gathers comfortably.
