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 0-0 Burnley

22 mins: Jack Cork chops down Kane as he looks to drive into the final third. Gets away with avoiding a booking.

Sessegnon tries to swing a ball into the box but Roberts blocks well and Burnley can clear up to the halfway line where Spurs pick it up yet again.

It’s attack vs defence and so far the defence are doing their job.

Tottenham 0-0 Burnley

20 mins: Another intricate corner from Son ends up in the arms of Pope.

Burnley finally find a way out of their own half and earn themselves a throw-in. Then they give it straight back to Tottenham. Surely this pressure is going to tell eventually?

Equally, if the home side don’t make this count then they could find it frustrating as the game goes on.

Tottenham 0-0 Burnley

18 mins: How has that not gone in?!

Superb play from Sessegnon as he produces a wonderful cross for Kane at the back post but somehow his header is hooked away on the goal line by a Burnley defender.

Another chance for Spurs! Emerson tries his luck from 30 yards out and Pope has to tip it away for a corner!

Tottenham 0-0 Burnley

16 mins: It’s Lucas again who provides the energy for Spurs as he drives at the Burnley defence before laying it off at the edge of the area. It finds its way to Davies but his shot is straight at Pope.

Burnley give it straight back to Spurs again. It’s one-way traffic at the moment.

Tottenham 0-0 Burnley

14 mins: Another good chance for Spurs. Lucas takes on his marker and stands up a cross for Kane but Pope is equal to his header. Tottenham’s front three giving Burnley all sorts of problems early on here.

Kane goes down a few yards outside the penalty area after a challenge from Brownhill but Kevin Friend tells him to get back to his feet.

Spurs have the ball back again within seconds.

Tottenham 0-0 Burnley

12 mins: Bentancur slides a lovely pass into Lucas. He turns swiftly and fires a deflected shot behind for a corner to Tottenham. They’re tightening the screw already.

Son plays a one-two from the corner and then goes for goal but Pope scrambles across to palm it away at his near post.

Another one-two corner this time comes to nothing as Son fails to pick out a Spurs shirt in the penalty area.

Tottenham 0-0 Burnley

10 mins: Burnley will need to make the ball stick in the final third if they are to relieve the pressure at times today. At the moment it is all Spurs.

Sessegnon heads back across goal for Kane and he is pushed to the ground but the flag was up. The England captain had just strayed a little beyond the Burnley back line.

Emerson finds some space on the right and drives a low effort towards the far corner but Collins blocks once more. Sensational defensive performance from the Burnley defender already.

Tottenham 0-0 Burnley

8 mins: Lucas sends a lofted ball into the middle for Sessegnon but Collins is there to power a header clear. They Burnley centre-back is everywhere in the early stages here.

The first chant of ‘When the Spurs go marching in’ rings out as the quiet atmosphere begins to create a bit of noise.

Tottenham 0-0 Burnley

6 mins: This is going to be a long afternoon for the Burnley defenders if they insist on sitting on the edge of their own box throughout.

Emerson plays a nice ball into Kane inside the penalty area and hs cut back is cleared away by Collins. Some early inroads from Spurs but Burnley not any clear-cut chances for the hosts.
