Match Prediction
Tottenham are the clear favorites for this match, but they will need to be wary of a Burnley side that is fighting for survival. Spurs have a strong squad on paper, but they have been in poor form recently. Burnley, on the other hand, have shown signs of improvement under new manager Vincent Kompany.
This match is likely to be a close affair, but Tottenham should have enough quality to edge out a narrow victory.
Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 Burnley
