Tottenham take on Burnley in the Premier League this afternoon…

Spurs head into the game after a two-week break, and will be looking to rack up a fifth straight Premier League win.

Hugo Lloris starts in goal, behind a back five of Serge Aurier, Toby Alderweireld, Juan Foyth, Jan Vertonghen and Danny Rose.

Harry Winks, Moussa Sissoko and Christian Eriksen make up the midfield, with Harry Kane returning from injury to partner Son Heung-min in attack.

That means Fernando Llorente drops to the bench, alongside Paulo Gazzaniga, Ben Davies, Kyle Walker-Peters, Erik Lamela, Lucas Moura and Victor Wanyama.

Meanwhile, Burnley are unbeaten in seven and will pose a stern test today having hit form under Sean Dyche.

Tom Heaton starts in goal, and will be protected by a back four of Phil Bardsley, James Tarkowski, Ben Mee and Charlie Taylor.

Jack Cork partners Ashley Westwood in central midfield, with Jeff Hendrink and youngster Dwight McNeil on the flanks.

That leaves Chris Wood and Ashley Barnes as the physical front two, and they will surely cause Spurs problems today.

Ex-Spurs man Peter Crouch is on the bench, alongside Joe Hart, Ben Gibson, Matthew Lowton, Robbie Brady, Johann Berg Gudmundsson and Matej Vydra.
