Tottenham are back in Premier League action this weekend and the London club will be desperate to put the disappointment of Thursday’s loss to NS Mura behind them.

Tottenham were embarrassed on Thursday, but they have a very winnable Premier League game coming up this weekend as they head to Turf Moor to face Burnley.

However, as we all know, Burnley’s defensive style can make them a tough side to break down, and in order to get a win here, Antonio Conte needs to get his team selection spot on.

With that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting Spurs’ starting XI for this match.

We think that Conte will opt to make seven changes for this match.

Hugo Lloris returns in goal, while Sergio Reguilon, Emerson Royal, Eric Dier and Ben Davies are back in the defence.

For the first time in the Conte era, Tanguy Ndombele starts in the midfield for a league game. This is a game where Spurs should find it rather easy to control the possession, so Ndombele’s talents should be useful here.

Oliver Skipp starts alongside the Frenchman, while the front three of Lucas Moura, Heung-Min Son and Harry Kane should be able to cause Burnley all sorts of problems.
