Tottenham Hotspur travel to Turf Moor this weekend for their latest Premier League clash.

Jack Cork has suggested that he is sure that Burnley will be able to get something from their upcoming Premier League clash with Tottenham this weekend, in comments reported by Lancashire Telegraph.

Spurs go into the game off the back of a lengthy break having not played last weekend. But Mauricio Pochettino’s men did boast a remarkable run of form before that time off, winning their previous four games in all competitions.

That run culminated in Tottenham’s stunning second-half performance against Borussia Dortmund which led to a 3-0 win at Wembley ahead of the second-leg at the start of next month.

Burnley however, are also going into the contest off a decent run, having not lost in the league since Boxing Day. They have won five and drawn three of their last nine in all competitions.

And Cork suggested that Sean Dyche’s side are full of confidence heading into the game with Tottenham.

“It’s another top six side, but we’ve been in great form, we’re seven unbeaten now so we shouldn’t be scared of anyone, especially at home,” he said, as reported by the Lancashine Telegraph.

“We’ll go in to it with a good attitude and I’m sure we’ll be able to get something.”

Spurs should be comfortable favourites for the game. They have not lost against the Clarets since 2010 – a game in which Cork, along with Gareth Bale and Luka Modric, scored – and their record away from home this term is superb.

Burnley will probably be hoping that some complacency creeps into Tottenham’s minds. After this weekend, Spurs face Chelsea, Arsenal and Dortmund in their following three games, so it is a crucial period in their season.
