Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham Hotspur will face Burnley in the Premier League this weekend.

Michael Owen has predicted on Betvictor.com that Tottenham Hotspur will win against Burnley this weekend.

Tottenham will face Burnley away from home at Turf Moor in the Premier League on Saturday evening.

Former Liverpool and Manchester United striker Owen has backed Spurs to pick up all three points from the encounter.

Owen wrote on Betvictor.com: “Few would have thought at the start of the season that Burnley would be ahead of Spurs in the table going in to the busy Festive period.

“The Clarets have been a revelation so far this term and have kept six clean sheets in their last eight home PL games, but I think Spurs can end a run of five games on their PL travels without a win.

“Burnley are likely to be without defender James Tarkowski, who has been charged retrospectively with violent conduct following a clash with Brighton’s Glenn Murray at the weekend, and that will be a big blow to the Clarets.”

A footnote added: “Tip: Spurs to win to nil at 29/20.”

Burnley are in good form at the moment and are going great guns in the Premier League.

The Clarets are safe from relegation, and if Sean Dyche’s side continue their current run of form, then they could well end up in the European places.

Tottenham’s chances of winning the Premier League title are over, and they are now facing the prospect of not finish in the top four.

The North London club, though, do have a better team than Burnley do, and they should at least pick up a point at Turf Moor.

Spurs should fancy their chances of winning at Burnley, and if they score a couple of early goals, then it is hard to see the Clarets launch a comeback.
