Here is how we predict Tottenham Hotspur will line up against Burnley this weekend:

Tottenham Hotspur welcome Burnley to Wembley on Sunday for their latest Premier League clash.

Spurs have had a mixed record to date, beating Newcastle United before suffering a late defeat to Chelsea last time out.

In contrast Burnley overcame the reigning champions 3-2 on the opening weekend before losing to high-flying West Bromwich Albion a week later.

Tottenham are without Danny Rose, Erik Lamela and Georges-Kevin N’Koudou while Kieran Trippier is a minor doubt with a knock; although the later is rated at 75 per cent to be fit if called upon.

Burnley cannot call on Dean Marney due to a knee injury while Jonathan Walters is a doubt with an ankle problem.

Tottenham will want to get their first win of the season on their new temporary ground as soon as possible and, while they lost 2-1 to Chelsea last time out, there was enough attacking intent to suggest they will win the vast majority of their ‘home’ matches between now and May.

Burnley have new signing Chris Wood to call on and the New Zealand international will be looking to impress after his big-money move from Leeds United.

With all that in mind here is how we expect Tottenham to line up on Sunday afternoon:
