Tottenham Hotspur return to Premier League action tonight as they travel up to Lancashire to take on relegation-threatened Burnley.
Antonio Conte picked up a morale-boosting win on Saturday evening, beating Manchester City 3-2 at the Etihad Stadium.
After three successive Premier League defeats to Chelsea, Southampton and Wolverhampton Wanderers, Tottenham needed a statement win.
They did exactly that with a stunning win over City, with Harry Kane scoring twice in a dramatic victory.
Tottenham head up north once again tonight but will be a facing a very different challenge against Burnley.
Sean Dyche’s men are trying to stay in the Premier League and will likely play a pretty direct style against Tottenham.
Conte has decisions to make in his starting lineup tonight, so here’s our predicted Tottenham XI…
Hugo Lloris has been in concerning form of late but should still keep his place in the Tottenham side with Pierluigi Gollini offering little threat.
Conte haș been using a back three at Tottenham and you can expect the same tonight.
Ben Davies has mostly fared well as a left-sided centre back, and you would assume that Eric Dier and Cristian Romero will join him at the back.
Emerson Royal should be the right wing back, whilst Sergio Reguilon’s continued absence means Ryan Sessegnon may get another chance at left wing back.
Oliver Skipp remains out, so we should see Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg keep his place in midfield alongside Rodrigo Bentancur.
Harry Winks offers another option, but it’s hard to see him forcing his way in for this game and we’re backing Conte to decide to stick with Hojbjerg.
The attacking three should pick themselves, with Son Heung-min, Harry Kane and Dejan Kulusevski all starting.
That would be an unchanged Tottenham side from the City win, and you can hardly blame Conte for thinking that way.
Predicted Tottenham Hotspur lineup: Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Emerson, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Sessegnon; Kulusevski, Son, Kane.
