BURNLEY will be looking to extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League when they host Tottenham on Sunday afternoon (KO 2pm).
Sean Dyche’s men are unbeaten in their last four league matches following Saturday’s thrilling 3-3 draw against Crystal Palace.
Ben Mee, Chris Wood and Maxwel Cornet were all on target for the Clarets, who remain in the drop zone.
Team news
Ashley Barnes will be out for “weeks rather than months” after missing last weekend’s game due to a thigh injury.
Matej Vydra and Jay Rodriguez both have minor problems but should be available for Sunday’s fixture.
Meanwhile, Tottenham defender is set for a spell on the sidelines with a hamstring injury.
Opposition lowdown
Former Chelsea boss Antoni Conte took charge at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium earlier this month.
Spurs sit seventh in the Premier League table after picking up 19 points from their opening 12 matches.
Conte’s men enter the game on the back of a 2-1 defeat against Slovenian side NS Mura in the Europa Conference League.
Head-to-head
- The Clarets have faced Tottenham 120 times in their history, with a record of 41 wins, 28 draws and 51 defeats
- Their last win in the fixture came in February 2019 when Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood scored in a 2-1 victory at Turf Moor
Last meeting
Spurs edged a tight affair when the sides met at Turf Moor in the Carabao Cup round of 16 earlier this season.
Lucas Moura scored the decisive goal, beating Nick Pope with a clinical header from Emerson Royal’s cross.
The Burnley goalkeeper also made fine stop to deny Giovani Lo Celso from a one-on-one in the second half.
How to follow the action
While Sunday’s game isn’t being shown on TV for UK viewers, live commentary from Turf Moor is available on Clarets+.
