Just when you thought Tottenham Hotspur couldn’t fail to surprise, we put in a dogged and clinical display against Manchester City last weekend to take a very unexpected three points.
Despite Pep Guardiola’s side having far more of the ball and creating numerous efforts at goal, England striker Harry Kane was back to his finishing best as he helped himself to a brace, and January signing Dejan Kulusevski opened his club account four minutes in to hand us the early advantage.
Sean Dyche’s Burnley side on Wednesday evening will be another tough game though, and it’ll certainly play out differently from the last one as you’d expect manager Antonio Conte’s side to dominate here – with the only real questions being, can we keep it tight at the back and then take the inevitable chances that will come our way across the 90 minutes.
Unless I’ve missed someone, the only players likely to be out for this one will be Oliver Skipp, Japhet Tanganga and Sergio Reguilon but we’ll have to wait for the official update with lingering Covid concerns.
