Burnley vs Tottenham
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: Turf Moor
Kick-off: 12:30pm GMT
No doubt still on a high from their thumping Champions League last-16 first-leg win over Borussia Dortmund and well rested over FA Cup fifth-round weekend, title-chasers Tottenham return to Premier League action this lunchtime.
Mauricio Pochettino's side currently sit five points off the pace in third position and will have the chance to put some early pressure on Manchester City - who are in EFL Cup final action against Chelsea - and Liverpool, who do not travel to Manchester United until Sunday.
Spurs are seeking a fifth consecutive victory but face a Burneley side in the midst of a seven-match unbeaten run that has seen them rise to 15th place, three points above the dreaded relegation zone.

Burnley vs Tottenham team news and predicted line-ups
Burnley should be boosted by the respective returns of wingers Johann Berg Gudmundsson (thigh) and Robbie Brady (groin), but Steven Defour (calf) and Aaron Lennon (knee) are still not ready to play.
Burnley predicted XI: Heaton, Bardsley, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor, Hendrick, Westwood, Cork, McNeil, Barnes, Wood
Kane will be chomping at the bit to be involved again this weekend, yet Pochettino has been adamant that it will be his decision alone when the striker returns to action.
A place on the bench seems the most likely outcome, particularly with a trio of fixtures against Chelsea, Arsenal and Dortmund looming large on the horizon.
Dele Alli remains sidelined with a hamstring injury, while Danny Rose could miss out through illness.
Ben Davies should be fit to feature following five matches in the treatment room with a groin issue.
Tottenham predicted XI: Lloris, Trippier, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Davies, Winks, Sissoko, Eriksen, Lamela, Son, Llorente
