Tottenham confirmed team vs Burnley: Eric Dier starts, Sergio Reguilon and Joe Rodon substitutes

Jose Mourinho, as expected, has switched things about in terms of his Tottenham team for this evening's Premier League clash against Burnley.

Making a total of eight alterations on Thursday evening as they recorded a comfortable 3-0 win over LASK in the Europa League, the head coach has made a number of changes for the game at Turf Moor.

Harry Kane, who was an unused substitute for the European game, unsurprisingly comes back in as does Son Heung-min, with Tanguy Ndombele also in the team on his return to the lowest point of his Tottenham career.

Eric Dier does return after injury to join Toby Alderweireld, Ben Davies and Matt Doherty at the back.

Mourinho promises more from Vinicius

The Lilywhites go into tonight's game in 11th but three points in Lancashire will see them jump into fifth and two points off league leaders Everton.

Spurs have struggled on their last couple of trips to Turf Moor and Mourinho knows his team are going to be in for a very tough game despite the Clarets recording one point from their opening four games so far.

Speaking ahead of the game, he said: "You will feel how strong they are by March or April when lots of teams will be fighting for relegation, and they will be already safe.

"They will be already eight, nine or 10 [points clear], comfortable in the table. This is Burnley, so the fact they only have one point in this moment - they have played one match less and the fact they have one point doesn't tell me much.

"Burnley is Burnley. The way they play, the players they have, their style of play, the manager, nothing's changed there. It's always difficult and it's going to be difficult."

Here is the Tottenham team Mourinho has selected at Turf Moor.

Spurs XI vs Burnley: Lloris, Doherty, Alderweireld, Dier, Davies; Hojbjerg, Sissoko, Ndombele; Lucas, Son, Kane.

Subs: Hart, Rodon, Reguilon, Lo Celso, Bale, Lamela, Vinicus.
