Tottenham Hotspur v Burnley: match preview

Tottenham Hotspur v Burnley
Tottenham Hotspur v Burnley: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

Burnley enjoyed themselves on their trip to London on the opening weekend when they stunned nine-man Chelsea and they intend to further Tottenham’s Wembley woes. Mauricio Pochettino has urged his players to look at the overall performance in the 2-1 defeat to Chelsea rather than the scoreline. He maintains it was good, featuring enough creativity and merely lacking cutting edge. Victory feels essential this time. David Hytner
