Nevertheless, they continue to play with their playful approach, with which they annoyed the top team Aston Villa last weekend.

Tottenham’s opponents are the Clarets from the north of England. The promoted team is coached by former Manchester City and Hamburger SV player Vincent Kompany, who led the traditional team back to the Premier League after a year in the second division. Once there, they had to accept a few defeats.

The relatively major upheaval under new coach Ange Postecoglou appears to be beginning to bear fruit. However, their top scorer is still Heung-min Son, who is unavailable today for the first time after leaving for the Asian Cup. Instead of the South Korean, the Swede Dejan Kulusevski storms. In addition, compared to last weekend, Oliver Skipp is playing instead of the injured Pape Sarr.
