Burnley vs Tottenham team news: Confirmed line-ups as Solanke makes first Premier League start of season
Line-ups for Burnley vs Tottenham have been announced...
Thomas Frank will be hoping his Tottenham side build on a positive result against Borussia Dortmund when they return to Premier League action away at Burnley.
Spurs were impressive 2-0 winners in the Champions League in midweek but pressure still remains on Frank after a 2-1 loss to West Ham in their last league game which has left them languishing in 14th place. A defeat at Turf Moor would undoubtedly undo any positivity that lingers from the Dortmund win and place the Danish manager’s position at serious risk.
Burnley have look destined for relegation for some time after going 13 games without a win in the Premier League, though handy draws against Manchester United and Liverpool, plus a 5-1 FA Cup win over Millwall, has provided a glimmer of optimism for Scott Parker’s side.
Check out all the confirmed team news ahead of the 3pm clash.
