Tottenham Hotspur VS Burnley
Sunday (18/12/2016)
17:00 (WAT)

Tottenham have dispatched the Premier League's smaller teams with minimal fuss this season.

And they will be expected to see off Burnley in emphatic fashion when Sean Dyche's side travel to White Hart Lane this weekend.

Spurs have scored 11 goals in their last three matches on home turf and require another victory to ensure they do not lose further ground on their top-four rivals.

Burnley, meanwhile, need to get some more points on the board to avoid being sucked right back into a relegation scrap.


TEAM NEWS
Pochettino must decide whether to stick with the 3-4-2-1 formation which served his side so well against Hull City.

A three-man defence consisting of Eric Dier, Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen was rarely troubled against the Tigers and also helped to produce some encouraging attacking play.

But a lot will hinge on whether Mousa Dembele recovers from a foot injury as the Belgian will expect to be accommodated if he is passed fit.

Moussa Sissoko will be hopeful he has done enough to secure a starting berth after impressing in midweek while Dele Alli could be in line for a rest ahead of a busy run of fixtures.

Burnley's away record makes for grim reading if you are of a Claret persuasion.

Dyche's side have collected just one point on the road this term and, after a disappointing defeat at West Ham, will be more than happy if they can double their return when they face Spurs.

Sam Vokes is expected to lead the visitors' line while the potential inclusion of Andre Gray would signal an intent to not simply shut up shop. However, it could also play into the hands of Tottenham's new system.

POSSIBLE STARTING LINE UPS
Tottenham (3-4-2-1): Lloris; Dier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen; Walker, Wanyama, Alli, Rose; Eriksen, Sissoko; Kane.

Burnley (4-4-1-1): Heaton; Lowton, Keane, Mee, Ward; Arfield, Marney, Defour, Boyd; Hendrick; Vokes.
