Tottenham vs Burnley prediction: How will Premier League fixture play out?
Burnley FC strive to take a step towards Premier League surival as they travel to take on Tottenham Hotspur.
Mike Jackson has done a sterling job in caretaker charge after the departure of Sean Dyche, and a win against top-four chasing Spurs would be a significant boost to the club’s hopes of staying up.
With three fixtures in the final seven days of the season, Burnley have a game in hand on Leeds, who sit level on points with Jackson’s side.
Their hosts, meanwhile, also need a win to climb above Arsenal, who do not play until Monday night and remain in pole position for a Champions League place despite derby defeat on Thursday.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the fixture:
