Premier League: Burnley vs Tottenham preview
Tottenham will be looking to extend their four-game winning streak in all competitions when they travel to face Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday. The Spurs won the reverse fixture 2-1 in December, with goals from Dele Alli and Danny Rose. However, Tottenham have not won at Turf Moor since 2004, when they secured a 3-0 League Cup victory. Burnley are going through a rather difficult period, they have not won a match since the end of January. However, they never lost a match by more than one goal since then and they also managed to hold leaders Chelsea to a 1-1 draw at Turf Moor. Dean Marney and Johann Berg Gudmundsson are injured, while Kevin Long and Scott Arfield are fitness doubts for the home side. Tottenham have won their last four matches in all competitions and have not tasted defeat in their last six games. They defeated Southampton 2-1 at White Hart Lane before the international break and that result secured their second position, ten points behind leaders Chelsea. Danny Rose and Harry Kane are injured, while Erik Lamela will be out for the rest of the season after undergoing surgery. Probable line-ups: Burnley: Heaton - Lowton, Keane, Mee, Ward - Boyd, Hendrick, Barton, Brady - Barnes, Gray Tottenham: Lloris - Dier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen - Walker, Wanyama, Dembele, Davies - Alli, Eriksen - Son Heung-Min My prediction: Tottenham to win 2-1. Here are the odds for the match at Bet365: Burnley win - 5.50 Draw - 3.90 Tottenham win - 1.60
