PREM: Tottenham v Burnley preview


Tottenham v Burnley preview

Tottenham Hotspur could welcome back several first-team regulars when they host Burnley at Wembley on Saturday.


Kieran Trippier, Juan Foyth and Davinson Sanchez and Serge Aurier will be assessed and might be in contention to return against the Clarets.

Despite all the recent absentees, Spurs' form has been strong over the last month. They have won eight of their last 10 matches and drew at Barcelona on Tuesday to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League.
 
Spurs are third in the Premier League, five points behind second-placed Manchester City and six behind leaders Liverpool, who play Manchester United on Sunday, live on Sky Sports.

Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino said: "I am more motivated to play against Burnley than the previous games because we can reduce the distance between Liverpool and Manchester City.
 
"To be up there is a massive motivation and I hope we all feel the same."

Burnley ended a two-month winless run with a 1-0 victory over Brighton last weekend.

They are 17th in the Premier League, two points above the relegation zone.
 
Spurs could welcome back Trippier, Foyth, Sanchez and Aurier, while Jan Vertonghen returns from suspension.

However, Mousa Dembele and Victor Wanyama are likely to miss the game.

Steven Defour and Johann Berg Gudmundsson are both doubts for Burnley.
