Team News and Predicted Lineups
Tottenham manager Thomas Frank faces some key decisions. After a narrow pre-season defeat to Lazio, Burnley are eager to make a positive impression in their return to the Premier League, meaning that Tottenham will have to bring their A-game. Dominic Solanke is returning from an ankle injury and it's unclear if he will start, while Richarlison did incredibly well against PSG. Kudus is also a key threat for Tottenham, and has shown promise in previous matches.
Yves Bissouma is back in the squad after missing the Super Cup due to disciplinary reasons. Destiny Udogie is still out with a knee injury. Frank may switch from a back-three system used against PSG to a more conventional 4-2-3-1 formation.
