Burnley vs. Tottenham Hotspur Match preview
The English Premier League is set to continue on Monday Night with eighteenth placed Burnley hosting Tottenham at Turf Moor Stadium. Burnley fought to a first point of the campaign in their four games only to secure a goalless draw at West Brom on Monday; the Premier League’s first 0-0 of the 2020/21. Both teams had chances at The Hawthorns, so it was probably a fair result.
Tottenham would be second in the table but for two very different late equalizers saw them drop two crucial points. Manuel Lanzini’s stunning strike last time out completed a remarkable West Ham comeback, while VAR controversy took them off their feet against Newcastle United.

Burnley vs Tottenham Prediction
Burnley have started the season at a slow pace, but their performance statistics are still similar to last season where they were a mid-table team. The situation will be different and difficult for them this Monday with the current form of Harry Kane, who performed like the best striker in world football against West Ham. Kane has seven goals in eight Premier League appearances against Burnley – it’s hard to see Claret defense stopping him.
