Tottenham vs Burnley: Match Preview
Tottenham comes into this fixture after a mixed pre-season that culminated in an agonizing penalty shootout defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup. Despite the loss, their performance against the European champions showed promising signs. Historically, Spurs have a strong record on the opening day at home against promoted teams, winning both of their previous encounters.
Burnley, on the other hand, had an exceptional season in the Championship, accumulating 100 points with a formidable defense. However, the Premier League presents a much tougher challenge. The Clarets have struggled in their recent opening day fixtures in the top division, losing their last three. Furthermore, they have a poor away record against Tottenham in the Premier League, having never won at their ground.
Tottenham has dominated this fixture in recent years, winning seven of their last eight meetings with Burnley. The last four encounters have all ended in victory for the Lilywhites.
Tottenham vs Burnley: Team News
Tottenham Hotspur
Thomas Frank will be without several key players for his first Premier League match in charge. James Maddison, Radu Dragusin, Dejan Kulusevski, and Destiny Udogie are all sidelined with injuries. Yves Bissouma is expected to return to the squad after being dropped for disciplinary reasons. New signings such as Mohammed Kudus and Joao Palhinha are in line to make their Premier League debuts. Dominic Solanke is also expected to be fit to start after returning from an ankle injury.
Predicted Tottenham XI (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence; Palhinha, Bentancur; Kudus, Sarr, Odobert; Richarlison.
Burnley
Scott Parker also has injury concerns, with Zeki Amdouni, Jordan Beyer, and Bashir Humphreys ruled out. There are also doubts over the fitness of Axel Tuanzebe, Connor Roberts, and Zian Flemming. Burnley has been active in the transfer market, and several new signings could make their debuts, including former Tottenham defender Kyle Walker and goalkeeper Martin Dúbravka.
Predicted Burnley XI (Possible): Dúbravka; Walker, Estève, Ekdal, Hartman; Laurent, Cullen; Edwards, Mejbri, Anthony; Foster.
Tottenham vs Burnley: Prediction
While Burnley’s defensive record in the Championship was impressive, Tottenham’s attacking quality should prove to be the difference. Spurs will be motivated to impress their new manager and get their season off to a winning start. Despite their injury list, they have enough firepower to overcome a Burnley side that may take time to adapt to the rigors of the Premier League.
Prediction: Tottenham 2-0 Burnley
