Burnley vs Tottenham prediction, preview, team news and more | League Cup 2021-22
Burnley host Tottenham at Turf Moor in round four of the EFL Cup on Wednesday, with both sides having disappointing seasons so far.
Burnley have been woeful this season, having yet to win a game in the Premier League. Sean Dyche's side beat Rochdale 4-1 in the previous round of the competition and will hope to replicate their performance against Tottenham on Wednesday.
Despite their strong start to the season, Tottenham have faltered of late. Nuno Espirito Santo's side have lost their last two games on the trot and will hope to bounce back with a win against a poor Burnley side on Wednesday.

Both sides will be looking to pick up a victory and progress to the next round of the competition, and that should make Wednesday's fixture an interesting matchup.
