Tottenham Hotspur vs Burnley Prediction

Tottenham Hotspur are currently fifth in the league, having won four of their last five league games. They started the season well under Ange Postecoglou's management, but had some injury concerns and a drop-off in form. They have got back into the rhythm of things recently though.

A cup run could be a very positive outcome for Postecoglou. The club is keen to get their hands on a trophy, and given some of the concerns that the likes of Arsenal and Manchester City have shown, and with the troubling lack of form of clubs like Manchester United and Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur have a good chance of reaching the latter stages of the competition.

Burnley, on the other hand, are 19th in the league, having lost three of their last five league games. They have won three of their first 20 league games, and will enter this game as the underdogs.

Tottenham Hotspur should have enough to win here.

Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 Burnley
