Spurs are back at White Hart Lane again on Saturday to face Burnley, as Spurs will be looking to extend their great form, and build on the great performance that we saw on Wednesday, seeing of Newcastle 4-0. With a win, that will make it three wins in six days for Spurs. The visiting side, Sean Dyche’s Burnley have kept quite a few clean sheets in recent times, and will be hard to break down. Tottenham have no players out of action at this moment in time, so it is straight onto the predicted line-up.
Predicted Line-up (4-4-2):
Goalkeeper: Hugo Lloris:
Lloris has been out main starter between the sticks this season, and I expect that he will start again. The visitors could prove to be quite dangerous on the break, and the Frenchman will need to be alert for the full ninety minutes to counter this.
Defence: Kyle Walker, Federico Fazio, Jan Vertonghen, Danny Rose:
After being left out on Wednesday, I think that Kyle Walker will start once again after returning from his injury that has seen him out since March. Jan Vertonghen has recently told the media that it really helps that he is playing with a regular centre-back partner, so obviously, it should be Vertonghen and Fazio at the back. I think that Ben Davies’ run in the Premier League has come to an end unfortunately, so it should be Danny Rose that starts on the left.
Midfield: Erik Lamela, Nabil Bentaleb, Ryan Mason, Christian Eriksen:
Eriksen simply has to start this weekend after the performances he has shown in recent weeks, Mauricio Pochettino would look like an absolute fool if he was to leave the in-form Dane out of his starting line-up after he reported that his side has no injury concerns. I expect that the young duo will continue to boss that midfield again in the middle of the park, and after being rested in midweek against Newcastle, I think that Erik Lamela could be given yet another chance out on the right wing.
Strikers: Roberto Soldado, Harry Kane:
In order to beat Burnley, I feel that we need to pile the pressure on them, and then starting two up front could help us to do this. Roberto Soldado will be feeling good after scoring a goal in midweek, our forth, helping us qualify for the semi-finals of the Capital One Cup. It goes without saying that Harry Kane is in fantastic form, bagging yet another goal, he truly is in fantastic form.
