Burnley began the year with many concerns as they continued to fight to avoid relegation. After 20 rounds, the Turf Moor team had only achieved a few points, which left them second to last in the table. Before their match against Manchester United more than two weeks ago, Burnley had only added 2 points after 11 games, sinking into a spiral of poor performance.
However, the morale from the 2-2 draw against the Red Devils helped Burnley regain confidence. They beat Millwall 5-1 in the FA Cup and forced the defending champions, Liverpool, to share the points at Anfield. Although they have not yet improved their position in the league, their great fighting spirit is the basis on which Burnley hopes to spring a surprise against Tottenham.
On the other hand, Tottenham is also going through a difficult time. Before matchday 23, the Spurs only had 27 points, with 7 wins, 6 draws and 9 losses, and were in 14th place in the table. Despite the change of coach, the north London team continues to perform poorly in domestic competitions, after being prematurely eliminated from the FA Cup and the League Cup. Their only consolation came in the Champions League, where they recently defeated Dortmund 2-0 to reach the top 8.
Manager Thomas Frank has eased some of the pressure thanks to positive results in Europe, but if he continues to disappoint in the Premier League, he will hardly be able to avoid criticism.
Tottenham have a superior record in their direct confrontations against Burnley. In their last 10 games, Spurs have won 8, drawn 1 and lost only 1. It is worth noting that they are unbeaten in their last 13 Premier League away games against newly promoted teams (11 wins, 2 draws). This gives them the basis to confidently aspire to a positive result, even though their current form is not entirely convincing.
