Burnley Preview – Can the Clarets surprise Spurs?
Burnley have had a tough time so far this season, as Sean Dyche’s men are one of just three clubs yet to pick up a Premier League win. The Clarets are in the bottom three having lost four and drawn five of their opening nine.
Burnley have been hard to beat of late, though, with just Manchester City getting the better of them in the past month. Last weekend, the Lancashire side picked up a handy 2-2 draw with Southampton at St Mary’s.
In the EFL Cup, Burnley edged past Newcastle at St James’ Park on penalties in round two. They then thumped Rochdale 4-1 at Turf Moor, with Jay Rodriguez scoring all four goals. Can they see off Tottenham on Wednesday?
Tottenham Hotspur Preview – Can Nuno’s troops bounce back?
Since leaving Wolverhampton Wanderers to take over at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the summer, Nuno Espirito Santo has had a mixed start in north London. Tottenham Hotspur sit sixth in the Premier League after five wins and four defeats from their opening nine.
Tottenham were beaten at Vitesse in the UEFA Europa Conference League last Thursday before crashing to a 1-0 league defeat to rivals West Ham United at the London Stadium on Sunday. Nuno’s Spurs have already been beaten six times in all competitions this term.

Burnley vs Tottenham Hotspur Betting Advice
Tottenham cruised to a 4-0 victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium back in February when these two teams last met. Gareth Bale bagged a brace, while Harry Kane and Lucas Moura were also on the scoresheet. In the reverse league matchup at Turf Moor six months earlier, a Heung-Min Son goal was enough for a 1-0 Spurs victory.

Both sides could do with a win in the cup after some poor results of late. Burnley are still searching for their first league victory, while Tottenham lost to Vitesse and West Ham in the past week.
The Clarets may be on home soil, but we fancy Tottenham to edge a tight affair at Turf Moor. Back the Tottenham win and both teams to score at 15/4.
Harry Kane has not been at his best of late, but the England skipper has still managed to find the net ten times for club and country this season. Kane netted in the previous round, and you can get 10/3 for Spurs’ No. 10 to open the scoring in this one.
