Tottenham Hotspur host Burnley at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, in a match that has major implications for their Champions League hopes.
Spurs have endured a disappointing run of form in recent weeks, losing their last three Premier League matches and falling seven points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa. With just five games remaining in the season, Tottenham know that they can ill-afford another setback.
Burnley, meanwhile, are fighting for their Premier League survival. The Clarets are currently 18th in the table, two points from safety. A win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium would give them a major boost in their bid to avoid relegation.
Tottenham will be without the suspended Son Heung-min for the match against Burnley. The South Korean has been in excellent form this season, scoring 17 goals in all competitions. His absence is a blow to Tottenham's attack, but they will still be confident of beating Burnley.
Burnley have not won away from home in the Premier League since September. They have also lost their last four matches against Tottenham. However, the Clarets will be buoyed by their recent form at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. They beat Tottenham 1-0 in the FA Cup fifth round in March.
Tottenham will be looking to bounce back from their recent defeats and keep their Champions League hopes alive. Burnley will be fighting for their Premier League survival. It promises to be a fascinating match between two teams with contrasting objectives.
