Tottenham vs Burnley Prediction

Tottenham Form

Tottenham have been a little inconsistent recently, as they beat Everton by 2-1. Following that up proved too difficult, as they lost 4-2 against Brighton, before claiming three points in a 3-1 win against Bournemouth. Tottenham won five of their last six FA Cup matches at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, scoring 15 and conceding nine along the way. They lost once but didn't draw a single match.

Burnley Form

In their last three matches, Burnley won 0-2 win against Fulham, lost 0-2 against Liverpool and lost 3-2 against Aston Villa. Burnley, meanwhile, won twice, while they've drawn one and lost three in their last six away in the FA Cup.

We trust neither defence to be able to keep their opponent at bay, when Tottenham welcome Burnley this coming Friday. Goals should be flowing at both ends of the pitch.
