Start Time and Streaming Info
The game starts at 11:00 a.m. ET. It can be viewed live online thru FuboTV.
Tottenham has been mercurial in the past few rounds as the team alternated winning and losing in their last five games. The team is now at the fifth spot in the overall standings, temporarily holding the Europa League qualifying berth for next season, three points below fourth-running club Manchester City for the final Champions League spot next term. They are tied on points with sixth-place team Manchester United but has a higher goal difference.
The Spurs are coming off a 3-0 rout of cellar-dwellers Hull City also at the White Hart Lane last Wednesday, as per SkySports.
Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen netted a brace in the 14th and 63rd minutes to lead head coach Mauricio Pochettino's side during the contest.
Kenyan midfielder Victor Wanyama sealed the game in the 73rd minute with a rebound goal after Eriksen's shot clanged off the post.
Meanwhile, Burnley was nipped by fellow lowly club West Ham United, 0-1, on the road at the London Stadium also last Wednesday, ESPN reported.
West Ham captain Mark Noble provided the lone goal of the game for the hosts after he rebounded his own spot kick miss to bury the follow-up strike in the first half injury time.
Both teams went goalless in the second half of play as head coach Sean Dyche's squad absorbed their ninth loss of the season.
The defeat was the Clarets' fourth in their last five matches. They are currently at the 16th spot of the 20-team table, only three points above the bottom three relegation area.
