Injury News and Suspensions
Burnley
The hosts face a defensive headache with Roberts and Beyer out until late January. Cullen’s long-term cruciate injury keeps him sidelined until September, while Amdouni remains out until April. Doubts linger over Worrall, Tresor, and Flemming, forcing Parker to reshuffle a squad already lacking depth and confidence during this run.
Tottenham Hotspur
Thomas Frank’s squad is ravaged by injuries. Creative hub Maddison is out until May, joined by Kudus and Bentancur who are sidelined until April. Kulusevski targets a late January return, but Richarlison and Bergvall remain major doubts. These absences significantly hinder the visitors’ attacking flair and midfield stability right now.

Form Guide
Burnley
Sitting 19th, the hosts are enduring a nightmare run of 11 games without a win. Scott Parker maintains a structured possession style, yet a lack of self-belief has led to costly individual errors. Defensive compactness remains the goal, but the Clarets struggle to transition into meaningful attacks. Key men like Mejbri in midfield and Broja upfront must find inspiration to bridge the nine-point gap to safety in the current league table.
Tottenham Hotspur
Currently 14th, the visitors are struggling under Thomas Frank’s aggressive philosophy. With only seven wins all season, defensive disorganization and individual mistakes have plagued the North Londoners. Despite having talent like Simons and Tel, a lack of consistent creativity makes them one of the league’s most underwhelming sides. They desperately need to find their tactical identity again and exploit the defensive frailties of the home side today.

Key Battles
Armando Broja vs Cristian Romero
Armando Broja serves as the focal point for Parker’s pragmatic attack at Turf Moor. His physical presence and ability to hold up the ball are vital for a team relying on structured possession. He needs to exploit gaps in a disorganized defense to provide the clinical finish his side lacks.
Cristian Romero is the aggressive heart of Frank’s backline, tasked with neutralizing direct threats. While his bravery fits the manager’s philosophy, his tendency for rash challenges could be a liability against a disciplined opponent. He must maintain composure to ensure the visitors don’t gift easy chances to the hosts.
Hannibal Mejbri vs Xavi Simons
Hannibal Mejbri is the engine room’s creative spark, responsible for linking the defense to the attack. In Parker’s system, his ability to retain possession under pressure is crucial for maintaining the team’s shape. He will look to disrupt the opposition’s rhythm while searching for a defense-splitting pass for Broja.
Xavi Simons operates as the primary creative outlet for the visitors, thriving in transitional moments. His technical skill allows him to exploit space between the lines, but he often lacks consistent support from a struggling midfield. His performance will dictate whether the North London side can finally unlock a compact defense.
Tactical Outlook
Parker will likely set the Clarets up in a compact shape, prioritizing defensive organization to frustrate the visitors. They will look to control the tempo through slow, structured possession, hoping to draw the opposition out. However, their tendency for individual errors means they must remain hyper-focused to avoid being caught out by the high-pressing, aggressive nature of Frank’s tactical setup.
Frank will demand a brave and aggressive approach, utilizing the width provided by Porro to stretch the home defense. Despite their recent frailties, the visitors will focus on high-intensity pressing and set-piece opportunities to gain an advantage. They need to find a balance between their attacking philosophy and defensive stability to prevent being hit on the break by the struggling hosts.
Possible Playing Squad
Burnley XI:
Dubravka (GK), Walker, Humphreys, Estève, Laurent, Florentino, Ugochukwu, Mejbri, Edwards, Pires, Broja
Tottenham Hotspur XI:
Vicario (GK), Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence, Palhinha, Bentancur, Simons, Bergvall, Tel, Kolo Muani
Burnley vs Tottenham Hotspur Football Match Prediction
Turf Moor often provides a psychological edge, but the hosts’ current lack of confidence is concerning. While Parker’s tactical discipline offers a solid foundation, the visitors’ aggressive philosophy might just overwhelm them. Expect a cagey affair where both struggling sides prioritize avoiding defeat over taking significant risks during the play.
Burnley vs Tottenham Hotspur Score Prediction
Burnley 1–1 Tottenham Hotspur; Broja’s physicality offers a threat for the Clarets, but Simons’ creativity should help the visitors salvage a point in a desperate, low-quality survival battle today.
