Tottenham vs Burnley – (Saturday 3.00pm)

We like the prospect of this game with both Harry Redknapp & Owen Coyle intent on playing positive, attacking football providing plenty of entertainment & goals.

This is an important league match for Harry Redknapp & his players because they need to bounce back from back to back defeats against Manchester United & Chelsea.

Losing to Manchester United & Chelsea is clearly not a disaster, but team confidence is affected by defeats so it is important for them to get straight back on the winning trail.

Tottenham come into this game with defensive problems which is a cause for concern, but equally they have enough quality in midfield & attack to force themselves on their opponents and take the pressure of the defence.

Tottenham have been very strong at home in the league in the last year or so & they will come into this game looking to be positive from the start against a Burnley side who have suffered 3 defeats away from home & concended 9 goals.

Tottenham’s key strength is their quality & pace in attack with Aaron Lennon & Jermaine Defoe likely to be dangers to a Burnley defence which appear to lack pace & agility.

Owen Coyle is a positive manager as Burnley are a positive team, proven by the fact they have already won 3 games in the Premier League & they look to have the belief they can stay up this season. However, those 3 wins have all come at home & Burnley have 3 heavy away defeats to their name already. This must be a concern for them going into this match.

We expect this game to be a cracker that should see plenty of chances, but in our view Tottenham have a clear advantage in attacking quality & Defoe & Lennon can inspire Tottenham to a home win.
