Burnley and Tottenham Hotspur face off at Turf Moor on Saturday as both teams seek to convert recent improvements into important Premier League points.
Thomas Frank’s pressure eased somewhat with a 2–0 win over Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday. However, his team is still struggling in the domestic league, currently in 14th place after four consecutive league matches without a victory.
On the other hand, Scott Parker’s Burnley is showing signs of recovery despite being eight points from safety. They come into this match with confidence from a resilient 1–1 draw at Anfield.
