5 key games in Burnley’s packed festive schedule

Tottenham v Burnley – December 18

Nobody said the Premier League was going to be easy and that is how it’s proving.

The Clarets pitch up for their final ever league visit to White Hart Lane. Sean Dyche reverts back to 4-5-1 to try to deny and frustrate a solid and dangerous Spurs side, who are especially rampant on home soil.

What to expect? The Clarets defence to see wave after wave of Spurs attack, with James Tarkowski making an appearance at some point to either hold what the Clarets have or limit any further damage.

However, Burnley are waving the white flag before half-time as they go 2-0 down.

An improved second-half display see’s the Clarets limit the hosts, but they leave the capital with nothing.

Burnley end the year still looking for an away win and some kind of formula on the road. 

Predicted Score: 3-0

Realistic Target: 0 points

Expected Target: 0 points
