Tottenham Hotspur
vs
Burnley
Match Schedule:
Date: September 26th
Time: 14:00 (GMT)
Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp could face David Nugent, the man he signed for Portsmouth but who failed to make his name at Fratton Park. Nugent moved to Turf Moor in the transfer window and came on last Saturday, against Sunderland, to score twice.
Spurs have injury problems with Roman Pavlyuchenko, Sébastien Bassong and Ledley King doubtful and Luka Modric, Michael Dawson and Jonathan Woodgate all missing. That could mean a makeshift defence with Vedran Corluka and Tom Huddlestone in the middle.
Burnley lost Chris McCann early on against Sunderland and he is out for three months, while Martin Paterson is also out following knee surgery. But goalkeeper Brian Jensen, injured at Barnsley, should be fit.
Tottenham Hotspur (Probable, 4-4-2): Gomes; Hutton, Dawson, Huddlestone, Assou-Ekotto; Lennon, Jenas, Palacios, Kranjcar; Crouch, Defoe.
Burnley (Probable, 4-5-1): Jensen; Mears, Carlisle, Bikey, Jordan; Elliot, Alexander, Gudjonsson, Guerrero, Blake; Fletcher.
Referee: Mike Dean. Matches 3. R0 Y18
Last season: N/A.
Stat of the game: Last season Spurs conceded 10 goals in 19 home games. They have already conceded five in three White Hart Lane games.
