Burnley - DDDLW -------- Spurs - LWLLW
Both of us will be seeking to build on thrilling away wins at the weekend. We will lock horns in Wednesday's rescheduled Premier League encounter at Turf Moor. Burnley ran out 3-0 winners against Brighton & Hove Albion last time out, while we sunk Manchester City 3-2 in an Etihad extravaganza.
It has been a long time coming, but Burnley finally have an away win to boast about, as none other than 6ft 5in talisman Wout Weghorst inspired his new club to a storming 3-0 win over Brighton on the South Coast on Saturday.
The Netherlands international opened his Burnley account with a powerful drive in the 21st minute before some strong hold-up play saw him set up Josh Brownhill for his side's second, and the tie was put to bed by our previous veteran winger Aaron Lennon in the 69th minute.
Only a second win of the Premier League season - and an emphatic one at that - means that Burnley do have their fate in their own hands when it comes to the relegation dogfight, as the Clarets have leapfrogged Norwich City into 19th and are five points adrift of safety with two games in hand.
Ending a 12-game winless run in all competitions is just what the doctor ordered before a clash with us, and focus now turns to ending their six-game winless run at Turf Moor, but they have given Manchester United and Liverpool a hard time on home soil recently. Despite their overall poor streak at Turf Moor this season, Dyche's side have rather impressively shipped just 10 goals on their own patch in the league and boast the best defensive record in the bottom half by far, but that will be tested to the extreme on Wednesday.
Mere days after it was revealed that Manchester City saw four summer bids for him rejected, Kane showed his admirers exactly what they are missing out on, as the England captain produced his finest performance of the season to propel us to a dramatic 3-2 win on the champions' turf.
Many expected a fourth consecutive Premier League defeat for us under Conte, and Mahrez's late penalty appeared to salvage a point for Man City, but Kane was in the right place at the right time to head home in the fifth minute of injury time to send our visiting support into delirium.
As impressive as our victory was, there will inevitably be questions as to why we could not produce the goods against the likes of Southampton and Wolverhampton Wanderers, as we remain top-four outsiders while we lie eighth in the rankings. We will temporarily leapfrog Arsenal and Wolverhampton Wanderers into sixth with all three points here and travel to Turf Moor in the knowledge that at least one of our top-four rivals will drop points in Thursday's clash at the Emirates, so the pressure could hardly weigh heavier on us to deliver again.
The 3-2 win over City did mark the third Premier League away game in a row that we have conceded two goals, but wey have won our last three against Burnley with three clean sheets in tow and will pray for less adverse weather lest another postponement befall both sides. We will be desperate to prove that our thrilling success over the champions was no fluke, and Kane would choose no better time to kick on and rediscover his best goal scoring form here.

Team News
Burnley suffered injury scares with key men Weghorst and Maxwel Cornet during the Brighton clash, but Dyche is hopeful that the duo will both shake off their issues in time for our the visit.
It remains to be seen if Charlie Taylor and COVID-positive duo James Tarkowski and Ashley Westwood will be back in time, but Johann Berg Gudmundsson has picked up a fresh injury and Matei Vydra is recovering from his hernia operation.
Dyche will certainly hope to name an unchanged XI if fitness levels allow him to do so, with Nathan Collins set to partner Ben Mee in the rearguard if Tarkowski is unable to start the game.
We welcomed Dier back to the team with open arms against Man City, but Skipp (groin) and Tanganga (knee) are set to sit this one out.
Reguilon confirmed on social media that he had contracted COVID-19 before the Man City win and is also unlikely to take part, but Emerson should be fine despite coming off with a knock at the Etihad.
Kulusevski's goal and assist earned him high praise from Conte at the weekend, and the Juventus loanee should form an unchanged attack with Kane and Son this week.
