Yves Bissouma and Dominic Solanke are handed their first Premier League starts of the season for Tottenham's trip to Burnley. Manager Thomas Frank makes three changes from the midweek Champions League win, with Micky van de Ven potentially shifting to left-back. The Clarets remain unchanged, aiming to end a 13-game winless league run.

Frank needs a win to build on the crucial victory over Borussia Dortmund, which eased pressure after a dismal league run. Tottenham sit 14th, while second-bottom Burnley are eight points from safety. This fixture pits two teams desperate for points to climb out of the Premier League's lower reaches.

The midfield sees Bissouma and Conor Gallagher start, with Lucas Bergvall injured. Burnley's unchanged side includes former Spurs players Kyle Walker and Marcus Edwards. A victory could provide vital momentum for Spurs' season and deepen Burnley's relegation worries.
