Tottenham Hotspur vs Burnley 05.01.2024 Prediction: FA Cup

Match Overview

Burnley travel to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London to take on their hosts Tottenham in a match in the FA Cup on Friday. Burnley will want to play to the best of their potential, and they will have to do so in order to eke out a positive result in this game. It will not be easy for them to travel to London and beat Tottenham on their own turf.

Key Highlights 

There have been a total of eighteen games played between these two teams in the past, out of which the home team have won 12. The visiting side have only been victorious on two occasions while the rest of the four matches were played out as drawn encounters. This goes to show that Tottenham have always had a big advantage over Burnley.

Injury Report

Tottenham have a long list of injured players in their ranks, which includes the likes of Pepe Sarr, Ryan Sessegnon, Manor Solomon, James Maddison and Ivan Perisic among others. Jack Cork and Manuel Benson, on the other hand, are a few players who Burnley will be without.

Prediction

Tottenham Hotspur appear to the overwhelming favourites to win this game. We expect them to do so quite comfortably. The home team have also won the last two matches that they have played against Burnley. In fact, when these two teams last met in September, Tottenham were able to put five goals past a hapless Burnley defence.
