Tottenham's new dawn under Thomas Frank started with a decent performance against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday and they will be hoping to improve upon that at home to Burnley on Saturday.

Spurs are coming off their worst top-flight season in living memory with a fan base demanding better from the Europa League winners.

But Burnley, by a country mile the most miserly side in the Championship last term, might not be an easy team to dismantle.

Team news

Tottenham are without James Maddison, who has been ruled out for the season after suffering an ACL injury, and he joins Dejan Kulusevski on the sidelines.

Destiny Udogie could be fit to be involved though not necessarily to start.

Manager Frank played a 5-3-2 set-up against PSG and has also tried 4-4-2 and 4-2-3-1 during pre-season.

Martin Dubravka has had a few niggles in pre-season but will wear the Burnley gloves if fit, while Armando Broja is unlikely to start having yet to figure for his new side.

The stats

Tottenham have not kept a clean sheet in any of their last 13 Premier League games.

Burnley kept 30 clean sheets on their way to finishing second in the Championship.

Spurs have won only one of their last six matches over the summer.

Burnley's last two pre-season games, against Stoke and Lazio, produced a total of two goals.

Prediction

A new manager, a few new faces and a 2-2 draw with Paris Saint-Germain in the Super Cup, have heightened expectations at Tottenham ahead of their season opener.

New boss Frank has brought Mohammed Kudus and Joao Palhinha into the mix at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and was delighted with elements of their draw with PSG, especially coming off the back of a wretched 2024-25.

But they have struggled to win games in the summer, have lost Maddison to injury and given that there were just five places in the pyramid between these clubs in May, maybe do not go expecting the home breeze that the odds imply.

Burnley were supremely well organised last term, keeping 30 clean sheets when winning promotion.

There is always the caveat that they were playing in tier two, but last week's 1-0 loss to Lazio suggested they remain an obdurate bunch who Scott Parker will have supremely well drilled.

This looks like being a low-scoring affair with the Clarets more than capable of staying in the game.
