Burnley play host to Tottenham in the Premier League on Monday night. The Clarets are winless in four games in all competitions, a run of form that has contributed to their lowly 18th-place position. Spurs have looked good in the early weeks of the season but slipped up last weekend when they threw away a three-goal lead that allowed West Ham to get a point. That was firmly two points dropped for Jose Mourinho's team and leaves them seventh in the table after five games. They have been far from the only team to succumb to a freak result in what has been a bizarre campaign so far. Their last away result is evidence of that freak nature, a 6-1 battering of Manchester United. Spurs are unbeaten in their last seven away matches in all competitions. They have been especially prolific on their travels of late, scoring at least three goals in three of the last four games on the road. Burnley, who have failed to score in three of their last four matches, have failed to win five of their last six home matches in all competitions. 

Sean Dyche will be concerned about the start that his team has made to the season. They are unbeaten in their last two matches at home against Tottenham. They will be wary of the form of both Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son, both of whom scored in a 5-0 win over Burnley last season. In the league, Son has seven goals and Kane, who leads the Premier League assist charts, has five. We can see them causing Burnley further grief in what we expect will be an away win.
