Tottenham will assess a host of players ahead of their Premier League clash with Burnley.

Kieran Tripper, Serge Aurier (both groin), Davinson Sanchez and Juan Foyth (hamstring) have all been struggling in recent weeks and could well miss the game.

Mousa Dembele (ankle) and Victor Wanyama (knee) will definitely miss out, but Jan Vertonghen returns from his Premier League ban.

Spurs are on a high, having clinched a place in the knockout phase of the Champions League by drawing 1-1 with Barcelona at the Nou Camp this week.

And Burnley boss Sean Dyche believes Mauricio Pochettino and his players deserve a huge amount of credit for the way they managed to progress from the group despite a poor start to their campaign.

“I thought it was a very good result and the way they went about it,” Dyche said at a press conference ahead of his struggling side’s trip to Wembley.

“They were brave, they pressed the lines, they got in the passing lanes, squeezed the pitch and they were brave in doing so.

“There was a bit of noise about how they hadn’t brought any players in. I thought they had a pretty handy group of players there and now it’s showing.”
