Tottenham Hotspur kick off their Premier League campaign this afternoon with a home fixture against Burnley.
Thomas Frank will be looking for his side to put the midweek disappointment behind them after Tottenham lost to PSG in the UEFA Cup final, having conceded two late goals and ultimately lost the penalty shoot-out.
Burnley, managed by former Spurs midfielder Scott Parker, will be looking to capitalise on any tired legs in the home side following their European exploits.
Tottenham fans will be expecting the Dane to hit the ground running in a Premier League match where the home side are expected to take all three points.
How Tottenham line up against Burnley
Frank had some decisions to make on whether to change his starting XI after the likes of Brennan Johnson did not feature.
Dominic Solanke came off the bench for the last 18 minutes in Udine, but having missed all of pre-season due to injury, did not have the same impact as the industrious Richarlison.
Dragusin, Udogie, Takai, Maddison, and Kulusevski all miss out once again due to injury.
This is the Spurs team which takes to the field at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium today:
As expected, new club captain Cristian Romero leads out the side in N17 for the first time since being confirmed as the successor to Heung-min Son.
Tottenham Hotspur: Vicario, Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence; Gray, Bergvall; Kudus, Sarr, Johnson; Richarlison.
Subs: Kinsky, Danso, Palhinha, Tel, Vuskovic, Solanke, Odobert, Bentancur, Davies.
For those wondering how to watch Tottenham vs Burnley in the Premier League, unfortunately, the match will not be televised live in the UK.
Tottenham face some tough upcoming fixtures
Following today’s game, Tottenham will travel to the Etihad Stadium to face Manchester City next weekend. While Spurs have enjoyed decent success at City’s home in recent years, they simply cannot afford to go into the match without a win.
Bournemouth showed last night against Liverpool that they are capable of causing plenty of problems, and consecutive away fixtures at West Ham and Brighton are never easy.
Fans will be eagerly awaiting to see if Tottenham can complete a deal for Eberechi Eze to add some creativity to the side, while Savinho is hoping to join Spurs after his agent arrived in England to try to broker a transfer.
