Jose Mourinho is looking for a response after suffering his first defeat as Tottenham Hotspur head coach against Manchester United, and a win could move Spurs back into the top six.

Burnley are seeking their second away win of the season, with their first coming against Watford in their previous road trip.

Team news

Spurs suffered no new injuries at Old Trafford and so Ben Davies, Erik Lamela, Hugo Lloris and Michel Vorm are their only absentees.

Ashley Barnes (groin) is likely to be available for Burnley, but Charlie Taylor, Phil Bardsley and Kevin Long are all doubts. 

Ashley Westwood is eligible again after serving a suspension against Manchester City but is a doubt due to a groin injury. Johann Gudmundsson (hamstring) remains out.
