BeIN SPORTS presenter Richard Keys and pundit Andy Gray have submitted their predictions for Tottenham Hotspur’s trip to Burnley on Saturday.
The two teams face off at Turf Moor and are well rested after not featuring in the FA Cup last weekend. Spurs will be looking to keep their unlikely Premier League title challenge going against Sean Dyche’s side.
Keys had his say: “Burnley-Tottenham is very interesting,” he told beIN SPORTS. “I’m going Burnley: one – and there is a chance Harry Kane will make his return, of course – Spurs: one.”
“If Kane’s back, particularly, that’s a massive boost for them,” Gray said. “They know what they’ve got to do, they’ve just got to keep winning. I think they will. I’m going to go Burnley 1-2 Tottenham.”

OPINION
Keys has really put the cat amongst the pigeons with his prediction of a draw, hasn’t he? Burnley at home is always going to be a tough game, of course. Dyche has his players set up well, everyone knows their job, and they appear to have overcome the Europa League-enforced wobble they had at the start of the campaign. Still, you have to go with Tottenham here. Mauricio Pochettino’s side are absolutely flying at the moment and are about to have their best player back from injury. Even if Kane doesn’t feature – or only comes off the bench – Spurs should have more than enough to dispatch the Clarets. Son Heung-min is in unbelievable form, whilst they’re coming off the back of a phenomenal result against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League last time out. It will be tricky, but Gray’s prediction of a 2-1 win for Tottenham sounds about right.
