Tottenham Hotspur
It’s our last home game of the season on Sunday as Burnley come to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – and it’s all to play for!
With two matches left, we’re just a point behind Arsenal in fourth place and a positive result against the Clarets would pile the pressure on the Gunners ahead of their trip to Newcastle on Monday night.
Burnley are also in need of the points as they look to stave off the threat of relegation.
