This year's participation in the FA Cup, Tottenham opens with a match against Burnley at home. In the previous competitive game, the home team defeated Bournemouth, while the visitors lost to Aston Villa. Three days after a 4:2 defeat against Brighton, Tottenham bounced back with a 3:1 win against Bournemouth. Pape Matar Sarr and Son Heung-min scored before heading to the AFCON and Asian Cup, with Richarlison adding the third goal. Despite Alex Scott's goal for Bournemouth, Spurs secured their 12th league win with a very confident performance throughout the 90 minutes. Tottenham, who are in fifth place in the Premier League, are now only a point behind Arsenal, who are in fourth place. They still have a chance for the title, just six points behind Liverpool. Apart from the aforementioned Son and Sarr, Bissouma is one of the important players who will not be available to Postecoglou. Although Spurs are missing a number of first-team regulars, Postecoglou still has enough strength in depth to field a reasonably strong side capable of outscoring a defensively frail Burnley.

This time last year, Burnley were dominating the Championship, but now they are struggling to stay in the Premier League after 15 defeats in their first 20 games. Coach Vincent Kompany was frustrated by controversial decisions in last week's defeat to Aston Villa. Key players like Luc Koleos, Hjalmar Ekdal, Jack Cork and Jordan Beyer are injured, while Sander Berge is suspended. Josh Cullen is questionable, and Aaron Ramsey could start in midfield. Even if they have a complete team available for this match, because of everything shown during the season, I believe that Burnley can hardly achieve a positive outcome here. They are in big trouble in the Premier League and I honestly think that at this moment they will give priority to that competition and that the cup games are completely unnecessary for them. Throughout the season, Postecoglou has been pushing very offensive football and I expect it to be the same in this match. Quality is certainly on their side and I am sure that they can solve this game in their favor without major problems.

今年参加足总杯，热刺将在主场迎战伯恩利。在之前的比赛中，主队击败了伯恩茅斯，而客队输给了阿斯顿维拉。在4:2输给布莱顿三天后，托特纳姆热刺队以3:1战胜伯恩茅斯。帕佩·马塔尔·萨尔和孙兴慜在进入非洲杯和亚洲杯之前分别打进一球，理查森攻入第三球。尽管阿历克斯·斯科特为伯恩茅斯攻入一球，热刺还是凭借90分钟充满信心的表现获得了他们的第12场联赛胜利。热刺目前在英超联赛中排名第五，只比排名第四的阿森纳落后1分。他们仍然有机会夺冠，只落后利物浦6分。除了前面提到的孙兴慜和萨尔之外，比索马是波斯特科格洛无法使用的重要球员之一。虽然热刺失去了一些主力球员，但波斯特科格洛仍然有足够的深度来组建一支相当强大的球队，能够击败防守薄弱的伯恩利。

去年的这个时候，伯恩利统治着英冠，但现在他们在前20场比赛中输了15场后，很难留在英超。在上周输给阿斯顿维拉的比赛中，教练文森特·孔帕尼对有争议的决定感到沮丧。科雷奥斯、埃克达尔、科克和拜尔等关键球员受伤，贝尔热将停赛。约什-库伦的下场值得怀疑，拉姆塞可能会在中场首发。即使他们在这场比赛中有一个完整的阵容，因为赛季中表现出来的一切，我相信伯恩利很难在这里取得积极的结果。他们在英超联赛中遇到了大麻烦，老实说，我认为现在他们会优先考虑联赛，杯赛对他们来说完全没有必要。整个赛季，波斯特科格洛一直在推动进攻足球，我希望这场比赛也是如此。质量当然在他们这边，我相信他们可以在没有重大问题的情况下解决这场比赛。
