Tottenham Hotspur vs Burnley Matchday Stats Preview

Tottenham have won seven of their eight Premier League home games against Burnley (D1), winning the last four without conceding. Only against Crystal Palace between 2015 and 2019 have they won five in a row at home while keeping a clean sheet each time in the competition.

Burnley are winless in their last 10 away league games against Tottenham (D1 L9) since a 3-2 win at White Hart Lane in October 1974.

Tottenham have lost just one of their last 22 Premier League games against sides starting the day in the relegation zone (W14 D7), though that defeat did come against Burnley in February 2022.

Failure to win for Burnley will see them relegated from the Premier League for the fourth time. The Clarets have lost all seven of their league games against sides starting the day in the top five this season by an aggregate score of 24-7.

Tottenham have lost each of their last four Premier League games – they last had a longer losing run between October/November 2004 (6 – 3 under Jacques Santini, 3 under Martin Jol), while Ange Postecoglou could be the first Spurs manager to lose five in a row since Osvaldo Ardiles in February 1994 (7).

Tottenham have conceded 4+ goals in four different Premier League games this season, last doing so more in 2013-14 (5). Indeed, they haven’t kept a clean sheet in any of their last 13 home league games, their longest streak since a run of 15 between December 2002 and September 2003.

Nine of Burnley’s 39 Premier League goals this season have come from outside the box, the highest percentage of any side this term (23%). They’ve never scored 10+ from distance in a single Premier League campaign.

Tottenham’s Son Heung-Min has been directly involved in eight goals in his last six Premier League games against Burnley (5 goals, 3 assists), netting a hat-trick in the reverse fixture at Turf Moor in September.

Richarlison is the only player to both score and assist a goal as a substitute in more than one Premier League match this season, doing so in Tottenham’s 2-1 win against Sheffield United in September, and in their 4-2 loss at Liverpool last time out.

Burnley’s Arijanet Muric has the highest save percentage of any keeper in the Premier League this season (81.3%). Meanwhile, despite playing just eight games so far, he’s also got the second highest goals prevented rate (7) based on Opta’s expected goals on target conceded model (18 xGoT faced, 11 goals conceded excluding own goals).
