Tottenham Hotspur vs Burnley Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2025-26

Spurs secured a win when they last faced the Clarets.

Tottenham Hotspur are all set to host Burnley in the matchweek 1 fixture of the 2025-26 English Premier League. It is going to be an interesting contest between these sides, which is scheduled to take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The Thomas Frank-led side is coming in after facing a loss against Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup contest. It was a good performance by Tottenham Hotspur, but they lost the game via penalties. Spurs will now be looking to begin their new Premier League campaign on a positive note.

Burnley are one of three promoted sides from the English League Championship this season. Their performances during their 2024-25 campaign were good enough and this got them back to the top tier of English football. The Clarets will be away from home for their first game of the season.

Players to Watch

Pape Matar Sarr (Tottenham)

Lyle Foster (Burnley)

Lyle Foster will have an important role to play in the attacking front for the Clarets. The 24-year-old from South Africa did put up a decent show for Burnley during their 2024-25 campaign. Foster will be keen on delivering for his once again, but the upcoming game is not going to be an easy affair for them.
