The Clarets are back at Turf Moor for the last time before Christmas and looking to deliver the goods after a three-game losing run.
Burnley’s blip has seen then slip into the bottom half of the Premier League, below Steve Bruce’s Newcastle who have left their early-season troubles behind them thanks to a run of five wins and two draws from their last seven games.
The Clarets have lost successive home fixtures to Crystal Palace and league champions Manchester City.
But Tottenham are the only side outside the top three with more than Burnley’s four home wins – each of which have been secured without conceding a goal.
