'Strong Chance' For Barnes

Ashley Barnes could be back to try and add to his impressive goal tally against Tottenham.

Barnes scored the winner against Spurs at Turf Moor last season and hit the net twice in two games for the Clarets at White Hart Lane.

Chris Wood then took on the goal-scoring mantle as Burnley took a point from Tottenham at Wembley two seasons ago.

And he may have Barnes back alongside him on Saturday at the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after the partnership – which has yielded 30 Premier League goals in 2019 – was broken up by a groin injury to Barnes in Tuesday night’s home defeat to Manchester City.
