James Tarkowksi is relishing the chance to try and overhaul Tottenham and stay in the thick of the action at the sharp end of the Premier League.
The Clarets face Spurs at Turf Moor on Saturday evening (KO 5.30pm) knowing victory will take them above Jose Mourinho’s side and possibly as high as seventh in the table.
And the prospect of making such a move is not lost on Tarkowski, who has played a key role in an unbeaten six-match run which has lifted Sean Dyche’s men from the fringes of the relegation places to the scrap for places outside the Champions League spots.
