Tottenham will take on Burnley on Saturday, 16 August, as part of the opening round of Premier League fixtures this season.
Despite losing the Super Cup on a penalty shootout in the week, Spurs were excellent against PSG and looked more than ready for the new season.
Burnley, meanwhile, will also be excited after securing promotion from the Championship last season with 100 points.

Tottenham vs Burnley prediction: A steady start for Spurs
Key Stats
- Tottenham have kept a clean sheet in three of their six pre-season fixtures.
- Burnley only scored 69 goals in 46 Championship games last season.
- Three of Burnley's last four pre-season friendlies in the build-up to this match produced fewer than three goals.
Correct score prediction: Tottenham 1-0 Burnley
Tottenham won't be the same wide-open team that they were under Ange Postecoglou, and during pre-season, they have looked a lot more structured under Thomas Frank. Burnley were far from entertaining last season in the Championship, and they could struggle with that same style against better opposition.
Pre-game odds and win probability: A close one to call
- HOME: 4/11 (1.36) – 73.3%
- DRAW: 4/1 (5.00) – 20%
- AWAY: 7/1 (8.00) – 12.5%

Tottenham preview: Adapting to a new style
Tottenham were excellent in the Super Cup against PSG, but Frank is expected to welcome Dominic Solanke back into the fold here. There are question marks around Yves Bissouma after Frank disciplined him for persistent lateness, while James Maddison, Kota Takai, Manor Solomon, Dejan Kulusevski, Bryan Gil, Destiny Udogie and Radu Dragusin are all injured.
Predicted lineup: Vicario (GK), Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence, Palhinha, Bentancur, Kudus, Bergvall, Johnson, Solanke

Player to watch: Brennan Johnson
After his winner in the Europa League final in May, Brennan Johnson will be a Tottenham cult hero forever, but he will want to be more than that. Johnson has the ability to become an elite Premier League winger, but he needs to be more consistent. Could Thomas Frank turn him into another version of Bryan Mbeumo?
