The teams cram into the tunnel at Turf Moor, the mascot leading out captain for the day Harry Kane gives him a big hug. They may both be as nervous as each other today.

What a season for the lad. Kane, I mean.

Cameron Laws: Going to be totally honest. I want Sean Dyche to be the next England manager. Think he'd do a brilliant job

Harry Kane's 19 Premier League goals this season have won Spurs 22 points - nine more than any other player in the PL has won for their side this season.

Kane is one goal away from 30 in all competitions too. If he gets there he'll be their first 30-goal-a-season man since a certain Gary Lineker in 1992.

Matt, Kettering: "Re: Andros Townsend [see 12:41], I think the answer is 'no'. He's a one trick pony (run, cut in, shoot) who doesn't pull the trick off consistently enough for either club or country."

A glorious day at Turf Moor as Burnley and Spurs go through their warm-ups. Vlad Chiriches gets a rare start in the Tottenham backline, will he come under pressure from the Burnley attack today?The Clarets are playing three up front with Danny Ings, Sam Vokes and Ashley Barnes all bringing different attributes to the table.

BBC Sport pundit Robbie Savage

Eden Hazard? Harry Kane? Diego Costa?

The battle to be named player of the season promises to be a close one.

BBC Sport pundit Robbie Savage was asked to pick his nominations this week and he went for Kane.

Savage said: "His impact as one individual on his team is more than any other player on my shortlist and comparable to what Luis Suarez did for Liverpool last season."

MOTD2 Extra

Finally from BBC MOTD2 EXTRA, former England midfielder Jermaine Jenas, BBC commentator Conor McNamara and Times writer Rory Smith are in agreement that Chelsea's Eden Hazard has been the Premier League's stand-out player as the end-of-term honours season approaches.

Raheem Sterling's future at Liverpool is still a subject of discussion after he told BBC Sport he will talk with the club in the summer.

Agent Phil Smith told Sportsweek on BBC Radio 5 live: "It's left him open. As a 20-year-old, if he's not in a position to be completely in control of that situation, then it's certainly been left open to interpretation.

"He'll have been told that two years left on a deal is a moment in time, contractually. He will have a plan of what he wants to do. You wonder if Liverpool have got anything to offer him to develop. There may be a good creative reason as to why he's questioning his future with Liverpool."

On whether he would advise Sterling to do the interview: "Clearly not. You'd want to talk to the club and work with the club. The club is always bigger than the player. My opinion is if he was doubting his long-term future, then clubs are going to be saying 'get yourself out of it. Put yourself in a position where you can't go back there'."

Hull goalkeeper Steve Harper, once beaten by a shot from his own half by Liverpool's Xabi Alonso, believes more long-range goals like the one scored by Stoke's Charlie Adam at Stamford Bridge could be on the cards and sticks up for Chelsea keeper Thibaut Courtois.

Harper told BBC MOTD2 Extra: "The days of a goalkeeper with his starting position standing under the crossbar are long gone. They do such a good job sweeping up behind their defence that far outweighs and counters being done over your head once in a blue moon like that. For me it's not a mistake, it's a fantastic execution from Charlie."

Mike Hunkin: Good to see Harry Kane given the chance to be captain today. He sets the tone by his work rate and hopefully the team follow suit

Martin Ratcliff: Kane as captain makes sense. None of the others selected, save maybe Bentaleb, are close to captain material.

Andy Pinkham: Making @hkane28 captain with Lloris out is a no brainer! Yelling at his team in the derby 'Never Give Up!', tells me all I need!

That's the first time Cristiano Ronaldo has scored five times for Real Madrid. A thumping win.

Nine! Nine-one! Cristiano Ronaldo heads in his fifth of the game. Obscene stuff.

This afternoon is Spurs keeper Michel Vorm's Premier League debut for the club as well. A top keeper for Swansea, but there's no doubt that Hugo Lloris will be missed.

Jermaine Jenas
Former England midfielder

New England international Harry Kane captains Tottenham at Burnley this afternoon as his stellar season continues.

"Just add it to the list," former Tottenham midfilder Jermaine Jenas told BBC MOTD2 Extra.

"He's having a fantastic year and what an honour for the lad."

Times writer Rory Smith added: "At his current rate of progress he will be Prime Minister by 2020. It's ridiculous."

It's a funny old week for Andros Townsend. Came off the bench to score a beauty for England on Tuesday, back on the bench for Spurs today at Burnley. Can he cement a place in either side in the long run?

Look away to write down some team news from Burnley and there are more goals at Real Madrid!

It's now 8-1. Read regular updates on that game in this page.

Luke: "Harry Kane as Captain? Is this the classic "please don't leave, what if we made you Captain"?"

Jermaine Jenas
Former England midfielder

Former England midfielder Jermaine Jenas believes Charlie Adam's wonder goal against Chelsea might not be a one-off and isn't top of his all-time list.

Jenas told BBC MOTD2 Extra: "It's the one thing that Charlie Adam has got in his game, superb long-range passing, and I think if he had another 10 goes in a similar situation he would do it again. He has got that quality to hit the ball so cleanly near to his body.

"I like technical goals, like Dennis Bergkamp's goal against Leicester, which really wow me."

Time for Paulinho to put in a shift for Spurs? All eyes on the Brazilian as Harry Kane caps his remarkable season by being named captain for the first time. Jan Vertonghen is ill.

Burnley are unchanged, but Norwegian midfielder Fredrik Ulvestad is named amongst the substitutes. A win would lift them out of the bottom three which would be a huge boost.

Burnley XI: Heaton; Trippier, Duff, Shackell, Mee; Boyd, Jones, Arfield, Barnes; Ings, Vokes

Tottenham XI: Vorm, Walker, Chiriches, Dier, Rose; Bentaleb, Mason; Chadli, Eriksen, Paulinho; Kane

Jermaine Jenas
Former England midfielder

Arsenal's 4-1 win over Liverpool has taken them up to second place in the Premier League and former Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas expects them to stay there.

Jenas told BBC MOTD2 Extra: "On current form I don't see why not. They have everyone flying it and everything is going well for them."
