    ...it's a poor routine from Harry Winks but it rebounds off George Boyd for another corner.

    Christian Eriksen takes this time but Burnley rise to clear the danger before Vincent Janssen hacks down Joey Barton to give the hosts a free-kick.

    Burnley 0-0 Tottenham

    Lovely ball forward from Toby Alderweireld, looking for former Burnley man Kieran Trippier, but Stephen Ward is across to snuff out the danger.

    Spurs keep up the pressure though and win an early corner off Ben Mee...

    Joey Barton lets Dele Alli know he's there early on, clipping the young England international's heels.

    The first of many?

    Burnley v Tottenham (15:00 GMT)

    Today's replacement for the injured Harry Kane is Vincent Janssen, making his first league start of 2017.

    Indeed, it's only the Dutchman's sixth ever Premier League start as he still searches for his first league goal from open play.

    He starts today because Son Heung-min played 90 minutes for South Korea in Seoul on Tuesday.

    Can Janssen prove he isn't the second coming of Roberto Soldado with a vital goal for Spurs today?

    The way Spurs play is almost always focused on getting the ball to Harry Kane and more often than not he delivers but when he is not available to play, what do you do? 

    Do you bring in a top striker who knows he won't play unless Kane is injured? It's a difficult position they are in. 

    It's a huge void to fill - at the moment Vincent Janssen isn't quite there but it's a big confidence boost for him to be in the starting line up today.

    Nobody has gone to Burnley and rolled Sean Dyche's team over and I think they will pick up another point here as they keep edging towards Premier League safety.

    Prediction:  1-1

    Burnley v Tottenham (15:00 GMT)

    Liverpool's win over Everton earlier takes the Reds level with Tottenham on 59 points so a victory for the visitors here is crucial in terms of keeping the pressure on Chelsea and keeping away from the chasing pack.

    But Burnley will be a stern test and are unlikely to be mentally on the beach yet with the a top-half finish still very achievable.

    We're five minutes away from kick-off at Turf Moor.

    Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino on Harry Kane's injury:  "He will be fit before the end of the season and we believe he can be available in the near future.

    "I cannot provide a time it will take for him to be available again, but I don't think it will be too long."

    Burnley manager Sean Dyche:  "It's been five of the last six away from home, which is a tough task for anyone, so we are certainly looking forward to getting back to the Turf.

    "Now we are back at Turf Moor for five of our last nine - and although that doesn't guarantee anything, I think it's fair to say statistically it gives us more chance of getting more points on the board.

    "Even if you look at Spurs, their away record is nowhere near their home record. It just goes to show that it's tough on the road in the Premier League."

    Burnley v Tottenham (15:00 GMT)

    So this is 13th against second in the Premier League but it's also a battle of two sixth-placed sides.

    Burnley are sixth in the PL home table, having taken an impressive 29 points from 14 games at Turf Moor so far.

    Spurs occupy the same place in the PL away table, with only 18 points from 13 games on the road.

    The Clarets are, of course, bottom of the away table, while Spurs are top of the home table, helping to explain their respective overall league positions.

    Match of the Day commentator

    Spurs have never had as many points at this stage of a Premier League season but they know they have to keep on winning.

    It was an important psychological step for them to get over the line  last time out against Southampton  without Harry Kane. Dele Alli, who has 11 goals in his last 12 league games, looks ready to assume more responsibility.

    A glance at Burnley's hugely impressive home record will remind Spurs of the task ahead at Turf Moor.

    Sean Dyche's team will be delighted to be back in Lancashire, having played their last four games on the road, and Tottenham are only too aware that they are a different proposition at home.

    Oh, wait, it's actually true. Vincent Janssen starts for Spurs. His first Premier League start of 2017.
