    Ten minutes to go before kick off in London and Lancashire. A win for Tottenham against Watford and they can go two points clear at the top although it is, of course, very early days.

    Burnley and Leeds, meanwhile, are looking to pick up their first win of the season today.

    On Kane starting for Tottenham: "I don't know if it is good news or bad news! He will sure give 100% in the game and we need to stay 100% focused on our performance today.

    "With humility and respect we will work very hard here. We will give our best and if we do that we will have a chance."

    Two games played and six points picked up. It has been a very good start for Nuno Espirito Santo, who could become just the second Tottenham boss to win his first three league games in charge.

    The only other man to do so was Arthur Rowe in 1949.

    "We had a not very good game (against Manchester United) and a better one (against Everton). There were improvements but they weren't sufficient enough to be able to win the game.

    "We expect a very intense game today."

    On Patrick Bamford's new contract and England call-up: "In principle they are two very good pieces of news for him and they are well deserved in my opinion."

    It feels like every season you get some people declaring this will be the one that Burnley drop and every time they defy those predictions.

    However, the stats are not looking great for them at the moment, particularly given their home form has usually been a big factor in them avoiding relegation.

    The Clarets have equalled a 42-year-old club record by going 11 successive home league games without a win (D5, L6), and they could lose six top-flight matches in a row for the first time since 1895.

  15. Leeds to be too much for Burnley?published at 13:12 British Summer Time 29 August 2021

    Burnley v Leeds (14:00 BST)

    Mark Lawrenson
    BBC football expert

    I have never worried about Burnley getting relegated under Sean Dyche, even when they have lost a few games because he will turn it around, but I am just not quite sure about this season. Something does not seem right at the club, although it is not the manager.

    It will be too much for them against Leeds because whoever Marcelo Bielsa's side play, they don't change. They will win more games than they lose and the manager does not let the players get away with anything. It is 90 minutes of sheer sweat, exertion and pressure.

    Prediction: 0-2

    Burnley boss Sean Dyche makes just one change from last weekend's 2-0 defeat at Liverpool as he bids to halt a run of five successive Premier League losses spanning the end of last season and the start of the new campaign.

    Ashley Westwood recovers from a toe injury to replace Jack Cork in midfield, while Aaron Lennon - who rejoined the Clarets in midweek - is among the substitutes.

    Burnley XI: Pope, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor, Gudmundsson, Brownhill, Westwood, McNeil, Wood, Barnes.

    Subs: Hennessey, Bardsley, Collins, Thomas, Pieters, Cork, Lennon, Rodriguez, Vydra.

    Leeds XI.Image source, BBC Sport

    Leeds, meanwhile, make two changes from their 2-2 draw with Everton eight days ago as both Junior Firpo and Mateusz Klich drop not just out of the team but out of the matchday squad entirely. More on whether those omissions are injury related when we get it.

    Diego Llorente, who made his comeback from injury in the midweek Carabao Cup win over Crewe, replaces Firpo, while Rodrigo comes in for Klich. New England call-up Patrick Bamford leads the line for the visitors.

    Leeds XI: Meslier, Lllorente, Struijk, Cooper, Ayling, Phillips, Dallas, Raphinha, Rodrigo, Harrison, Bamford.

    Subs: Klaesson, Cresswell, Forshaw, Summerville, McCarron, Costa, Roberts, Gelhardt, Shackleton.
