\n

Tottenham Hotspur will entertain Burnley at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday afternoon as they look to secure all three points in the Premier League season opener. Spurs suffered a loss on penalties against Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup final recently, so they would be eager to bounce back this weekend.<\/p>\n

Thomas Frank will opt for the 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make a couple of tweaks to his first XI for this game. Both Lucas Bergball and Brennan Johnson could get a chance to play from the start of this contest.<\/p>\n

Defence<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Guglielmo Vicario will feature in between the sticks for the North London club after he allowed a couple of goals in his last outing. Micky van de Ven will function alongside Cristian Romero at the centre of the Tottenham<\/a> defence as they look to keep the opposition attackers frustrated during the game.<\/p>\n

Pedro Porro will once again fill in as the right-back, while Djed Spence hopes to catch the eye on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the freedom to go forward and join in on the attack at every chance they get.<\/p>\n

Kevin Danso and Ben Davies will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench.<\/p>\n

Midfield<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Rodrigo Bentancur and Lucas Bergvall will operate as the holding midfielders as they focus on winning the 50-50 battles in the middle of the park. The gifted trio of Brennan Johnson, Pape Matar Sarr and Mohammed Kudus will play just ahead of them as part of Frank\u2019s attack.<\/p>\n

Joao Palhinha and Archie Gray will have to settle for a spot on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the second half if required.<\/p>\n

Attack<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Richarlison will spearhead Tottenham\u2019s attack in the final third. He has to find a way to be a constant menace up top.<\/p>\n

Dominic Solanke and Mathys Tel will have to be content with a place on the bench as they await their chance to make an impact in the final quarter of the game if the North London club are in need of a goal by then.<\/p>\n
