How Tottenham Hotspur could line up against Burnley

Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Tottenham Hotspur could line up for Saturday's Premier League clash against Burnley.

Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou should have Richarlison available for Saturday's Premier League showdown with Burnley at Turf Moor.

The Brazilian attacker netted his side's equaliser in their EFL Cup second-round clash with Fulham before being taken off with an ankle issue, as Spurs were dumped out on penalties at Craven Cottage.

Postecoglou only described Richarlison's problem as a "knock", though, and he will likely be fit to lead the line here, while all of Giovani Lo Celso (thigh), Bryan Gil (groin), Rodrigo Bentancur (knee), Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring) and Alfie Whiteman (ankle) are known absentees.

With Richarlison expected to shake off his concern in time for the weekend and Brennan Johnson not expected to line up so soon, the Brazilian starting through the middle would Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski to take up their usual positions in support.

Having all been named on the bench at Craven Cottage, Pape Sarr, Yves Bissouma and James Maddison will return to a formidable engine room, and the same can be said for Destiny Udogie and Pedro Porro in the full-back areas.

Only a couple of weeks on from an unfortunate deflection against Brentford, Micky van de Ven turned the ball into his own net in midweek, but the Dutchman will continue alongside Cristian Romero at the back, as Fraser Forster hands the gloves back over to Guglielmo Vicario.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Maddison, Bissouma, Sarr; Kulusevski, Richarlison, Son
