THE Premier League is back in action tonight as Tottenham round off the weekend with a trip to Burnley.
Jose Mourinho’s men will be keen to get back to winning ways after a 3-3 draw with West Ham last weekend and we have all the best tips.
Gareth Bale should be involved tonight
Burnley vs Tottenham, Monday 8pm (Sky Sports)
Oh to be a fly on the wall of the Spurs dressing room last week.
Tottenham let a three-goal lead slip in the final eight minutes against West Ham, capitulating in stunning fashion to Jose Mourinho’s horror.
That didn’t however stop them being made third-favourites for the Premier League title this season, regardless of the freak comeback.
In Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, they currently have the most dangerous double-act in the division.
And Gareth Bale could be added to the fray for this Monday Night clash under the lights. Tasty.
Burnley started last season slowly and eventually picked up some form, but Sean Dyche will still be concerned by their start this time around.
One point from a possible 12 and no victories from games against West Brom, Southampton, Newcastle and Leicester is not ideal.
Concerning for the Clarets too is their paltry three goals so far, two of which came on opening day.
They need to find their shooting boots – and fast.
Harry Kane is now joint-seventh in the list of players with the most hat-tricks
Tottenham are the league’s top scorers and if Burnley are to get anything out of this, we reckon they’ll need to score at least twice.
When meeting on this ground back in March, the teams played out a tepid 1-1 draw with Spurs playing no recognised striker.
It’s all change this time round and with their form going forward, they’re the ones to back on the goals market.
For a start, Tottenham are a great price of 8/13 to win the game and we think they will have learnt from the embarrassing Hammers debacle.
Spurs to win and over 2.5 goals is a terrific 6/4 and our biggest fancy for this one.
And to play it safer with another excellent price, take Tottenham to score in BOTH halves at a massive 31/20.
Plenty is expected of Bale since his return from Real Madrid and all eyes were on the Welsh superstar as he played against LASK on Thursday night.
He looked sharp and provided the assist for the second goal, showing that old magic is still there.
Kane is evens to net at Burnley and that’s a great price, but we prefer a fairytale punt on Bale marking his return to the Premier League with a goal at a huge 9/5.
