Match Stats

Tottenham Hotspur:

Merely three days following a 4-2 defeat at the hands of Brighton & Hove Albion, Tottenham rebounded to conclude 2023 on a positive note, securing a 3-1 home victory over high-flying Bournemouth in the Premier League on New Year's Eve. Before facing Manchester United at Old Trafford in their next top-flight encounter, Tottenham now shifts their focus to the FA Cup, aiming to advance beyond the third round, a feat they have achieved in 16 of the last 17 seasons.With eight FA Cup titles to their name, Tottenham approaches Friday's clash with confidence, having emerged victorious in 10 and drawn one of their last 11 home meetings with Burnley in all competitions. Additionally, Tottenham has prevailed in five of their previous seven FA Cup encounters against the Clarets, notably winning 4-2 on home soil in the third round during the 2014-15 season.


Burnley:

Burnley is gearing up for a potentially pivotal top-flight encounter against Luton Town, but their immediate focus shifts to the FA Cup. In the previous season, Burnley reached the quarter-finals of the competition for the first time in two decades, ultimately succumbing to eventual winners Manchester City.As they approach Friday's match, Burnley carries a mixed away record in the FA Cup, having secured victory in only three of their last 15 away games in the tournament. Their last triumph at Tottenham dates back to January 1983 when they claimed a 4-1 victory in the League Cup under the management of former boss Brian Miller. Notably, Miller had also reached the final as a player with Burnley back in 1962.


Analysis:

In a positive development for Spurs, the midfield duo of Oliver Skipp and Rodrigo Bentancur made a return in the victory against Bournemouth. Bentancur's comeback was particularly surprising as he returned six weeks ahead of schedule from an ankle issue. Both players are now in contention to feature in the upcoming match on Friday.Dejan Kulusevski is set to make a return after serving a one-match suspension in the previous outing. Additionally, players like Fraser Forster, Eric Dier, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, and Bryan Gil are all hopeful of earning a spot in the starting XI.On the other hand, Burnley is dealing with several absences. Luca Koleosho, Hjalmar Ekdal (both suffering from knee injuries), Jack Cork (calf), and Jordan Beyer (thigh) are all sidelined due to various injuries. Furthermore, Berge is unavailable due to suspension following his dismissal in the previous weekend's match.


Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:

Forster; Emerson, Dier, Davies, Udogie; Skipp, Hojbjerg, Lo Celso; Kulusevski, Richarlison, Gil


Burnley possible starting lineup:

Trafford; Roberts, O'Shea, Delcroix, Taylor; Gudmundsson, Ramsey, Brownhill, Redmond; Amdouni, Rodriguez
