Don't think I have time to sort out a song for this prediction.
It has come too soom after Thursday.
So just in case that's how it is, here's my unadorned prediction.

Prediction: Spurs 3 Burnley 1
Scorers: Kane, Son, Dier
Cheers, Spurf! <cheers><cheers><cheers>

I'd prefer to go with Rodon instead of Sanchez (even though Rodon is the LB slot), or even go with only 4 at the back and an extra player in midfield .

Despite what has been said , Sanchez was awful until we took control of the game on Thursday. They would have been better off targeting him instead of Son.
After we scored and they went down to 10 men, he had very little to do- before that he had NO confidence and was frightened every time he had the ball.

Today, I think we( the supporters ) will be in good voice again as since there has been such a short time between games, the euphoria has not yet died down.

Delighted to see Arsenal have been given an extra 30 hours to prepare for their next fixture.

Why do we have the noon slot?

What’s worse at this stage of the season? - Less of a rest period? or going into your game knowing the result of your rival team?

I certainly wouldn’t want us to be dealing with the pressure situation of knowing Arsenals result. We know how that ends! <laugh>

Thinking that myself. That extra recovery time is significant and could easily determine the 4th place.
This potential revenue impact for a club is immense: that's why there's a fight for the slot.
To disadvantage one side in a two horse race appears at best unnecessary and at worst dubious, particularly given the PLs willingness to allow the NLD postponement earlier in the season.
 
Rumours doing the rounds that Kulusevski is going to miss the game due to illness.

Nothing achieved by whining about it.
Get the win, and then Spurs have one more day than
them lot to prepare for the final game of the season.

If true (hopefully only a "bit of a cold" etc) , I would be tempted
to start with Bergwijn. He is fast, less likely than Moura
to repeatedly run into dead ends, and has at least this
season scored some goals for both club and country.
 
So here we are under 2 hours before kick off and I have that feeling of dread that all Spurs fans know when we are 'expected' to win.

Very short turn around as previously noted and no real options for changes and now we here maybe no Kulu.

Add to that a team who desperately need something and who are well known for being difficult to break down and these are all point to us dropping points today. I hope that if Kulu is missing it’s Bergwijn who comes in but we all know that it will be Lucas.

An early goal is a must today score in the first 30 mins and the likelihood is that we win the longer it stays goal less the more they will grow in confidence and we become susceptible to the sucker punch as per the game at Turf Moor.
 
Lucas starts <doh>

Pondering it more, my Bergwijn comment was incorrect.
Moura has never been an "impact" sub (apart from that
PL game away against Citeh) , whereas Bergwijn has been.

The least we can hope for is that he is not an hindrance
to the attack, but is a distraction/diversion for the Burnley defence.
