Mauricio Pochettino: "I am happy to play at Christmas. It’s very different for me because in my playing career I never played in this period, but I think it’s very nice. It’s a period for families, the people enjoy it and we are professional, privileged people. Personally, I am very happy to play and keep this tradition.”

Sean Dyche: "It’s important we’re ready to do business from our point of view. I always speak about the awareness of opposition because you have to be, never more so than at this level of football. But it’s still all about what we do and how we go about our business first and foremost. They’re a very good side and it seems like their way of working is beginning to take effect after an up and down early season period."

If the stats are anything to go by, expect goals today. There have been 21 goals scored in the last four meetings in all competitions between Spurs and Burnley, with at least five in each game. There have been 55 goals in the last 12 meetings between Spurs and Burnley at White Hart Lane; an average of 4.6 per game.
14.15
So there’s no place for Emmanuel Adebayor in the starting line-up or on the bench as Harry Kane continues up front with Roberto Soldado on the bench. Burnley is as expected.

Team news: Emmanuel Adebayor is available after returning from compassionate leave but they otherwise have no injury concerns. For Burnley, the match is likely to come too soon for Sam Vokes, although the striker is nearing a first-team return. Full-back Ben Mee has fully recovered from the illness which forced him off against Southampton, but Michael Duff (calf) has suffered a setback and joins Matt Taylor (Achilles) and Stephen Ward (ankle) on the sidelines.
