Hello and welcome to Eurosport's live commentary of the Premier League clash between Burnley and Tottenham. This is Ryan Bailey (@ryanjaybailey) taking you through all the action from Turf Moor. Kick off is 17.30, team news to follow shortly.

Spurs have not won back-to-back games at Turf Moor in the past 92 years. Burnley have only lost one of their last eight home games.

Burnley have 12 more points than they've ever had at this stage of the season. And this is some expert trolling...

Kick-off is 10 minutes away. Tottenham have the chance to leapfrog Burnley into sixth place today, but they've managed to earn just one point in their last five away games.

Good news if Dele is in your fantasy team...

A clean sheet tonight will help Spurs avoid an impending defensive record...

After today's Clasico, Lionel Messi is the top scorer in Europe in 2017 with 54 goals. Harry Kane currently has 50, with two games left to match or beat the Argentinean's record.

Spurs are undefeated in their last seven bouts with Burnley. They won 2-0 at Turf Moor last season, thanks to strikes from Eric Dier and Heung-Min Son.

Three of the last six meetings between the sides finished honours even.

Kick-off is in 35 minutes.

No half-and-half scarves for this upstanding gent...

Harry Winks' absence has been confirmed as the result of a "minor ankle injury."

Kevin Long is in for the suspended James Tarkowski, while Erik Lamela, Danny Rose and Moussa Dembele will all start on the bench for the visitors.

Some may be surprised to see Dele Alli has held his place in the Spurs team, given his relatively poor form and Kevin De Bruyne assassination attempt last weekend. However, Pochettino clearly has faith in the England midfielder.

Burnley will spend Christmas Day above Tottenham if they avoid defeat today.
