Gear up for a thrilling Premier League showdown as Tottenham Hotspur faces Burnley on May 11, 2024, in a pivotal clash at the top flight of English football.
With only two gameweeks remaining, both teams are eager to secure vital points to achieve their respective season objectives.
Match Preview
Spurs have three games left to play, including a fixture with a game in hand compared to most teams around them, such as Aston Villa, currently holding the fourth spot in the Champions League standings with a seven-point lead.
Securing a victory in this make-up game could potentially be Tottenham’s last opportunity to qualify for the Champions League next season, especially since Villa is now out of European competitions and solely focused on this objective.
Recent form has taken a serious hit for Spurs, as they have suffered four consecutive losses since their win against Nottingham Forest at the beginning of April, with goals scored by Micky van de Ven and Pedro Porro.
After losing to Newcastle United 4-0 and the North London derby against Arsenal where they fought back but lost 3-2, Chelsea also defeated Tottenham 2-0 in another London derby.
In their most recent matches, Spurs faced heavy defeats, losing 4-0 at Anfield and 4-2 with goals from Richarlison and Son.
Despite this poor run of form and the lack of victories for over a month, Tottenham is likely to secure a spot in the Europa League for the next season, at the very least, currently holding a four-point lead over Newcastle in the race for fifth place.
On the other hand, Burnley sits five points behind Nottingham Forest in the 17th position, facing the threat of relegation if Forest win and Burnley drop points this weekend.
