Mauricio Pochettino knows Tottenham need a top performance on Saturday if they are to take any Premier League points away from Burnley.
Sean Dyche’s side sit 13th in the table almost purely down to their superb home record, with the Clarets picking up 29 of their 32 points this season at Turf Moor – including a recent 1-1 draw with table-toppers Chelsea.
Burnley are not safe from relegation yet with just eight points separating them from the drop zone, and are winless in their last seven league games.
