Currently sitting in 14th place, Spurs are eager to climb the table and re-enter the European qualification race. On the other hand, Burnley find themselves in a precarious 19th position, eight points adrift from safety, making this match a vital opportunity to salvage their season.

Burnley manager Scott Parker faces significant selection challenges with several key players unavailable.
- Josh Cullen - Out: Suffered an ACL injury in December and is expected to be sidelined for approximately nine months, a major loss for the team.
- Zeki Amdouni - Out: Sustained a serious knee injury in November, with a projected return in April before the season concludes.
- Connor Roberts - Out: Underwent elective Achilles surgery in October and is not due back until February after conservative management failed.
- Joe Worrall - Doubt: Was close to returning last week but will be reassessed ahead of this match, leaving his availability uncertain.
- Zian Flemming - Doubt: Ruled out for the previous game, with Parker indicating a potential return in the next fixture.
- Jordan Beyer - Out: A long-term absentee with no current timeline for his comeback.
Tottenham Injury List
Tottenham's squad is also heavily impacted by injuries, complicating manager Frank's plans.
- Lucas Bergvall - Out: Recently picked up a fresh injury, with unconfirmed reports suggesting he could miss up to three months of action.
- Ben Davies - Out: Underwent ankle surgery and is expected to be absent until April.
- Richarlison - Out: Suffered a hamstring injury that will keep him out for up to seven weeks, as confirmed by Frank.
- Rodrigo Bentancur - Out: Underwent surgery on his right hamstring and will not return until after the March international break at the earliest.
- Mohammed Kudus - Out: Ruled out for months with a quad tendon issue, with a return anticipated after the March international break.
- Dejan Kulusevski - Out: Dealing with a complicated knee injury; he recently had an injection to alleviate pain, and his status will be reassessed in 3-4 weeks.
- James Maddison - Out: Facing a long-term knee injury that may keep him out for much, if not all, of the season, with no specific timeframe for recovery.
This extensive injury list for both sides could significantly influence the outcome of the match, as managers navigate limited options and tactical adjustments.
