Spurs Look To Stay in Touch with Liverpool and City

Tottenham defied the odds to reach the last 16 of the Champions League with a draw away to Barcelona on Tuesday night. Spurs only had one point after their opening three group games but they can look forward to Monday's draw. Mauricio Pochettino's side start the weekend six points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool and Spurs will be expected to stay in touch with a win at home to Burnley. The Spurs players deserve credit for the job they've done on the pitch, considering the delay with the move to the redeveloped White Hart Lane.

Tottenham are unbeaten in eight matches in all competitions against Burnley, winning five of them. Spurs are on a club record run of 20 league matches without a draw since a 1-1 draw at Brighton in April. Burnley's win over Brighton last weekend ended their eight-game winless run, which included six defeats. However the Clarets have earned just six points from their last 10 away matches. Sean Dyche's side have conceded 32 league goals this season; only Fulham, with 40, have a worse defensive record.

Tottenham and Burnley will be the commentary game on Premier League Live with Sky Sports on Today FM tomorrow. Ian Beach and Gary Breen will call the action from Wembley. Mark Lawrenson will join us between 2 and 3 to look at the week's football stories and preview the weekend's action, including Liverpool v Manchester United. Former Republic of Ireland internationals Tony Galvin and John Anderson will be this week's guests in the Boot Room to look back on their time in the Ireland squad and what it was like to play for Jack Charlton.

Premier League Live with Sky Sports from 2-6pm on Today FM.
