Under-pressure Thomas Frank takes his Tottenham side to 19th-placed Burnley in matchday 23 of the Premier League.

Thomas Frank has seen his name in the headlines a lot this week as his future at Tottenham is being questioned.

Tottenham sit in 14th place in the Premier League table and Tottenham fans are growing increasingly tired of the atmosphere at the club.

This week, there were reports that the club could sack Thomas Frank, however, after beating Dortmund 2-0 in the UEFA Champions League, it appears Thomas Frank has bought himself some time on the job.

For Burnley, things haven’t been great.

Since beating basement club Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-2 at the end of October, Burnley have failed to win any of their last 13 Premier League games (D4 L9) and remain in danger of dropping straight back down to the Championship.

Burnley and Tottenham met in the opening season of the weekend when Thomas Frank took over and the Clarets were hammered 3-0.

Burnley fans will be hoping for a different result this time around.

For Burnley, their captain Josh Cullen recently sustained an ACL injury and he joins their growing injury list.
