Pieters having to cover I believe
Both are out injured. Pieters is out too.
It is a tougher game than many on here believe, they will be desperate for the points given their start, and factoring in our flakyness in the 2nd half against West Ham.
But still given all of that....how by Zeus's tits did he arrive at that prediction?
The trip to Turfmoor hasn’t gone well last two seasons. The 2-1 defeat at the of February 2019 ended our title hopes that season and was the start of the long drawn out 9 month slump that cost Pochettino his job.
Last season we played dreadfully there as well, albeit escaped with a 1-1 draw.
I would expect a win on Monday night though.
FFS :mourfacepalm: Dreading this one. Actually chose to work Mon night to avoid most of it. Will catch the last 30mins when hopefully we're 3-0 up, in control, comfortable, and nothing can go wrong !
Just don't give away any stupid free-kicks please. Engage brain!

With you. Maybe 4-1 though - got to let one slip in.

Bench: Hart, Aurier, Davies, Sissoko, Bale, Vinicius and Dele.
Sanchez, Rodon, Winks, Moura and Bergwijn miss out completely.
PL should really look to allow teams to have 9 players on the bench. As long as only 3 subs are allowed, the shitty "it only helps the bigger clubs" excuse won't be relevant right? Why encourage clubs to have 25 senior players and then make them discard 7 of them on matchdays.

We are certain to lose this game if we defend the way we have in previous matches, Burnley are not going to play football they are just going to hoof it up and win free kicks. If we cut out the stupid fouls and clear the ball properly we should be looking at 3 points.
We always struggle against them so this is a big test for us, especially after West Ham. We have to be ruthless and manage the game properly.

I think we will be clever enough to create and find space to hurt them, but I agree our defending is garbage and needs to improve which if it does puts us in amongst the chasers.
