Spurs vs Burnley Preview

• Tournament: Premier League
• Date: Saturday, 16th August 2025
• Kick-Off Time: 2:00 PM GMT

• Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, North London

  The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium gears up to welcome the UEFA Europa League winners for the first game of the new domestic season. Despite an underwhelming campaign in the English top flight, Spurs shocked everyone when they won the UEFA Europa League after defeating Manchester United in the finals at Bilbao. After parting ways with Australian gaffer Ange Postecoglou, they roped in Thomas Frank from Brentford. Frank's involvement at the helm of proceedings seems to have been instrumental in the pre-season, as they defeated their arch-rivals Arsenal after a long time and pushed the reigning kings of European club football PSG to the brink of defeat in the UEFA Super Cup final after being two goals up until the 84th minute.

  Burnley, on the other hand, faced a tough challenge from Sheffield United while competing for the top spot in the EFL Championship. Their ascent to the English top flight hasn't been easy, but they have shown signs of improvement and will be hoping to kickstart the season with a big upset when they take on Tottenham Hotspur in North London.
