Tottenham Hotspur have made significant changes over the summer, including changing manager, but whether or not that can spell a change in fortunes for Spurs is something only time can tell.
Burnley have tried to play it smart with their spending this transfer window, but they could lack quality going forward.
The Clarets lack of goals and Spurs Premier League pedigree should see them win a close one in this game.
Other markets include, Dominic Solanke to score anytime, Brennan Johnson to have two or more shots on target and Marcus Edwards to also have two or more shots on target.
