Can under-fire Thomas Frank end league slump at Turf Moor?

Tottenham Hotspur travel to Turf Moor to face Burnley in round 23 of the 2025/26 Premier League campaign as Spurs aim to ease the pressure around under-fire Thomas Frank.

Burnley battled to a 1-1 draw at Liverpool last time out and will be desperate to secure all three points and move out of the drop zone.

Tottenham suffered a disappointing 2-1 home defeat to relegation-threatened West Ham United in their last Premier League outing.

Match preview

Burnley have lost six of their last seven Premier League games against Tottenham, including each of the last four in a row since a 1-0 home win in February 2022.

Tottenham average 2.2 goals per game in the Premier League against Burnley (41 goals in 19 games), only averaging more against Hull among sides they’ve faced 10+ times (2.3).

Spurs are unbeaten in their last 13 Premier League away games against promoted sides (W11 D2) since a 3-1 loss at Leeds in May 2021.

Tottenham have lost four of their last eight Premier League games against sides in the relegation zone (W3 D1), including a 2-1 loss against West Ham last time out. Spurs haven’t lost consecutive league games, with both coming against sides in the bottom three, since March 1997 (vs West Ham and Nottingham Forest).

The Clarets are winless in their last 13 Premier League games (D4 L9). They last had a longer run in the top flight between August and October 1970 (14) and in the league overall between December 2006 and March 2007 (18 in the Championship).
