History of the Tottenham Hotspur v Burnley fixture

Tottenham H. prepare to entertain Burnley at White Hart Lane on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Spurs are clearly on top, having won 30 and lost only 12 of the 52 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at White Hart Lane was less than a year ago, in January 2009, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-1 thriller, in a League Cup match.
