Tottenham

Tottenham remain hopeful that club-record signing Davinson Sanchez will receive a work permit in time to feature in Sunday's Premier League clash with Burnley.

The Colombia international defender joined Spurs from Ajax but may be forced to sit out the meeting at Wembley if his permit is not issued in time.

The Colombian defender joined Tottenham for £42m after one season with the Dutch side

Key match stats (supplied by Opta)

Tottenham have won four and lost just one of their previous six Premier League meetings with Burnley (W4 D1 L1).

Burnley have suffered a defeat in all three of their Premier League away games at Tottenham Hotspur; the last two of which have ended 1-2.

The Clarets’ last league win against Tottenham Hotspur in London came back in October 1974 in the top-flight (3-2).

Burnley will be making their first appearance at Wembley Stadium since the 2008-09 Championship play-off final, which they won 1-0 against Sheffield United.

Following their 1-2 defeat to Chelsea on MD2, Tottenham Hotspur have lost seven of their last 10 matches at Wembley Stadium (W1 D2 L7).

Burnley failed to attempt a shot on target in their MD2 defeat to West Brom. This is the third occasion since the start of last season that they haven’t attempted a single shot on target in a Premier League match; no team has failed to do so on more occasions in this period.

Burnley have won their last two Premier League away matches in London; 2-0 at Crystal Palace in April and 3-2 vs Chelsea on MD1 – before these two games, they’d picked up just two points in 15 Premier League trips to the capital (W0 D2 L13).

Sean Dyche’s side won just one game and seven points from their 19 Premier League away games in 2016-17, but equalled their away win total in 2017-18 on MD1 at Chelsea (3-2).

Harry Kane has now had 34 shots and played 12 games in the month of August without scoring in the Premier League.

Tottenham's all-time top scorer in games at Wembley is own goals, with Michy Batshuayi's last weekend being the fifth netted in favour of them at the Stadium.
