There are six Premier League games taking place at 3 pm BST on Saturday, May 11, one of which sees Tottenham play host to Burnley.
Tottenham go into the clash as 1/3 favourites to pick up a win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, while Burnley can be backed at 13/2 to come away with three points.
Ahead of the fixture, Tottenham are looking to keep their dwindling Champions League hopes alive. Burnley, meanwhile, face a similar struggle in their relegation fight.
Tottenham vs Burnley
It has been a rough few weeks for Tottenham, who head into Saturday’s game having lost four on the spin versus Newcastle, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool.
Said run has seen Spurs drop down to 5th in the division and seven points adrift of Aston Villa with three to play. The north Londoners do have a game in hand on Unai Emery’s side, which would close the gap to four if they win. But Tottenham would still need Villa to drop points in both of their remaining games to stand a chance of finishing 4th.
As for Burnley, their chances of staving off relegation took a major hit last week when they were smashed 4-1 by Newcastle United.
That result left the Clarets sat five points from safety with a much worse goal difference than 17th-place Nottingham Forest. Burnley’s last game of the season comes against Forest, meaning their survival could still be in their hands on the final day, but they have to beat Tottenham on Saturday or they will be relegated before that match.
