After a storming start to the Ange Postecoglou era that saw Spurs go unbeaten in the Premier League until early November, things have been less rosy in Tottenham recently. Injuries to both centre-backs have left them short at the back, while James Maddison's creativity has also been sorely missed, resulting in four wins out of 10 since their unbeaten run ended. With Fulham also knocking them out of the Carabao Cup back in August, the FA Cup represents Spurs' best chance of glory in Big Ange's first season in charge.

Burnley are in the midst of a serious relegation battle this season, but sometimes an FA Cup run can lift the mood at a club in trouble and give the players confidence that they can turn things around. Wins have been hard to come by for Vincent Kompany's side so far, but two of their three Premier League victories did come on the road, and with Spurs already down to the barebones this could be an opportunity for the Clarets to snag a morale-boosting win.

Here's how the teams line up:

Tottenham XI: Vicario (GK), Perdo Porro, Royal, Davies, Udogie; Skipp, Bentancur; Lo Celso; Kulusevski, Richarlison, Johnson.

Burnley XI: Muric (GK); O'Shea, Vitinho, Taylor, Delcroix; Zaroury, Ramsey, Cullen, Odobert; Amdouni, Foster.
