It is imperative that Tottenham record three points at home to Burnley on Saturday as they bid to end a dreadful run of form in the Premier League. Having lost against Newcastle United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool recently, Spurs have the opportunity to get back to winning ways when they take on Vincent Kompany's relegation-threatened side at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Burnley have to win in N17 to give themselves a chance of survival, with a defeat or even a draw seeing them immediately return to the Championship. For Tottenham, three points is also a must when it comes to the fight for Europe.
A Champions League finish looks highly unlikely now due to Aston Villa's seven-point advantage but there is still a possibility Tottenham can gatecrash the top four as they do have one game in hand still to play. The worry for Spurs now is that Newcastle are only four points behind them and, like themselves, have three games left on the calendar.
So, following last Sunday's 4-2 defeat at Anfield, how exactly could Tottenham line up at home to Burnley? football.london takes a look at the changes Postecoglou could potentially make for the team's penultimate home game of the 2023/24 term.
The first alteration Postecoglou could make is at left-back as Emerson Royal suffered a torrid afternoon at Anfield. Unfortunately playing a role in two of Liverpool's four goals, the Brazilian was hooked on the hour mark with Oliver Skipp introduced in his place.
