Emerson starts, Lo Celso waits - The Tottenham team Ange Postecoglou should pick vs Burnley

Home comforts could be exactly what Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham need after four successive Premier League defeats. Burnley are this weekend's opponents and it provides a chance for Spurs to get back to winning ways.

It is a match of huge importance in north London with Burnley needing a win in order to keep their Premier League survival hopes alive as they currently trail Nottingham Forest in 17th by five points. For Tottenham, three points is a must when it comes to the race for the European places.

There is still an outside chance of Spurs finishing in the top four but they would need Aston Villa to collapse in the run-in as they currently hold a seven-point advantage. The worry for Spurs now is that Newcastle United are only four points behind them and they are in good form at a time when the north London club's momentum has fallen to pieces.

So who should Postecoglou select in his Tottenham XI to take on Burnley this weekend as they look to bounce back from the Liverpool loss? Our football.london writers have named the teams they would pick below.

Ange Postecoglou will more than likely switch things up in regards to his Tottenham team to take on Burnley following last weekend's defeat to Liverpool. The big talking point heading into the game is over who will start at left-back after Emerson Royal struggled at Anfield.

Spurs do not have a lot of options in that position at present and that may result in the Brazilian keeping his place unless Postecoglou wants to play Oliver Skipp there from the first whistle. Apart from his woes at left-back against Liverpool, Emerson has fared well on the whole this season when he has operated on the left and it wouldn't be a surprise to see Postecoglou give him the nod there once
