We simulated Tottenham vs Burnley to predict FA Cup third round clash

Tottenham will try their luck in the FA Cup this weekend as Ange Postecoglou's side face Burnley in the third round of the competition.

Along with the Premier League, the FA Cup is the only other trophy on offer to Spurs this season, but Postecoglou will enter the clash with limited squad options. Son Heung-min, Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr have all been shipped off on international duty for the next month or so, meaning Spurs' list of absentees grows once again.

Spurs enter the clash on the back of a 3-1 win against Bournemouth, with Richarlison continuing his goalscoring form by scoring his fifth goal in as many games. The Lilywhites have already met Burnley once this season, with Son scoring three goals in a 5-2 win at Turf Moor.

To complete this simulation, we used EA FC 24 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.

We predict that Spurs could set up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Forster; Porro, Phillips, Davies, Udogie; Skipp, Bentancur, Lo Celso; Kulusevski, Richarlison, Johnson.

Richarlison and Brennan Johnson forced James Trafford into three big saves following the restart as Spurs looked for
