The chances of Leeds United's relegation rivals Burnley picking up three points at Tottenham on Sunday have been dealt a severe blow with the news that first-choice centre-backs James Tarkowski and Ben Mee are expected to be ruled out. Both have been described as doubtful against a home team who go into the game just one point behind Arsenal in the fight for the final Champions League qualifying spot.
Burnley's chances of keeping Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son at bay looked slim enough even with Tarkowski and Mee available. The deadly Spurs pair have rattled in 47 goals between them in all competitions this season with Kane contributing 25 and Son 22.
The former also bagged a brace in last night's 3-0 triumph over Arsenal with the latter joining the England captain on the scoresheet. Jesse Marsch's men, who are currently level on points with Burnley but have a vastly inferior goal difference and have played a game more, should know how the Clarets have fared in their noon kick-off when they take the Elland Road field at 2pm for their penultimate fixture of the campaign at home to Brighton.
