Tottenham confirmed team vs Burnley: Lucas Moura starts as Dejan Kulusevski drops to bench

Antonio Conte has been forced to make one change to his Tottenham Hotspur starting line-up to face Burnley in the hosts' penultimate Premier League match of the season.

Spurs climbed to within a point of fourth-placed Arsenal with their 3-0 win against their local rivals on Thursday night. The Gunners still hold the initiative but Tottenham must do their part and win their remaining two matches to keep the pressure on Mikel Arteta's men. Tottenham can jump into fourth spot for at least a day if they can beat the relegation-battling Clarets, before Arsenal make their way up north to play Newcastle on Monday night.

The quick turnaround between Spurs' matches, less than 72 hours, has not helped Dejan Kulusevski. The Swede has been feeling unwell in recent days - not Covid-related - and his status was assessed on Sunday morning to see what kind of part he could play. In the end it was decided that the winger would take his place on the bench.
