Gerrard: Spurs have been punching above their weight

BT Sport pundit Steven Gerrard has had this to say about Spurs' struggles in the Premier League this season.

"Over the last couple of years Tottenham have punched above their weight. Of late they've been inconsistent.

"You'd like to see them go through the gears. Can they get back to winning ways and play to their style: a high pressing game with a lot of energy and that quality in the final third of the pitch? That's what I'd like to see from them today."

Pre-match quotes from Mauricio Pochettino

On his team's mindset going into the match: "We've moved on from last weekend (the loss to Manchester City). The team is focused now. We are going to have a massive battle against Burnley. It will be so difficult but we are ready."

On Harry Winks' absence from the matchday squad: "He has a minor problem in his ankle. It's not possible for him to be available for today."

On Burnley's impressive start to the season: "They are doing fantastically. I want to congratulate them. It is a massive challenge for us, completely different to last week. We've moved on from that. We need to compete and be better."
