Tottenham Hotspurs 4-1 Burnley

The sides last met in the 2008-09 Carling Cup semi-final, what proved out to be an entertaining tie. The Spurs edged out the Clarets to the Finals with two goals in the dying moments of extra time after they trailed 3-0 in regular time.

All of Burnley’s three wins in the league have come at the Turf Moor while Tottenham have lost only to Manchester United at home.

Match verdict: - The Spurs attack consisting of the likes of Defoe, Keane, Crouch and Lennon would prove too hot to handle for the Clarets. An easy win for the home team.
