Tottenham experienced many ups and downs last season, and their league results were not satisfactory, but fortunately they won the Europa League championship and injected a shot of a heart-warming shot into the team. The team's lineup has changed a lot during the offseason, and the departure of meritorious players has also added a lot of fresh blood. The addition of new players has brought different tactical possibilities to the team. Judging from the pre-season warm-up match, the team has tried a variety of offensive methods on the offensive end, showing a certain offensive vitality, and the offensive organization has also undergone new changes. However, on the defensive end, there are still some problems with the running-in of the defense line. When facing a team with sharp offensive attacks, loopholes occasionally appear. In addition, the team's home atmosphere has always been enthusiastic, which has a positive role in promoting the players' performance, and its home advantage is relatively obvious.

Burnley returned to the Premier League as a champion. In the Championship last season, the team showed a tenacious game attitude and excellent team cooperation, and performed particularly well on the defensive end. With a solid defense line and efficient counterattack, they achieved excellent results in the Championship. However, the intensity and rhythm of the Premier League are far from comparable to the Championship. Whether the team can quickly adapt to the Premier League's game style is a major challenge they face. In terms of signings, the team has also made targeted personnel additions, striving to gain a foothold in the new season of the Premier League.

From the historical confrontation, Tottenham has the upper hand in the past duels with Burnley, winning at home many times, and having an advantage on the psychological level. But Burnley is not without a chance, they have also caused trouble for Tottenham in some games. In this game, Tottenham will take the lead in the home court and will inevitably take the initiative to attack with their home advantage and overall strength to strive for a good start; and Burnley will most likely be based on defense and wait for an opportunity to counterattack. Whether Tottenham continues its advantage over Burnley, or Burnley is upset in the first Premier League match in the new season, this game is full of suspense.
