Team News: Vincent Janssen up front for Tottenham Hotspur

Janssen up front for Spurs

Vincent Janssen starts up front for Tottenham Hotspur's visit to Burnley this afternoon.

The Dutchman gets the nod ahead of Son Heung-min, who drops to the bench, as Mauricio Pochettino makes three changes to the side that defeated Southampton before the international break.

Harry Winks also returns to the fold, joining Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen as support for Janssen in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Ben Davies joins Victor Wanyama in a defensive midfield role, while Mousa Dembele and Kyle Walker drop down to the bench.

Kieran Trippier comes into the back four at right-back alongside Eric Dier, Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen.

Notable injury absentees include Harry Kane (ankle), Danny Rose (knee) and Erik Lamela (hip).

For Burnley, Sean Dyche names an unchanged side following the goalless draw at Sunderland last time out, with Ashley Barnes and Andre Gray continuing up front.

George Boyd, Joey Barton, Jeff Hendrick and Scott Arfield make up the midfield, while Matthew Lowton, Michael Keane, Ben Mee and Stephen Ward are in the back four ahead of Tom Heaton in goal.

Meanwhile, Steven Defour overcomes a hamstring injury to take a place among the substitutes.

Burnley: Heaton; Lowton, Keane, Mee, Ward; Boyd, Barton, Hendrick, Arfield; Barnes, Gray Subs: Flanagan, Brady, Westwood, Vokes, Tarkowski, Defour, Robinson

Tottenham Hotspur: Lloris; Trippier, Dier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen; Davies, Wanyama; Winks, Eriksen, Dele; Janssen Subs: Vorm, Carter-Vickers, Walker, Dembele, Sissoko, Nkoudou, Son
