How Tottenham Hotspur could line up against Burnley

Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte must again cope without Cristian Romero for Sunday's Premier League clash with Burnley in North London.

The Argentine defender missed Thursday's derby win over Arsenal due to a hip problem and will not be available for the remainder of the campaign.

Matt Doherty, Oliver Skipp and Japhet Tanganga also remain out of contention for Spurs, while Conte is not confident about Sergio Reguilon's chances of returning before the end of the season either.

With Romero missing out again, Davinson Sanchez can expect another start in the rearguard alongside the resolute Eric Dier and Ben Davies in front of Hugo Lloris.

Emerson Royal and Ryan Sessegnon's spots out wide are safe amid Spurs' injury woes, while Rodrigo Bentancur and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg should be fine to go again in midfield.

Golden Boot-chasing Son Heung-min was visibly frustrated when hauled off by Conte on Thursday night, but player and manager quickly patched things up at the final whistle.

Son will therefore be primed to join Dejan Kulusevski and Harry Kane up top once again, with the latter aiming to become the first-ever player to score 70 Premier League goals on two different days of the week (Saturday and Sunday).

Tottenham possible starting lineup: Lloris; Dier, Sanchez, Davies; Emerson, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Sessegnon; Kulusevski, Kane, Son
